| There's a sucker born every minute I agree with Nrchy, most hi end oriented copy sounds just as ridiculous. | |
| OLD tubes or NEW tubes. scott vs. jolida These will cost you more, but they're completely reburfished, have a 30 day money back gaurantee and come with a limited warranty. {url=http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/tubeamps.php]Mapleshade[/url]. They claim 4 to 6 weeks delivery.I've no... | |
| Loe Reed's speaker reviews His preference for the Klipsch is quite reasonable being that one of his demo disc was Outkast's "Hey Ya'" at high volume. Overall, I thought it was a very good audio review for a general publication magazine. Remember, in the real world $2,500 is... | |
| USB Audio Output Recommendations? Questions... Sample rate conversion and word bit interpolation are CPU intensive processes. You might be better off keeping your files at 16/44 and getting an upsampling D/A. | |
| reactions to SMILE? It turns out to be quite a complex recording process. The basic instrument tracks were recorded thru a custom mixer (tube?) at 24/88 directly in ProTools. The converters were Apogee. With the exception of the bass tracks, no compressors were used.... | |
| USB Audio Output Recommendations? Questions... Your CDs are 16/44 and unless you subject them to sample rate conversion and bit interpolation they will stay 16/44 when ripped to your hard drive. | |
| Meitner DCC2 vs. Analog - Opinions Please Rlips, did you ever finish listening to your entire music collection? | |
| Meitner DCC2 vs. Analog - Opinions Please You have a very nice system. If you like the way it sounds, then do absolutely nothing. With such a high quality system money is nearly always better spent on adding new music. Based upon my experiences with the M-L Odyssey I'd recommend you add a... | |
| ipod/itunes problems Merganser, nowhere in the original post was it stated that the iPod was a high end device suitable for "critical listening", therefore your original response was irrelevant and totally unhelpful.You might be able to find an answer to the skipping ... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? Cats like a smooth surface to rest upon. Place any object (framed pictures, plants, books, vases, etc.) on top of the amp that breaks up the smooth surface should prevent the cats from reposing. Just take care not to block the air vents. Also, per... | |
| speakers in a bad room The room will need some form of acoustical treatment, but I suggest you mate that with a speaker that is designed with narrow dispersion characteristics which you can set up for near field listening. This will probably limit you to single driver o... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? That's the best explanation I've ever read for why opera accounts for less than 1% of music sales. | |
| Rives PARC or Tact 2.0 AA for room correction? I don't disagree with Mprime's comments, but it makes more sense to me to just go digitally from the CD player to the Tact. The different (if any) between the D/A stages is probably less than the ill effect (even if small) of the added A/D/A stage... | |
| reactions to SMILE? My understanding is that it's not a complete analog recording, but a digital mix of analog and digital parts. | |
| Rives PARC or Tact 2.0 AA for room correction? It doesn't make much sense to use the Tact unless you're going to just use the EMC as a transport and rely upon the Tact for D/A conversion. There is absolutely no reason to add extra A/D and D/A stages to your playback chain. The Tact's D/A may o... |
