| Analog invites you to turn up the volume I think what @ghdprentice is driving at--and I agree-- is that what you are noticing is not universally true for everyone who has both digital and analog front ends. I, for example, do not find myself generally playing one louder than the other. I... | |
| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz I had a similar issue (12 dB @30 Hz), and was able to work with Music City Accoustics to get some wall-mounted tuned bass traps. I tried to work with GIK on this issue, but I found them to be inflexible and uninterested in addressing this targeted... | |
| Great Interview- One of Beato's videos was about why he was going to release his next album only as 320 kbs mp3, since you can't hear the difference between that and any higher resolution. And if you've ever been to a Bonnamassa concert, the sound quality is as... | |
| Aurender Conductor V4 and Qobuz phone app don't match The Qobuz App lists all playlists under "My Playlists." The Auender Conductor app has two tabs: "My Playlists," (the ones you created) and "favorites." It then adds "My weekly Q" to "My Playlistss," and I have no idea where (if anywhere) that is ... | |
| PS Audio Power regenerator I spoke to Paul McGowan about this exact question last year at AXPONA, and he said there was no benefit to keeping power "reserve" on the regenerators. That is, the performance is the same for a 900 watt laod as for a 200 watt load. I have about ... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio This thread seems to have gravitated toward Youtube channels rather than dealers/manufacturers, but let me throw J.R. Bosclair (WallyTools) into the list. He's a great example of the kind of people who make this hobby enjoyable. | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated I just picked up a Jadis DA50S. 30 Watts pure class A. I would have never believed an amp in the $10k range could perform this well until I heard this thing in my home. FWIW I am currently auditioning the Lamizator Poseidon with it. Fantastic ... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Isn't this the problem that DoP solves? | |
| ARC amp differences. Let me re-emphasize that the slam against ARC service is way off the mark. I have an older ARC amp and preamp. The service is so responsive and reasonably priced that I don't re-tube and re-bias the amp myself. I just have them do it. They are gre... | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... @wallytools Thank you for the post, J.R. My original submission was not intended to suggest anything deficient with the WallyScope itself or your support -- which you are correct, I did not take advantage of. It was more of a comment of the repe... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming On your original question...I have run this experiment many times. I find that that if I can get my hands on an undamaged copy of the album on vinyl, it never sounds worse than the digital stream. This is usually true even if the album was origi... | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... Lesson learned. Weird that I needed it. Hey anyone want a gently used WallyScope? Lol. | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... I can't claim to have either a S.O.T.A. table or cart, but VTA changes, even small ones, are easy to discern audibly. | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... Cards! Perfect idea. I'm not sure I understand "heel down" and "toe down" but I'll do some searching... | |
| Audio technica AT6006R tonearm lifter Yeah I would put a little blop of silicone on the outer edge of that lifter to act as a stop. |
