| DSP'ing a CD I haven't done it, but it's a subject of interest to many. Why EQ in real time if your room is relatively constant.This link might be of interest:http://www.duffroomcorrection.com/wiki/Main_Page | |
| best classical LP labels Some of this is a matter of taste. The reason I say this is that different labels have a different characteristic sound. I personally like some of the older Decca recordings because the recordings capture the ambience of the venue. The resulting s... | |
| Rega planar 3 bearing and oil Jason,Boca bearings sells them. http://www.bocabearings.com/I'm not sure if the silicon nitride bearing made much improvement. It certainly did not make the magnitude of difference that changing the oil to Mobil SHC634 did (that's a huge upgrade).... | |
| Glass platter or Acrylic? Alternatively try a Funk firm achromat on the glass platter. I put on on my P3 and the difference was immense. The Rega zip and drive is retained, but the music lost any harsh edge and the table resolves a lot more detail now, and the bass is much... | |
| Best bang for the buck turntable? I think a $1k turntable will disappoint next to a $3k CD player, especially if a cartridge and phono pre are included in the $1k.I would say you should budget nearer $2k total as a minimum, with something along the lines of a VPI scout, Nottingham... | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? Planckscale, I've been travelling on business for the past 10 days. This leaves two options:1) No music2) ipod + Sennheiser HD280proSince #2 cost me all of $200 for heaphones and refurb ipod and sounds indistinguishable in quality from my panasoni... | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? I think it's a sign that when people buy luxury items they usually want others to be able to see it: ostentatious displays of wealth are in.Hifi fails lamentably on this account, which makes it much more worthwhile in my opinion. | |
| Looking for insight on the Green Mountain Europas I compared them with Spendor S3/5s and they destroyed the Spendors in every possible aspect, but most especially in imaging, an area in which the spendors are supposed to excel.They are very transparent and image extremely well, but at the same ti... | |
| Nano sound: 1G vs 2G "NOW, where can I get some "new old stock" or refurbished 1G nanos? A second one for me and one for my nephew."On the apple online store, under refurbished ipods.The refurbs are guaranteed for 1 year same as a new ipod. I got a refurb shuffle and ... | |
| Nano sound: 1G vs 2G Art, it wouldn't be entirely surprising if the new nano sounded worse (I've read reviews that say the new shuffle sounds worse than the old one).The new ipod nano could have been one of three exercises for apple:1) A simple recasing because of com... | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? Albert, if the RIAA were doing their job we could rent music and then pay an ownership fee if we wanted to keep it. With practically all other products I am able to return it if I really don't like it, but with CD's I'm supposed to fork over $15 a... | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? Ferrari, I have to correct you on the contents being $25.Modern electronics is largely software, and software is not free. Perhaps the BOM for the hardware is $25, but it's evident to me that a significant effort went into the software both on the... | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? So intelligent that he can't answer my question. What type of encoding did you listen to ? Apple lossless ? WAV ? AAC 192 ? AAC 128 ? MP3 128 ? | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? Ferrari ... what was the encoding format of the music ? It makes all the difference. Lossless and 192kbps AAC sound pretty good through my sennheiser cans.128kbps MP3 on the other hand sounds absolutely terrible. | |
| Who makes half size transports thes days? Audio note and Cyrus come to mind, though Cyrus only makes CD players, not transport-only devices (though they're reputed to be very good).Meridian transports are 2/3 width and very high on the WAF. |
