| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Psychic, you are comparing apples to zucchinis. The atmosphere, acoustics, goals, etc... of a nightclub sound system are VERY different from that of a true "high fidelity" reproduction system. Regardless of the brands used in either, the nightclub... | |
| Do all DAC's need a signal to lock on to? This is not abnormal and depends on the design of the two components in use. The clicks that you're hearing is the relay engaging which in turn feeds the digital signal into the converter. I'm pretty sure that there is a simple way to disable the ... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Thanks "Meta" for clarifying the issues. Sounds like this program is REALLY worth the money and FAR more versatile than any of the others. Since your 1 gig puter can do it overnight, my older 200 can probably swing it within 2 - 3 days or so : )Ps... | |
| Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers? Thanks for the honest "review". Given the fact that you are an owner of their top of the line model, i would consider your point of view to be worth more than someone who does not own any of their products ( me, for example ). The "funny" thing is... | |
| CD Clubs -Press their own CD's? Sugar, i too have been buying cd's from BMG and noticed the "manufactured for BMG" on the liner notes. I just "assumed" that the discs were made specifically for them by the original manufacturer. While i have never done a side by side listening c... | |
| Passive Preamp Project vol. II There are different types of attenuators. Some can maintain a constant input impedance to minimize "loading down" the source but still adjust the output level accordingly. Try contacting Michael Percy, as he can supply you with the parts and diagr... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Metaphysics: Several YEARS ??? Thanks for the warning and the laugh : ) I guess i know what to expect now...I've seen others state that this program is SLOW and can really chew up computing power. My fastest puter is a lowly 350, so it might take ... | |
| COAX VS OPTICAL CABLES While optical cables may have minimal line loss, the same can not be said for the digital to optical convertor on the "playback" unit or the conversion from optical back to digital on the "recording" unit. Why not stay digital from deck to deck an... | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? I've used Technics tables before. Since i'm not "drag racing" turntable motors, "clocking" the start up time or "scratch mixing", i'm not real worried about those aspects. I am more worried about the subtle details, better resolution, improved iso... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software While i haven't seen my September Stereophile yet, i guess that they talk about this program, maybe even review it. Based on Frank's ( Frap ) comments and what i read on their website, i've ordered their "package deal". This consists of the comput... | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? Psychicanimal, please explain what you mean by "no one can PLAY records on a belt drive" ??? I'm sure that i'm not the only one that got lost on that one.I think that Fisher came out with a table that should've been the BEST in theory, but like mo... | |
| Help - my new Classe CAM350s have blown up... That's an excellent point Bob and often overlooked. Big amps require big power. Low voltage can cause an amp to oscillate, causing damage to output devices, blowing caps in the output section, etc... With the amount of draw that these two amps are... | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? Belt drives typically offer better isolation of motor vibration. Whereas a direct drive unit has the motor "directly coupled" to the platter / record / arm / cartridge interface, the only thing linking the motor to those things is the belt. Depend... | |
| Recommend good satellite speakers? Brian, try finding some of the little 2 way Castle's. Can't remember their model name, but they can be had "on sale" or as demo's for just a bit over $300. Unlike most English speakers, these actually sound relatively full bodied yet retain the ex... | |
| Questions for Audio Engineers While i've never read the book that Elizabeth mentions by Gene Heal, most of David Weems' books are pretty easy to follow along with. I would start there and THEN look at Vance Dickason's book. Kind of like getting the basics down and THEN going d... |
