| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Fm stations purposely compress signal so they don't overmodulate and interfere with adjoining stations. All likely do it to some extent. I know some college and classical stations are at lower end of fm frequency spectrum, sometimes they can compr... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. Stuartk +1Nostalgia certainly enters picture, I romanticized 60's thru early 70's music into 80's, thought contemporary music crap in comparison. Finally found some local FM stations playing more adventurous contemporary music, turned me on to new... | |

| forte 3 crossover build Inductors in GR Research look nice, I'd put better capacitors on that board, sonic caps can be bettered, also mount outside speaker. | |
| forte 3 crossover build So, GR Research will supply you the parts and schematic, all you have to do is wire it up? If true, you only need to develop soldering skills. Don't you also have Crites and ALK Engineering to choose from?I purchased Crites crossover for my Klipsc... | |
| Is your now then? Newfound best friend had Dynaco quad system setup with Linn LP12. No other system I'd heard prior had that sense of realism. I tried to replicate that sound for years with various systems, no dice. Finally figured out I was trying to recreate that... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! I quit using audio stores years ago, seemed less useful as I became more knowledgeable. Brands I'm interested in not available, I'm into SET and high efficiency speakers, not too many dealers into this. Easy availability of buying and selling used... | |
