AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
Jeffreybowman2k, I am not the expert but I dont think there is a 320VBR. If you are using the newest version of LAME 3.97, then the highest VBR setting you can use is -V 0 which will give you an average bitrate of around 256. What quality switch a... 
Hum/Buz fro JC1
houstonreef, I had the same exact strange behavior with my A21/P3 setup. I could never figure out what the issue was. I know this does not help but I eventually got rid of my Halo gear. I wonder if this is some sort of design issue with the Halo p... 
How high is your soundstage?
Thanks to everyone for all of your great responses. I will see what I can do about moving the speakers out of the nook so that they have the full width of the room to breathe. I will also try some heavy blankets behind and to the sides of the spea... 
How high is your soundstage?
Boa2, we are adding a loft soon which I hope will help. the loft will be quite large (15' x 20') with floating floors. I will be able to put my speakers as far from the front wall as I would like. The room they are in right now is actually pretty ... 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
portugal11, i actually use the Sonos wireless music system. It has a digital out that I then send into my Cary 306.For encoding, I use EAC using LAME encoder. I never tested other formats like AAC, OGG, etc. 
AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3
Only you can tell but when I tried all the different formats I found mp3 encoded at VBR 256 offered the best compromise between quality and space. In fact, my entire 40K song library is encoded in this format. In my system, and through the interna... 
Hum/Buz fro JC1
houstonreef, while I do not have the JC1, I did own the A21 and also had issues with the humm/buzzz. I found that the amp was very sensitive to how well the interconnect was seated. Only a slight mis-seat would cause a buzzz. Try wiggling the inte... 
Speaker disappearing act?
Launche, yes my friends have noticed that while the sound is great, the soundstage seems low and not very deep. In amost every system I have heard, the soundstage is a few feet above the speakers. The only other think I can think about is that my ... 
power cords for Pass Labs Amps
Thanks for the respone everyone. Audiofeil, no I do not believe Pass is being untruthful but I also believe they have not heard every possible combination of pcs with their products, that is why I wanted to this forums opinion. Also but please exc... 
Speaker disappearing act?
Shadorne, my friend has the Avalon Ceramique speakers, smaller but no necessarily small speakers. I am convinced it is my room. 
Speaker disappearing act?
launche, thanks for the reply. I totally agree with you its my room. I just dont know what else I can do. I have fiddled with speaeker and seating position. Nothing seems to help my soundstage height issue. The one thing I want to try is some abso... 
Speaker disappearing act?
Interesting question as I am struggling with this very issue my setup. For me, diasappearing means that I do not hear anything directly from the speakers. In my friend's setup, the soundstage is taller than his speakers. Because of this, I am able... 
Review: Usher BE-10 Speaker
Ozzy, I can say that I am 100% happy with the Ushers. Not do they look fantastic, but they also sound incredible. I am aboslutely sold on the beryllium technology. The sound is clean, uncolored, dynamic. To get similar performance you would have t... 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
Jim s. I still religously follow bike racing, mostly World Superbike and MotoGP. I dont really like following AMA that much for some reason (probably because a lot of the tracks look horrible and dangerous). I want to like Nicky Hayden but I cant ...
