| HELP for Tinnitus As a former stomach sufferer (acid reflux, not ulcers) I remember telling my doctor that I was stressed because I was in searing pain for weeks on end, and NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, but they just refused to believe me.In the end I cured my reflux ... | |
| The worlds ultimate toy I thought yatchs had sails ?I'd love to have a go at sailing a yatch (have neither the time nor the money at present), but the type of boat pictured holds absolutely no interest at all for me. | |
| Help with Revel and Dunlavy Tweeters I believe that th Dunlavys are a 1st order crossover design, where the Revels are not. I'm not a speaker designer, but I would have thought that this would put the tweeter in a drastically different environment.I'd look at the lower frequency cuto... | |
| New Cain & Cain IM Ben Fostex/double horn - help The Cardas speaker placement has always worked very well for me, but it recommends that the speakers are further from the rear wall than from the side walls. There's a simple formula for calculating the distances at www.cardas.com under one of the... | |
| Replacement Tweeter for Epos ES14 Speaker? You could try www.madisound.com for advice. | |
| Cartridge for my Linn Sondek LP12? I used to run a Linn K9 on my Rega p3 and enjoyed it very much. I now use a GOldring 1042 and it is slightly better than the K9 in all aspects. Linn's Asak is a slightly modified 1022.The 1042 is a terrible rip-off in the US, but if you buy direct... | |
| Only three manufacturers? I read in stereophile that the size and shape of a woman's breasts don't matter, and that all women really look the same. Apparently we just imagine them to look different.Seemed like a funny subject for stereophile, but, hey who am I to disagree ? | |
| Upgrade bug - speaker choice and your opinion See if you can demo some Harbeth compact 7s, as they will almost certainly give you much improved low end response, volume, and transparency, without being too forward.The other way to attack this problem is to buy speakers used, one pair at a tim... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Izsak ... most mixing desks may still be analog, but the huge success of Alesis ADAT and similar (and the high cost of analog tape) means a very large percentage of the music of the last 10-15 yrs was recorded in PCM. Much was then mastered onto D... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Jeff ... thanks, I understand that DSD is a delta-sigma modulation. Don't be fooled that its high sampling rate makes it superior to DVD-A because delta-sigma convertors require a MUCH higher sampling rate than PCM systems so that they can track a... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Metralla, could you elaborate ? I don't mind being brought up to date if I'm incorrect, but your response is just plain rude.Here's a mastering engineer describing exactly what I said above ....http://www.smr-home-theatre.org/surround2001/technolo... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Aren't ALL digitally recorded SACDs originally recorded in PCM then converted to DSD during mastering ? Do any digital multitrack recorders and mixers run natively in DSD ? I thought they all ran 24/192 (or 96kHz) PCM.The DVDA standard (PCM) is th... | |
| Upsampling.......... Hi Dave,my wife would get it because we're both engineers ! In fact we often have nerd type conversations regarding audio, even though she's not interested in hifi, and she calls me a geek whenever I tinker with my system.By the way I've never kno... | |
| Upsampling.......... Funny you should ask about the algorithm. I was thinking about this last night (because I really have no life !)A perfect CD player would have an anti-aliasing filter that was a perfect brick wall. Below 22kHz signals would be completely untouched... | |
| Upsampling.......... It's been a while, but I think it goes like this ....Upsampling does not increase the detail, nor does it increase the bandwidth of the signal, but it alters the sampling frequency, and so it pushes the aliased signals (see Nyquist's theory of sam... |
