| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Albertporter,Nice story connecting Dr Thomas Kite, PHD of Audio Precision Inc. with the victorian circus poster "Kite" that inspired Lennon! I enjoyed this and had a good laugh.All, More seriously, Audio Precision Inc is a company soley dedicated ... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD 16-bit 44.1 KHz digital is like low-resolution video. Comparing Digital audio with low resolution Digital video is another audio myth. Let me clarify why this statement can be misleading:Our eyes can clearly detect much greater pixel video resolu... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Interesting thread. I respect that some people may prefer how Analog recordings or vinyl sounds, however, I maintain my view that Digital is an undeniable improvement over Analog (for many reasons).Since the evidence is overwhelming and widely ava... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Dopogue,I respect that your $3000 turntable may sound nicer to your ears than a $150 CD player on a particular recording...I see this as a question of taste and not a measure of performance. I respect that some people love vintage cars too...and t... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Digital is far superior to Analog. This is a well known fact. Why else has digital become a standard for playback and recording? Perhaps those who prefer analog are either nostalgic or have made such a significant investment in vinyl that they are... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System 10% rule is way too much for something that has such little audible effect on sound (electronics engineers will predict that after a minimum basic size of copper cable is met then it has zero audible effect and ABX testing of ordinary cables again... | |
| xStream speaker cables and B&W 804s Unless you place some electronics in your speaker wires or go to an unusually resistive cable or incredibly long lengths then you are unlikely to change the sound of your system by changing speaker wires.In order to sound warm the cables would nee... | |
| Do long interconnects degrade sound? I would add that the music sound is most unlikely to differ audibly between the RCA and the balanced XLR cables....it is just the background hum or hiss that may improve (from ambient electrical noise from appliances power and AC's etc.)....so my ... | |
| Do long interconnects degrade sound? I have experience with long interconnects 75+ feet.RCA type have a tendency to pick up more hum or ambient electrical noise which is apparent when you have the volume turned up and no music playing....hiss or hum.XLR driven by balanced amplifier c... | |
| Which one benefits more from a better power cord? Muratc,The DAC has an anolog output which is why I called it an analog device....your transport has an optical digitial out and this is why I referred to it as all digital.Digital signals are very robust - they tend to either work pefectly (follow... | |
| Which one benefits more from a better power cord? Muratc,Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. Intuitively I would have guessed the opposite. I would have thought that the transport, being an all digital device with optical digital output, would be very robust with respect to power supply conditi... | |
| ATC SCM-35 I have not heard the 35's myself, all I can say is that the specs and the reviews are impressive...it looks like great value. Since I have the space, my best option was to go for a second hand pair of 100A's...excellent value for sound performance... | |
| Which one benefits more from a better power cord? Since you own the statement already I would try a blind test experiment with a friend to see if the statement in various positions sounds better/worse/same to your own ears in a particular position. If you can hear a significant audible improvemen... | |
| ATC SCM-35 SCM 100's, Is my 12' by 10' room too small?? Jrmanders,The 100's are a big speaker that was engineered for music playback for professionals; they are about as far from esthetically pleasing as you might get (WAF rating of -1 from 0 to 10 and near... | |
| Need help making TV decision EDTV will give me better viewing on non-HD sources and TiVo than HDTV? (Perhaps I should ask, will HDTV give me worse viewing than EDTV on these sources?) Yes the Pansonic EDTV pixel format fits the DVD/TV format optimally and it does a farily go... |
