| PC Rules There are A/D converters and software for transferring lps to computers and servers and I'm sure there will be more and better ones as time goes on. I think that one day most audiophiles will think that digital (not cd) sounds better than vinyl. D... | |
| 16/44 FLAC downloads for new & popular titles Here are a few I got from a similar thread. I'm not sure they are all still active.highdeftapetransfers.comhdtracks.commusicgiants.comitrax.comchandos.netlinnrecords.comgimell.commagnatune.com | |
| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? Mcrosier, Jock-A Mo is the original recorded in 1953 by James "Sugarboy" Crawford. He also gets credit for writing the song along with three women. He claims he never has received a royalty payment for it. Since it was released on the Chess label ... | |
| Tom Russell Anyone? Tom started out recording with a band, The Tom Russell Band, by coincidence; and they put out some great albums. "Poor Man's Dream" and "Road to Bayamon" are probably my favorites but they are all good. Same great songwriting but with a killer band. | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? I have to defend the Stones. Yeah they've been coasting since the early 70s and really need to hang it up before they become complete embarassments. However, very few rock bands have put out a string of 4 albums equal to Beggar's Banquet through E... | |
| Keeping up on new releases, reissues, etc. Pandora Radio is a source for new music, although a slow one. You can tailor the music you hear by clicking on like or dislike buttons as a tune plays. Over time you will hear artists you haven't heard before whose music is similar to music you al... | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? High res digital has a few different word lengths and sampling rates. Cd is 16/44.1. High res can be 24/88.2, 24/176.4, 24/96, 24/192.You need a DAC that can convert the different word length/sample rates to analog. There are many DACs available t... | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame A Rock n Roll Hall of Fame seems like a stupid idea to me and when you consider some of the people they have inducted I think its a badge of honor that the Moodies aren't in.By chance I came across a December 2003 Rolling Stone that featured "The ... | |
| Collecting software and other goodies? Limited edition items can appreciate in value significantly when they go out of print. The problem is they can drop in value even faster when a better sounding remastered or expanded version comes out. Investing in collectibles of any kind is tric... | |
| Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic? I wish Stereophile would do more to attract a new demographic. The last time I checked they had about 80,000 subscribers. That is not enough audiophiles to support healthy audiophile hardware and software industries. I find it sad that there is so... | |
| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server 2chnlben,Would you describe the components of your server system and how difficult or easy it was to get them to work together? When I check in over at the PS Audio forums there seem to be a lot of people having trouble getting their systems to wo... | |
| Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8 I like Dalis. I think they add the touch of warmth or richness that might go well with the Sim gear. What type of sound are you hoping to get? | |
| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server The PWD is not a server it's just a DAC. You would need to buy a data storage unit and a controller to have a server system.A laptop computer with the appropriate software program plugged into the PWD could serve both functions. A Music Vault (do ... | |
| Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7 I don't know why this isn't getting responses but you could do a search for reputable tube dealers and then discuss what kind of sound you're looking for with one of them. They have the experience to help determine which tube might work best for you. | |
| Music Vault Diamond vs PS audio PWD/PWT The PWT/PWD combo is a fine player but you would still need a storage unit (computer, Nas, Music Vault, etc.) to make a server system. So you would probably be better off keeping your current DAC and getting a Music Vault or other server and see h... |
