| improving digital amp sound Doesn't the EVO2 use a switching-mode power supply? IME power supply is even more critical for switching-type amps than conventional A/AB/B amps. That's why the Rowland 3.. series amp is much more expensive than the other ones.I myself am using a ... | |
| hifi audio in movies Deviating to TV: in 'Friends' reruns, once saw a glimpse of Martin-Login Prodigies or B&W 803's in Joey & Chandler's apt.The original version of the Departed, Infernal Affairs, had the main characters, Ming (=Sullivan in Departed) & Ya... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Another thing: analog cannot be said as infinite sampling, there is no sampling in the analog process, it is more like carbon-copying.I submit human being being basically digital, our resolution to perceive is also limited, at some point, the disc... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Ncarv, from the basic DNA level, I guess it could be argued that human being (and all living being) is basically digital - yet not binary - constructed from extremely long sequences of genetic code. I think time and spectrums (frequency, color) ar... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" Is it possible that the Audiodesksysteme treatment improves the timing of the digital raw data, i.e. the jitter becomes less if treated CD's are played?For the owners of this device and PC w/ digital out & DAC, may I suggest an experiment: rip... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Teajay, thanks for the review. I currently use the X250.5. Hopefully when finances allow, I'll follow your path to the XA's! The 250.5 was mind-bogglingly good compared to my previous amps. Nelson Pass is a genius indeed. | |
| How is a piano recorded? Thanks Beavis. I'll take a look.I was standing about 6-8 ft away from the piano, and it certainly sounded as a monolithic unit, no 'L to R piano soundstaging' as in many recordings. BTW, it sounded great! | |
| CDP build quality Get an SB3 & DAC like Benchmark DAC 1. Or if you're lucky you could get ARC's DAC when it rarely appears. The convenience of browsing thru your music db from your listening position using SB3's remote is unbeatable. | |
| Help Me Find This Song: Christy/Christie? Albert, I don't remember if it was used in a film at all, it was like 20 years ago. Jax2, my humming would be so bad and out of tune. :)However, I got a friend who's like this walking catalogue of all things rock, and he looked it up for me and fo... | |
| Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ??? How about the room itself? Is your room acoustically 'glaring' and 'reflective'? Maybe experimenting with room treatment first? | |
| Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction MFSL I don't have AfD, but both Use Your Illusion I & II, and they are substantial improvements over the original.If anything, get it for its collectible value. It's getting rare and get yourself one while still available. I spent considerable amou... | |
| Need advice on Budget CD player for this system... There's a Rotel 991 on sale now at A'Gon. IMHO it's a very good player for the money.Disclaimer: I am not a dealer of Rotel, and not affiliated w/ the seller in any way, shape, or form. :) | |
| Best speakers of the group? Your opinions please Check out Usher's speakers, the bigger Dancer line, esp w/ the new Beryllium tweets. I have an older pair (w/ ceramic mids and tweets) and they're awesome, for much less money. | |
| Accepting International Payments Just Got Harder.. Man, that sucks!Think I will stay with wire transfer... Thanks for the heads-up. | |
| Just moved - sound destroyed Just a suggestion, maybe good, maybe not:Try positioning the speakers parallel to the diagonal of the room, so that when you draw a direct line from L spkr to R spkr, the middle of that direct line intersects w/ its perpendicular line drawn from t... |
