| Digital Evolution He can probably fix that, unless you don't have 24 bit chips in it :^). Even then, he can put them in. At least you have a display window on yours, my early AL just has a couple of status lights. | |
| How do you know if a cable is neutral? Hell of a good question, and hell of a good answer, Bigtee! | |

| No sound from left channel on power amp There may also be rail fuses along each bank of transistors that could blow (Acurus amps are like that). Have you tried contacting the manufacturer (if the owner's manual provides no guidance)? | |
| CD Tweaks and Longterm Damage I'll add to the Shine Ola praise--I found it made a positive difference for my discs as well. And it is a great name. Now I need to find a treatment that not only removes dust but also repels it from the disc (my Forsell goes crazy when dust gets ... | |
| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Naw, I'm not bothered by pcm per se, but I am bothered if it's 16-bit pcm, and I do not put it by some companies to try to repackage 16-bit/44khz digital masters in a new format. I have 20 and 24-bit pcm recordings on SACD and like them quite a bi... | |
| Fidelity Timf, on your last point, I have not heard any system that can reproduce the dynamics of a live performance, there's always some form of compression, particularly a full blown orchestral climax. You'd need many thousands of watts and a speaker cap... | |
| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Thanks, Kal, that's what I wanted to know. Hadn't gotten to reading this month's magazines yet. | |
| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Is there anything in the jacket notes that would indicate if these SACDs are made from the original analog tapes to DSD or from pcm masters? I am hesitant to buy recordings I already have on good vinyl in the SACD format if they come from pcm (pos... | |
| Quattro Fil vs Valhalla I think it's possible that any unused input/output is letting RFI into your system--I know that's why people use shorting plugs or things like the Cardas Caps on their unused preamp inputs. Maybe that's happening here? | |
| Fidelity It's actually an interesting philosophical question, though in the end Reubent is right, if it brings you enjoyment don't worry about it. Initially, my understanding of the meaning of high fidelity/hi-fi was to mean fidelity to the source, i.e., t... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... No, but if you see some NBS Omegas there, that's the guy!! She claims she thought they were very large sausages that had turned grey with mold... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... Damn it, I put my cables into the trash bags as Rpatrick suggested and then into the freezer, but my wife cleaned out the freezer and threw them out this weekend!!!! Be forewarned if you try this tweak! | |
| So YOU can't hear a difference in cables The Van den Hul carbon fiber cables are exactly as you described; the First was even better, but I had hum problems with it. If you like the sound of the VDHs, no reason why you shouldn't stick with them; if you want cables without that glare you ... | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Temptation? David, of all the amps I heard with the Temptations, the Boulders easily were the best in the bass; they had more uncovered low frequency ambient information than any amp I've ever heard, a very noticable trait. I think you'll like the combination... |
