| Is their a CD recorder that can do this ? The Alesis MasterLink has a feature called Normalizer. It basically scans your entire track for the highest volume. It than applies a multiplier so that the peak volume equal to full scale. In other words, after normalization, all your tracks will... | |
| DVD audio recording? Thsalmon,I am in the same boat at you are. I have an Alesis MasterLink and have been archiving my LPs for the past few months. I choose to record at 24/88.2 rather than 24/96 so that I can put a little over 23 minutes on each CD, just enough for o... | |
| Cleaning Records I clean my LPs manually using Disc Doctor's products with excellent results. The cleaning instruction is posted on their web site (http://discdoc.com/). It is worthwhile to take a look. | |
| Recommend speakers for a strange move For $2K, I normally would suggest looking into used Vandy 3A Signature but its WAF is not much better than Maggie 3.6. My next suggestion would be a pair of used Coincident Partial Eclipse. Its 92db sensitive will enable you to downgrade from sepa... | |
| Do tube dampers really work? I don't know what the theory is but I have 8 Hal-O in my BAT VK-50SE and they really work wonders. | |
| Yet another SACD question Not all the multichannel SACDs have identical tracks between the multichannel mix and the 2-channel mix. For example, The Artistry of Teresa Perez from FIM does not offer 2-channel mix for "The Bee" and "Rachmaninoffs Variation On A Theme of Paga... | |
| Problrm with spade and my amp......? Rick,I don't think what you are doing will degrade the sound but psychologically it might. I am more concern about the dangling half of the spade. If they are exposed, they might be at risk of accidental short. So for the safety purposes you might... | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise I have another guess here. Some phono amps do not have a subsonic filter built-in and the extreme low frequency caused by the warp may have overloaded the input of your preamp. To test this theory you can either hook in a subsonic filter or hook i... | |
| Decent starter cables? I am going to go against the grain here. For interconnects, I would recommend you try the Radio Shack audio cable before buying anything more pricy. These are black color cables with gold plated RCA connectors. They are very cheap and sound quite ... | |
| Smoking from my amp? Your friend was absolutely right. Don't turn it back on. Call the manufacturer. | |
| CD signal into a phono stage? You cannot do that. Beside overload problem, phono stage has RIAA equalization which increase the bass and reduce the high frequency. The difference of gains can be as much as 20db on each end comparing to the 1K point. It will not sound right if ... | |
| Here's why amps can be more important than speaker I don't know what the relationships are between the THD and the sound but some of the best SE tube amps I heard have over 3% THD. | |
| Rear Surround Speakers The ideal match will be another pair of Clarity? If you want something cheaper ML Script should be good match also. | |
| Bi-amping w/multi-channel amp... I suggest you split the interconnect at the amp side and save youself an extra interconnect. You can buy a female to 2 males Y-adapter cable from local Radio Shack or from online stores like Audio Advisor. | |
| Thinking about a VK-50SE Pre-amp? Any opinions I have a VK-50SE and I love it. But ARC and BAT sound different. If you like the ARC you might not like the BAT. Buying equipment at this level often decided by personal preference rather than clean cut sonic advantage. I think you should borrow o... |
