| Deciding on the right huge speaker Pick the dealer and then pick the speaker. At this price level a good dealer will visit your house, assess your listening room and then recommend the appropriate speaker and accessories (acoustic treatments, power amps, cabling, etc.). Rather than... | |
| How come that when most audiophiles Other than the reference the other Albert (Einstein's description on how complex the laws of physics have to be), who's exact comment escapes me, my earlier post was solely directed towards Twl's excellent post. To be referenced in the same senten... | |
| How come that when most audiophiles I reject the notion that there is a single technical and/or equipment path to audiophile nirvana. What works for one person may not work for someone else. While the system you describe might work wonderfully on several types of music, I doubt it w... | |
| DAC's and cd rom drives You should be able to get good quality sound from your proposed setup. The external D/A will receive the clock information from the Roland, not the Apple. I have no experience with the Roland or any other USB interface, but if you think it is limi... | |
| Anyone using Waves plugin for noise reduction? This is not a direct answer to your question, but I do have some relevant comments. My turntable/arm is an RPM w/ the Benz Ruby. For digital conversion I use an Apogee Rosetta into an RME Pro soundcard. The software is t.c. Works Spark XL (MSRP $6... | |
| The Politicians Are Getting Involved - Stop Them For more information on this subject visit http://www.hrrc.orgIt's the website for the Home Recording Rights Coalition (HRRC). They are a lobbyist group concerned with recording issues. | |
| The Politicians Are Getting Involved - Stop Them This is the link to the NYT article. (Note: you may have to register w/ NYT to access the article.) It gives a good overview of the situation. The main issues to me are copy protection and recording quality. I want to ability to digitally copy any... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 I agree w/ CFB and I'll pick folk music. After all didn't Ray Charles once say...It's all folk music 'cause donkeys don't make no music. | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Bomarc makes a very good observation. Even if I was only allowed a single record, I could be tempted if it was something like "Hendrix: Every Note He Ever Played".BTW, you boombox would contain a CD player, cassette recorder, AM/FM, karaoke mic, g... | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? I could flip a coin and live with either outcome, but if pressed I would go for new music over future upgrades. I am fortunate in that I already have a high quality system and a reasonably large music collection. I really could go either way. | |
| better gear, worse recordings Great responses to an interesting observation. It's not been a problem for me. As my system and hearing abilities have evolved I'm better able to hear some of the recording techniques on records, but this doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the m... | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... Walter, your plan is well considered, but the point I was trying to make earlier is that stretching to upgrade now will prove more costly in the long run. Looking at the general quality of your system (which is quite high), I suspect that you will... | |
| Make/buy rumble/warp filter for pre phono inputs? Zaikesman what were your results trying to transfer to CD-R without a filter? Are the warps so great that they use up all of the A/D's headroom? I've read that records can be de-warped by clamping the disc between two non-heat conductive surfaces ... | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... My audiophile experience has led me to conclude that the mid-level audiophile stuff is not worth the incremental cost. Either stay at the Rega level or spring for big bucks at the VPI Aries/JWM level, or higher. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not say... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Hager, I apologize if my earlier comments were out of line. I may have misread and/or misunderstood your original post. Thanks for the clarification. |
