| Hi dear friends I need your help please Wow, that is a good question!!! I think you will need more than a translation software service since in music the syllables correlate to the time signature of the music. In addition, literal translation never seems to work right and the sylla... | |
| Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2 Yes, the Node 2 or 2i will communicate with each other but I have found only if they are connected via an Ethernet cable. They do sport WiFi interfaces but their WiFi interface leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't take much for it to bomb - ... | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? Further thoughts ... Use spikes and when you need to roll them, "walk them" one corner at a time onto a mobile platform to roll. | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? I would use spikes if you have carpet and when you do want to move them, you can "walk them" by picking up three corners and pivoting around the fourth corner. 80 lbs is about what my speakers weigh and that works perfectly fine for me. The th... | |
| Terminal Blocks for Speaker Wire "Splitting"? You won't have an inductance problem but perhaps a capacitance one. The jumpers are usually flat metal, such as nickel plated copper, that is wide and short. It has very little inductance and very little resistance. If you torque it properly,... | |
| Transformers Oops, you are right, I should have looked closer, the shipping is $6! | |
| Magnum Dynalab FT-101A That is even more interesting! An analog design problem from Dynalab! | |
| Micro Seiki RX-1500 Gasket This response to the thread is a bit late as I have gone through a lot of gaskets since I wrote the above response in February last year. I eventually found that two gaskets at Home Depot work pretty well. Not perfect but pretty well. ... | |
| Amazon HD streaming service ... Very interesting comments, thank-you all. Think I will stick with Spotify for now. Spotify Premium runs AAC, which they claim has a 320 kbps rate. Amazon claims true high def at a 12,738 kbps rate. So, 856 kbps is far below the 12k but hig... | |
| Magnum Dynalab FT-101A That is a very interesting observation indeed. It is possible the op amp circuit has some issues, though. | |
| Transformers I have only used inline balun transformers for RF work, not for audio work. I assume you are converting XLR balanced to RCA single ended? Since the impedances are high, it should work okay without too much hassle and, for 6$, why not find out ... | |
| VPI 16.5 record cleaner versus a Pro-Ject VC-S2 ALU Actually, in that price range, I'd skip the vacuum and move directly to ultra sonic cleaners! It is only a bit more $. :-) | |
| Terminal Blocks for Speaker Wire "Splitting"? We use those larger terminals here at work and pump 5 to 8KW though them 24/7/365. The smaller terminals you listed will be fine for speakers and the nice thing about these terminal blocks is you can torque the screws down. That is a biggie for... | |
| Schiit Asgard2 I am not using the Asgard 2 but I do have the Schitt Mani and I am pretty impressed with it, given its low cost. I used to design preamps back when I was in the HiFi industry, so preamps are special to me. Still, I was impressed with it. Hope... | |
| Can a dac really be future proof? Really future proof? As in SW only upgrades without a hardware upgrade? I don't see how future proof is possible in that light. SW upgrades will keep obsolescence at bay but Hardware moves on every year. So you spring big bucks for a 24 bit,... |
