| High quality CDs @rman9 Yes, they are compatible with all CDP. Good luck. | |
| High quality CDs @rman9 What you are looking for is called XRCD (Extended Resolution Compact Disc). They are much more expensive than a regular CD ($30 or more). You can buy them anywhere online. Elusivedisc.com is a good place to start. For what it’s worth, the... | |
| List some of the worst-sounding CDs you've heard, lately @tweak1 Not in that cd I mentioned above. No sir, that CD was beyond redeeming. The better the system, the worst it sounded. I kid you not. | |
| Return of The Mac? Your problem doesn’t seem to be a hardware issue. Check your audio settings line by line. Something is set up to switch automatically with the programming input. I am not familiar with your particular processor so I can’t tell you exactly where to... | |
| List some of the worst-sounding CDs you've heard, lately Your CD would be considered HI-RES compared to a Louis Armstrong CD I had: best of Louis Armstrong. It was so bad I threw it away in disgust . I bet Satchmo rolled in his grave ever time someone played that CD. | |
| Power Conditioning - How Important for Digital and Analog Source Components vs Amp? @nyev I see what you mean by all dirtiness being equal: in your particular situation; it’s hard to know. If it is fairly clean, you won’t need much to get you over the humps. At any rate the AQ 1200 is as good a place to start as any. The reviews... | |

| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. @bigfatpaulie By now it should be obvious why I couldn’t be very specific in my advice. It can get very confusing very fast. Seeing your entire kitchen, I understand why the lady of the house might not want you to transform it into a recording st... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. @bigfatpaulie Very nice write up. You gave all the information that one would need to advise you, yet I am not sure where to start. Seeing your picture of the room tells me that your most pressing problem might not be which brand of speaker to bu... | |
| A slant on RFI @helmholtzsoul Funniest post of the week 😁 @bobby1945 How would you qualify that phone call? Was it funny, sad, stressful, good news, work related? | |
| I am so happy..... @cakyol Very cheap system: B & W speakers, $1200 server…In some parts of the world, this would be considered extravagant luxury. But as long as you are happy, life’s short 😀 | |
| Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help @crandell25 I mostly stream tidal so I don't necessarily need to pay extra for CD ripping or file storage capabilities Thus no need for a server. The addition of a server will have no positive effect on sound quality. Swapping THIS server ... | |
| Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlets I would think that all hospital grade outlets are. | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets It would make a lot of sense for someone to start investing in a dedicated power line before even considering expensive power cords. Vince Galbo of MSB Technology has it right: ”The single biggest goal in improving audio is to install heavier gau... |
