| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I agree with your comments, except I wouldn't object to $30.00 or even $50.00 for a perfect digital copy of the master file. Unfortunately, the "master tapes" are not always that great. Lets face it, you can only use up so much studio time and se... | |
| Balanced or Unbalanced? I was told each unit sounded better using bal I/C but the amount of change was a surprise!! It was as if the S/E had been choking the system down!! Such a huge performance improvement is unusual - perhaps you had a problem with noise from a groun... | |
| How much power is to much power? A million watts is probably too much. A million isn't exactly a lot of power. This Crown give me a feeling of power! Power! Forgive me a cruel chuckle, heh, heh, heh, power | |
| How much power is to much power? For your current speakers 140 is far enough - same if you upgrade. Frankly if you need more SPL then get a bigger speaker (three way) rather than overdrive a small one - your little speaker will be mostly distorting when driven hard.FWIW: If you a... | |
| Loud background noise: cables picking up RF? Is everything plugged into the same electrical outlet? Also look at this - Jensen Transformer - it might be a ground loop and this will eliminate that. Of course it is best not to have anything at all in the signal path but you already have a majo... | |
| What are the best digital recordings I can buy ? It has to be a native format that exceeds Redbook CD resolution otherwise there is no inherent added value. DVD players and Blu-Ray can both exceed CD.DVD format can contain up to 2-channel Linear PCM audio data ranging from 48 kHz/16-bit to 96 k... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? This is a great thread but I think people who prefer Analog are barking up the wrong tree when they try to "justify " their preference from a "technical" perspective. you could feel the relaxing nature of all analog versus analog with some digital... | |
| is too large a room no good? I used ATC SCM 20 and a sub in a room with space for a complete badminton court, hot tub and large ornamental fig tree. Approx dimensions were 50 feet by 36 feet with 11 to 18 feet vaulted ceiling. No problem at all to fill this space (but I absol... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Digital has improved, yes, but only the very highest quality equipment, I would say at a minimum cost of at least $50,000, can even begin to be spoken of in the same conversation, sound-quality wise, as a properly set-up vinyl rig So which $50,00... | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day BTW - I can confirm, live Santana band was a lot better than on CD's - simply put in a live performance they didn't compress the hell out of the drums and backing musicians and jack up the guitar like they do on the CD's.Dennis Chambers on drums w... | |
| static/electrical interference sounds from speaker Ground loop or more likely failed component.Check you have a proper ground (no cheater plugs)and try plugging everything into the same recepticle (OPPO 983 and Amp) - use a power bar if necessary. If that does not cure it then one of the power sup... | |
| An Audiophile's journey An active speaker may work well with the proprietary internal amp but is even more dependent on the specific amp designed for it. Rwwear,I agree with you entirely.However, my point was that the speaker is designed, built, tested and specified wit... | |
| Power problems.... Ground, dedicated lines, ect For example, the lights dim when the air conditioner comes on. That is quite normal. As you draw more current the voltage tends to drop - often the current draw when an AC starts up is very high - your lights should not remain dim but the slighte... | |
