| PSB speakers? Anyone have any opinions? I've really enjoyed my bronze's quite a bit. They're very friendly speakers in terms of positioning and set-up. PSB has also done a nice job of providing speakers throughout the lower price range (alpha mite -> stratus gold). I think of PSB's a... | |
| MISSING THE POINT? I definitely spend more time in music stores than I do thinking about the equipment. I don't think I've come upon a genre of music that hasn't held some gem for me. This is a blessing as there is almost always something new that I like and have ne... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Remember, Kthomas, that a computer's transport doesn't really need to concern itself with timing the way a DAC might. From what I understand, jitter is introduced when the periods of the signal stream that the transport is outputting becomes diffe... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma I wonder what Kharma's corporate net worth is... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Carl, I think that you're somewhat talking past Dshin. He objected to the ---- data CD has much higher tolerance for errors than an audio CD, because of the nature of the error correction of the software (it does perform heavy interpolation to cor... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Dshin answers my question as I make my post... Still wondering if audio cd's could theoretically use the same IEEE standards for ripping the bits and then buffering the data for output into the DAC. Actually, doesn't Levinson do something like this? | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Except it's mostly correct. When modems transfer data they do simple error detection/correction like the (11,8) method mentioned above. If there is an unrecoverable error, the word is resent. I wonder if data roms will also rescan a disc when an u... | |
| Neophite needing advice If by clasical and jaz you mean smaller chamber type ensembles then you may want to try the Triangle Titus (500) with the Jolida 202A IA ($750). This'll squeez you for a CD player and tuner, but you'll get loads and loads of detail and warmth from... | |
| Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used? I'd like to thank you two for making the presidential debates seem witty, concise, informative, and relevant. | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Albertporter - can you please post everywhere that I read online? Sedond & Carl - I've read and enjoyed posts from both of you, but exchanges such as these really should be kept to e-mail correspondance. | |
| Audiophile considering HT Any A/V receiver that you might consider will probably have s-video switching. PSB has a speaker package in its image line (used to be called century) that isn't too bad and is priced fairly well. I think the hardest thing that you'll have to do, ... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? ***Warning, a lot of rambling to follow*** Suggesting that it takes an audiophile to really love reproduced music is akin to saying that you need a gourmet to really love food. I've seen plenty of people who obviously enjoy (VERY obviously) food, ... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? arc - Unofrtunately, I think many have forgotten that #3 is perhaps the most important. My rule of thumb has always been that you should have at least 2:1 software:hardware ratio. | |
| Feelings on Napster? If this is a master plan by Napster than I want Scott (that's his name right?) running the country. The above mentioned company is BMG and I'm pretty sure this is all ad hoc. But, perhaps this is vindication of my idea that the best plan for the r... | |
| sony dvp7700? My dealer wanted 1800 for it, and he says they've already sold quite a few. These may be hard to get ahold of at first. Dunno, though. I saw Sony's glossy brochure for it, and it does seem nice. |
