| Room treatment...what is the goal? Depends on the room size but an RT60 of around 0.4 to 0.8 is desirable. You can allow RT60 to get over up to 1.2 or 1.4 at 20 Hz. 0.4 is closer to dead studio sound and 0.8 is closer to what may sound best in classical. The smaller the room the mo... | |
| The difference between impedance and resistance As to inductance the motion of a charge (which is current) causes a magnetic field. Agreed. And the magnetic field can be shown to be a relativistic effect (Einstein - special relativity) of the pure electrical field. It all depends on your frame... | |
| New Rockabilly Guitar Monster The kid really has talent.If you like this music then a "must have" is this gem of an album.Crazy LegsAwesome | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings The Daptone Gold LP, 24 best tracks by their roster, is amazing as an introduction. Absolutely. I saw Naomi Shelton & ~The Gospel Queens recently - awesome stuff.Daptone Records has some fantastic artists. | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? I will tend to take much more seriously a well reasoned explanation backed by solid science - meaning that I will accept some well supported manufacturer's claims.When something makes absolutely no sense at all - then my philosophy is why waste an... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Above when I say "not sure" - what I mean is that the software can tell the drive what to do and I don't know if MAX software is telling the drive "not to interpolate" uncorrectable errors. Some softwares will do this and then you get an error rep... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Shadorne - I'm not sure how this interpolation works. Is it happening also when I use program that rips CD as data (like MAX) - I hope not. Do you know?Not sure if the software or drive will conceal an error or not but from what I understand - on... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? I knew when I posted it,... I would get that answer.... All I can say to you is, have you tried it? I suggest you try it for yourself. The science is pretty clear on this. If you suffer issues then the difference between the disc material is caus... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Kijanki,The Reed Solomon interleave is actually quite robust however CD players will indeed "interpolate" as a last resort when data is missingIt is true that you might not know when your CD player is interpolating unless the disc is quite badly d... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Not to open up another can worms, but there is differences in sound heard from a blank CDR burned on a home computer and one burned on a stand alone CDR recorder. And yes even when using "Exact Copy". Since the CD copy should normally be a bit pe... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? Jferreir,I suggest you move the left speaker out of the corner and both speakers away from refractive edges of the desk. It will cost you nothing and will make a huge improvement in imaging and sound. | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? It seems to me that the bit stream speed is independent of the bit content. If this is correct than should not the jitter be either constant of possible a function of the disc itself (like radial position or burn/pressing quality)? That was assum... | |
| New Tom Petty Regarding the Mojo BD, dynamics are similar to Tom Waits Heart Attack and Vine CD. Recordings of such high quality are extremely rare these days. Some may not like the "live" sound - so opinions can vary - no doubt some will hate it.Although, it m... | |
| New Tom Petty I just received the Bluray of Mojo and it comes with a link for a FLAC stereo 24bit 48KHz download.It is better than the CD, same EQ and mix and obviously the same studio master but there are more dynamics. While the CD was very good, the Bluray i... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Jitter is not a problem with "digital" part of digital (the robust part). Jitter is part of the analog problem with digital and can be regarded as a D to A problem (or, in the studio an A to D problem). It is an analog timing problem whereby disto... |
