| What is correct buffer size in iTunes? A large buffer size will mean you are less likely to suffer from dropouts due to momentary bandwidth restrictions... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Mark,My remark was not in favor of Verity versus B&W. Both are similar designs and suffer from Grand Canyon midrange scoop. (large midrange that beams)As an example of a better design (staying with B&W) take a look at this smooth on and of... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Mark,FWIW I would stay away from the 803d model unless you like a midrange scoop. The tweeter is crossed over at 4 Khz. Inevitably this means that the large 6 inch midrange will beam at the frequencies between 1 and 4 Khz. This is definitely not w... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Duh! For that kind of money take a long weekend and plan a visit somewhere - so that you can audition. | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 vs DAC-1 HDR Musicnoise, You can do that - but you will likely need the 20 db attenuation - you can verify that you are not overdriving teh pre by using the volume control on a loud loud CD track and see if you reduce distortion by reducing the volume. You wil... | |
| Gauge + Length +Material = Sound My prediction is Wishful thinking + Expectations = Perceived Change in Sound.There is no likely change in sound for short runs of RCA for several feet when using properly matched, well designed and well functioning equipment.Since you do not hear ... | |
| Suggestions on a balanced preamp? You need a preamp with a good output to drive a long cable. I'd recommend pro gear - for example the DAC1 HDR. Most pro preamps will have a more powerful output stage than the consumer equivalents and are better able to handle the higher capacitan... | |
| How do you correlate the SPL with db SPL is a unit of measure - Sound Pressure Leveldb is a particular practical logarithmic scale for plotting SPL's named in honor of Alex Graham Bell - decibel SPL db = 20 Log (Measured Sound Pressure / Ref Sound Pressure)For your purposes it is the... | |
| Sub Recommendation to handle both music and movies I agree - SVS | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? The Leonore looks like a great speaker, but should I not be a little concerened about the Scandinavian designed tweeter made in Indonesia? No. Tweeters are not that important in the scheme of things. Midrange and Bass drivers are much more import... | |
| Your First Concert was..... Buddy Rich and his big band or Cleo Lane with Dankworth & co - can't recall which was first - my parents took me - and it must have been 1970 or so. (My dad played trombone in a jazz band.) The first concert I paid for myself (as a student who... | |
| Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative The SpecialsThe English BeatMadnessHave all produced some awesome stuff ....enjoy.and for something modernRebelution | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I agree with Buff. Skaaning are in another league compared to the others. 2 inch voice coils and large magnets with decent Xmax - they should sound very clean with low distortion compared to almost everything else on the market. | |
| Stones remasters... Jump Back CD is good I have the UK release. Tatoo on Vinyl has great sound (one of the few Canadian pressings I have). | |
| Been listening to The Beatles ... I am pleased with the mono - Rubber Soul came out real nice - however I am not sure if the box set was worth over $200 as none of the earlier stuff (pre-stereo) was that well recorded anyway. |
