| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Edesilva, you might be interested in the last post on this thread on hydrogenaudio regarding the -alt presets. By the way, Dibrom is the author of those presets.http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?showtopic=3155&st=0&& | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? I disagree on a few points. First, read this article here:http://www.geocities.com/altbinariessoundsmusicclassical/mp3test.htmlRealize that 1.) To claim that your hearing is superior to some of these folks, while certainly possible, is unlikely. A... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Edesilva, the reason why I'm advocating mp3s over wavs is because of the buffer size and battery life of the ipod. I have one, I've tried it and, unless you want to use it for more than one trip around the block, it will not work. For better or wo... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? I second the VBR mp3 file suggestion using EAC. In addition, as I've mentioned elsewhere, with the ipod, storage isn't your main concern, battery life is. The ipod has only a 16 or 32mb buffer (I think it's 16 though). With uncompressed wav files ... | |
| thoughts on frank zappa From www.theonion.com This pretty much sums up just about every Zappa fan(atic) I've ever run into:Frank Zappa Fan Thinks You Just Haven't Heard The Right AlbumNEDERLAND, CO—In spite of your insistence that you are not into Frank Zappa, avid fan R... | |
| beware ipod Ntscdan, before dismissing current portable music players altogether, seriously try out the method of encoding mp3's that I mentioned. I cannot tell the difference on my ipod with any headphone I have tried to date. I cannot tell the difference in... | |
| beware ipod I'm on my 3rd 30GB ipod. This one's working well though. When they work they're great, when they don't... Sounds like you're using USB 1.1 if it's taking you that long to load music onto your ipod. Get a USB 2 card or FireWire and your life will g... | |
| It's 2008 A $50,000 adamantine power cord. It comes complete with an 8lb solid aluminum remote control that has buttons labeled, "inner detail", "resolving power" and "noise floor". These buttons do nothing because the remote is completely solid, but report... | |
| Apple Ipod This issue with a HD based player isn't skipping, but longevity. If you had a computer for any longer than 3 or 4 years you probably know about dying hard drives--and that was in a stationary desk top or limited movement laptop. HDs are incredibly... | |
| is there any multi-chnnel power amps that can... EAD Powermaster amps for one. PM 2000 produces 400 watts all channels driven into 8 ohms and 1000 watts per channel in stereo. | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... I see a total abandonment of logic in this thread.Sean, your contention is that new gear is getting worse. For the sake of argument, lets say that it is (and for what its worth, I would probably be inclined to agree with this statement). Why is ... | |
| Amp/Speaker selection help. Ok, I'm diving back in. While I agree that 5.1 for movies is vastly superior to 2 channel, I would advise doing it in a stepwise fashion, or, at the very least, don't let the two channel audio get pushed to the backburner by getting some boxed rea... | |
| Amp/Speaker selection help. Just a general suggestion regarding your decision to go with monitors--I would strongly consider floor standers. You will still need a base for the monitors and there are plenty of floorstanders that will give you far better sound (especially for ... | |
| Subwoofer to match Vienna Acoustics Bach I'm currently running a REL Storm III with my Bachs. Of course, your experience may vary, but in my opinion there was a huge difference between the Strata and the Storm. I would suggest waiting for a good deal on a Storm III--really an excellent m... | |
| REL sub setup I'm not sure because it's not in front of me, but I think there's a knob with numbers 1-4. In the manual it says they are high pass 0 phase, high pass 180 phase, low pass 0 phase and low pass 180 phase. At least this is what I think it is. I have ... |
