| Tone controls- to use or not? Carl, get a hearing test done first. A hearing specialist can tell you what frequencies you have problems with and what things will agitate you or cause more damage. You would do the same for your eyes if you were having trouble reading, right?Sec... | |
| Music Server Any music server with an internal hard drive is inherently inferior in my opinion because of the heat, noise, and vibrations it can create. Hard drives have short lifespans as well (3-5 years max in most cases) and will require eventual replacemen... | |
| Is it worth expanding into Vinyl??? Paradoxically, nearly "everyone" regrets doing it [tossing their records].You said it Audiofeil! I had a collection of abut 1,000 LPs at one point. Should have just stored them somewhere while I was moving around. Instead, I'm slowly rebuying many... | |
| Is it worth expanding into Vinyl??? I've just been going through this very same thought process and have some observations. 1. For analog recordings (i.e. pre-1985 or so), vinyl gets to the soul of a music experience that digital simply cannot. Even with it's higher resolution and e... | |
| Battery Powered Turntables? Opalchip, you make a good point - I guess hadn't really thought this all through properly. I live in an old house with old wiring that creates a lot of noise pollution - even through my power conditioner. My solution is to take all my equipment of... | |
| Battery Powered Turntables? Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The Amazon and Scheu look promising - I'll research those some more.Thanks again. | |
| LP shipping The "pizza box" type of box is hopefully the kind specifically for LPs. That should give you better results. | |
| LP shipping Crud, I feel like an idiot. I just ordered a dozen 180 gram special editions and had them shipped ground...to Phoenix Arizona. At least I had the foresight to have them delivered to my office instead of my home. Here's hoping for the best. | |
| Any comments on the PS Audio DL111 with Stage IV mods? A follow-up to my previous comments about the harshness of my level 3 mod; I have since moved my system into a larger room with more wall treatments for sound dampening and it has made a world of difference for me. With less flat surfaces to bounc... | |
| Any comments on the PS Audio DL111 with Stage IV mods? 2chnlben, I haven't contacted Rick yet because I'm not convinced the DAC is a problem. I want to test different cables and sources first to see if I can soften the edges. The stock DAC was sharp to my ears to begin with, so it may just be the natu... | |
| Any comments on the PS Audio DL111 with Stage IV mods? I have the stage 3 mod paired with my moded Sonos box. The difference between the stage 3 and stage 4 is an upgrade to the coax input that keeps it in phase better. Since the output of the Sonos already has the upgrade on the coax out, I skipped t... | |
| Upgraded Sonos ZP-80 Power Cord Just got it in my system last night and my initial perception is similar to Jseminetta's - a cleaner and deeper bottom end is the most immediate thing to jump out at me. I get hints of better staging here and there that will likely get better as i... | |
| Upgraded Sonos ZP-80 Power Cord Great recommendation Tboooe! I can't believe I've never asked this question myself. I should get my Power Punch tomorrow! | |
| PC Audio Choice: Mac+USB, Transporter, or Squeezbx Your listening preferences and the type of DAC you are attracted to are the real deciding factor here. It would be wise to try a few things if you can; you can do a 30 day trial with the Transporter and your local dealer should offer at least a we... | |
| How much longer will CDs be made? I think people will always want the physical, tangible object to hold. There's something about putting on a disk of your favorite artist (digital or vinyl) and flipping through the booklet or lyrics. It helps create that emotional bond with music ... |
