| Is anybody using Ready Acoustics bass traps ? Thanks for the feedback. The GIK products look better and are within my budget. I'll start with 4 of the 244s. | |
| Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock Chris, I can't imagine how you could remove jitter from an existing digital recording as there's no inherent information that would allow you to determine the jitter in order to subtract it.I think a bad digital recording is destined to remain a b... | |
| Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock Ehider ... USB DACs are RAM buffered because USB does not stream the data at the bit rate required by the DAC.Since it's possible to buffer for USB then it's possible to do the exact same for SPDIF.A more likely explanation is that the USB DAC you... | |
| Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock Ehider ... you don't need USB, you just need a buffering and reclocking DAC, like the Lavry 924. A relatively small RAM buffer will allow for any drift between the transport clock and the DAC master clock.Of course, the more stable the DAC master ... | |
| Transport mechanism maximum "life". I suspect that many last longer, and the manufacturer is informing you of what they find to typically be the case. If yours has not yet failed I wouldn't worry about it. | |

| Rega upgrades/tweeks Adding the Funk Achromat to my Rega P3 was the best thing I ever did to the deck, as it cleaned up the sound no end. The bass is more defined and the treble less harsh. | |
| Philips VAM1202 Transport Problem- Need some help My comment on the adjustment was based on my assumption that the MCM part would be a drop in replacement, and for $20 it's not worth the time and effort to adjust. Obviously the equation changes somewhat if the replacement doesn't drop in :-(It's ... | |

| Cambridge Audio 640p vs. ??? - outcome? Have a look at www.pinkfishmedia.net there's a lot of info on the 640p over there. | |
| turntable sounds better on warm summer nights Could it be changed bearing tolerances due to dissimilar metals ? My rega has a brass bearing housing, with a steel shaft: these metals expand and contract differently. It's pretty common to have a brass or bronze housing with a steel shaft, and a... | |
| Monitor Audio Made in China? Green Mountain Audio Europas were $999 factory direct last time I looked, and are excellent speakers, if somewhat aesthetically-challenged ! | |
