| Pairing Yamamoto A-O8S amp with Supratek Cortese He said 74 dB @7 ft. That is a very subdued level.With my Yamamoto or Korneff 45 I could play either Audio Note HE AN/Es or Tonian TL-D1s (both about 95 dB/W anechoic) to 85 dB levels in a very large room 10' from the speakers. Excellent sound, if... | |

| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? Admittedly I have not heard the Manley preamp but I have owned a couple Shindo pres and heard others. The Shindo sound is very distinctive (and very pleasant for most, although if there were to be a criticism it would not be inaccurate to say they... | |
| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? Audiofreakgeek, Shindo sounds like Shindo. Nothing else sounds like Shindo. I know of no other brand that has a house sound so ubiquitous through the product line. | |
| Dodd Phono Pre Amp or Eastern Electric Mini max Had both. MM much preferable to me. Dodd thin, a bit harmonically bleached in comparison. Dodd may be just a bit quieter. | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? I have final results to report after further analysis.My findings indicate that Beethoven's 9th Symphony ripped by dbpoweramp is notably inferior to Stairway to Heaven ripped by XLD. The differences are not subtle, and furthermore they remain cons... | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? I now believe that the reason the 2nd rip of Beethoven's 9th sounded like Stairway was that I accidentally used a Zeppelin CD.This casts some doubt on the entire experiment. | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? Steve: so they have a flat-out bug in the software? Ought to be easy to fix. How long has it existed?I went through your experiment using Beethoven's 9th. The dbpoweramp rip sounds awesome but the iTunes rip sounds exactly like the studio version ... | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? One other question: Does Pure Music handle ripping, too? IOW if you have it installed and rip through iTunes is PM software doing the ripping? | |
| Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF? If you set error correction on with iTunes how could you get anything other than a perfect rip? | |
| anyone compared ASR emitter amp with Spectron ? Dob, I had a thought: since the Emitter uses an opamp input stage, it too is a "chip amp" of sorts (complete with massive amounts of feedback, though in a very fast local loop). Heck, you're right, the Spectron may well sound just as good. I would... | |
| anyone compared ASR emitter amp with Spectron ? I still put some stock in my educated guess that the Spectron *does* have some traits in common with other class D amps - especially considering the feedback I've heard, which jives with that. The Emitter is a truly world-class amp, on the other h... | |
| anyone compared ASR emitter amp with Spectron ? Dob, have you owned either of the amps in question? Your reply suggests not yet you decided to offer an opinion anyway. I suggest mine was actually a bit more relevant. | |
| anyone compared ASR emitter amp with Spectron ? I have owned an ASR Emitter. It is an incredible amplifier - one of the best in the world if you need that much power (and if you don't, but then you are overspending). Meaning it is (at least) as pure and direct as the best 45 SET amp but with 18... | |
| Who's Converting LPs to HD files? What I'm wondering is whether any commercial shop will start doing this en masse. Everybody who has recorded vinyl even on so-so equipment knows how good it can be - better than all but the best-mastered RBCDs. A studio, company, or individual tha... |
