| What is the story with 24 bit masters 24/96 . Lake513: This whole thing is pretty confusing, so don't feel alone. As I understand it, you need a transport that can read a 24/96 disc (a DVD player will do that; there are also some high-end transports out there, but probably not worth getting u... | |
| What is the story with 24 bit masters 24/96 . I don't believe the true 24/96 discs from Chesky can be read by a CD player; my Classic DADs can't be read by a CD player, only a DVD player. There's a difference between a 24/96 RECORDING, which can be downsampled to 16/44 redbook CD standard, an... | |
| Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan Thank you to all of you for your concern and messages. John_1, I see Rayhall has posted on another thread, so I'm glad to see him well. | |
| Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan Thank you, Detlof, I'm OK, as I was not in the buildings at the time. I usually time my trip to the office so I'm coming up from the PATH under 1 WTC about 8:55 a.m. (just as the first plane hit, I understand), but yesterday I went in an hour earl... | |
| Soudstage issue Not an unusual occurrence, in my experience, and one I've wondered about a little too. When you think of it, a solo piano has its own pair of stereo recording mikes, so this could cause the effect; I've always assumed that it was because of the po... | |
| What tube amp for watt/puppy V.1's As a Jadis owner, and not being a real fan of either WATT/Puppies or the Audio Research amps, I'm surprised to report that I heard the WATT/Puppy 6 combination with ARC Reference 300 Mk II amps and felt that it was stunningly good. Finally an ARC ... | |
| Any other tubes out there? 6bq5 is correct, to my knowledge, about the Ei's. They used to come stock with Jadis preamps before the war came. I have a set that came with my JP80 and a spare reserve set, but they're in storage since I started using Telefunkens, which are just... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Abstract7, yes, I remembered your prior posts about Temirkanov; I thought they were terrific when I heard them with Zinman, so I'd love to hear an orchestra that sounds better than that! Here in NJ we're looking for a successor to Zdenek Macaal, h... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Detloff, I find it funny that it would take each of us about the same amount of time to get to Vienna to hear the VPO, although it would cost you a little less! Actually, I'm going to be there next June for a private concert in a nearby castle, so... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Hello Detlof! At least twice a week, as I sing in a church choir and we have a rehearsal and performance every week, and I listen to our organist's postlude. As far as attending concerts and other musical events, I attend at least two or three a m... | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon Sugarbrie, there actually are a good number of new classical SACD releases now coming out from Telarc, Delos, Hyperion, Lyrinx, Bis and Sony Classical, among others, most of which are DSD recordings or 20/24 bit recordings converted to DSD and all... | |
| What is the story with 24 bit masters 24/96 . The final product is converted down to standard CD redbook; no CD only player I'm aware of can read and play back a 24/96 disc. I think what they've done is use 24/96 technology to get as much of the analog masters into the digital domain as they ... | |
| Favorite SACD's There are a number of previous threads on this subject that you should check out for good recommendations. A recent SACD which I bought is a Bis recording, Prieres Sans Paroles, which is a recording of 20th Century pieces for solo trumpet and orga... | |
| any one comparing DCS with upsampling to SACD? Not sure what you're asking in the body of your post, but in response to the heading I have a Forsell MkIV, dCS Purcell upsampler and Audio Logic 24 bit DAC combo which I use for CDs, and a Sony SCD777ES modded by addition of the Audio Logic tubed... | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation Bmpnyc: In response to your last question, I found that the inner tube base appeared to have the effect of making the player seem like it sounded about 2 db louder; essentially, it lowered the noise floor and made the soundstaging much better, as ... |
