| Preamplifier power supply for example the built in preamplifier in the Benchmark DAC. To me it sure looks like a pretty big overkill toroidal transformer in that little box... | |
| Preamplifier power supply Yes you do need a good quiet power (toriodal) supply that keeps noise away from the circuitry - and big capicitance like on a big power amp is one way to do that. Of enormous criticality is how power supply is kept away from ground and how balance... | |
| The best CD Player for the money One other CD question. If the CD is properly encoded, how could there EVER be any frequency above about 20khz? There isn't. However, jitter and other issues can produce out of band noise which can get aliased in. Upsampling will try to push the n... | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? FWIW - A $250 BD player can play DVD's too....just because you own one does not mean you are forced to buy every $35 release that comes out. I use common sense. I only buy movies that I really want - the others I wait until they show up on TV. Bes... | |
| Favorite Telarc releases..... Lorin Maazel and Cleveland Orchestra Shostakovich 5th is way way fun on Telarc.Rachmaninov with Horacio Guitierez also with Lorin is also another favorite of mine. Lorin makes classical fun and a bit funky. He seems to understand rhythm and pace b... | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? OK, BluRay is better, but I don't see a big enough difference to change from DVD's, especially since I see BluRay as the 8-track of this decade. It's a stop gap. Have you seen Blade Runner in BD compared to DVD? I mean it is like night and day. S... | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Try Medeski Martin Wood - Combustication Some great laid back flowing organ stuff coupled with some really funky drumming! | |
| slow, funky, groovin' laid back music Medeski Martin Wood - Combustication ( laid back to me - but I guess I am not a laid back listener!!!) | |
| slow, funky, groovin' laid back music Try - Soulive "Doin Something" - you will surprised - awesome grooves | |
| used vs "Giant Killer" Stick with a top seller one that got raves when it came out and is still manufactured as is - practically unchanged for more than 5 years and yet still gets raves. I mean one model unchanged not one that has version B, C, D E or F with different d... | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? If you have a 1080P TV = 1920 x 1080 pixels then there is no question that Blu-ray quality is better. Get Planet Earth by the BBC in HD and prepare to be gobsmacked! | |
| The best CD Player for the money Muralman - I read Kusunoki's article and have few problems with it. I don't understand it either. He is mixed up in my way of thinking. He forgets that we use dither to get a lot more out of LSB's (to remove quantization errors). His assumption t... | |
| Why do dealers do this? Mr T. Here you go and using a quotation without reference is plagiarism! (just kidding) | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? You guys make me laugh though. F15 taking off. 135 db spl. Too loud. That is nothing. You guys are just wussies. Here I am at the airfield with my 153 db SPL system - just kidding ;-) | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? I have had occasion to work with an F15 fighter in a flight testing project. Let me tell you, a full afterburner takeoff from a couple of hundred feet beside the runway is an awesome experience. I didn't know there were some aeronuts here on A'go... |
