| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? I don't think you'll find anyone emulating the materials or manufacturing practices of Telefunken today. Totally different eras. Today's manufacturers use computers, modern materials and manufacturing techniques to optimize the sound of their tube... | |

| The future of Hi-Rez is groovy I don't want to spoil the fun, but vinyl does not have infinite resolution. | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? Yes I can hear the difference. A well recorded and mastered SACD sounds better than a well recorded and mastered cd. I hear more depth to the soundstage and a sense of ease or flow with SACDs, for instance. There are cds that sound better than poo... | |
| cd-r music for blanks One more thing Bianchi, Keep your cd-rs out of the light. Not just direct sunlight but even ambient light in your home. Exposure to light will render your cd-rs unplayable over time.Bags Unlimited has all the music storage items you will ever need... | |
| cd-r music for blanks I have used and read about other's experience with cd-rs pretty extensively. My opinion and what my reading on the topic tells me is that MAM-A and Taiyo Yuden made in Japan (ask before you order and the wrapping will say Made In Japan) are top qu... | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Tbg, I think most of us think or at least hope that DSD downloads along with user friendly servers will be a worthwhile upgrade. We have a problem with the low number of titles available, the fact that we've already been sold most of them a couple... | |

| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Sony especially needs to show a big and continued commitment to the format after what they did with Sacd and other formats like Dat. They have to prove to us that they're committed to making the format a success. We don't owe it to them to buy alb... | |
| Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit So, how hard is it to properly dither a digital component? Does anyone know which manufacturers properly dither their digital components and which don't? | |
| Tubes at idle Also, turn your tube components off if you're not going to be around. Tube malfunction can cause a lot of damage. | |
