| amp suggestions for Aerial 7b Good suggestions here. I currently have several pairs of Aerials including the 7Bs. I've tried a lot of amps on them. Some made 10% of the CDs sound phenomenal while raking the others over the coals while others made 90% of them sound average but ... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction I suggest keep buying stuff. You'll know you've got it right when you're not thinking about your system and listening to the music. | |
| Cary 120s...anyone heard this amp They are good for the price you can get them for. Powerful yet tubey. There are several authorized dealers who let them go new well below msrp. Cary knows this and lets their best dealers cut great deals. | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? So Coffee, let me get this straight, you "spent thousands on [the Beatles rereleases] uk mono press lps" and you're castigating me for being an apologist for the new mono remasters? Not to mention you've decided to stop addressing any content and ... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Approval doesn't necessarily mean they prefer them to the Mono versions. I'm sure they're being told the recordings need to be louder, punchier to compete with "modern" recordings (and to sell better to that target group). What do they know at the... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? I think this quote from the Pitchfork article pretty much says it all. I mean is anyone really gonna sit there and say someone else's version of the album is better than the artists'? By that logic why don't we have someone update and rewrite the ... | |
| MP3 conversion rate suggestions Check out mediacoder audio edition. Free. Transcodes straight from flac to mp3. Very easy to use. It's so easy to use that you can basically decide spur of the moment what you want to convert, do it quickly, and put the mp3s whereever you need the... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? I didn't say mono passed me, and in fact watched and remember the moon landing. But when I started buying albums heavily in the 70s, which included the Beatles collection, most of them were stereo. I seem to recall that Revolver and everything aft... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Alpass, funny you should mention that. While listening to monos and stereos back-to-back, I could hear the difference but equally importantly I could also *feel* the difference. It's a familiar but uncomfortable physical reaction I recognize from ... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? I've listened to a couple of the monos today. Much better. Can't figure out what people are thinking when they like the stereo versions better. Even my 4 and 8 year old said they like the mono better and I wasn't quizzing them about it either. My ... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? I'm curious, how is it that there are mono versions? I know their early stuff was mono but was there ever a commercially released mono version of, say, Sgt Peppers or is it something that was done for the remasters? I mean you can't go out and buy... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? I got several of the stereo remixes today. Listened to part of Sgt Peppers. I was a bit put off actually and suprisingly so after the review I'd read saying how good they were. It's the same ole stuff - added treble emphasis, compression. I just d... | |
| Just me or do speakers in cell phones sound harsh? Cell phone audio is done completely different than what you might think. It's not just the little speaker. The audio is limited to 4 kHz and the voice or sounds you hear are not even digitally sampled A/D/A conversions. What you hear is sound synt... | |
| DACs with volume control ? Transporter works on the XLRs as well. | |
| DACs with volume control ? Slim Devices Transporter. No pre. Straight into amp. I've tried pre's and they add a flavor to the sound and not a bad one but I prefer the simplicity of 3 components - DAC, Amp, Speakers. |
