| Review: Thiel Audio CS-2 Speaker For a few years now, I've been using a combo of Thiel's successor to your model, the CS2.2, being driven by the 3rd-generation derivative of your old C-J tube amp, the MV-55, with good results, albeit in a samllish room (technically, a little too ... | |
| where to put rack Sean's right, don't expect to find a bass null close to the wall boundry if you have conventional box speakers, even on the side (wasn't an option anyway, I know). If there seems to be no difference in bass energy anywhere within the area of possi... | |
| bad experiences buying on line Get your money back ASAP first of all. Do not let this guy sweet talk you or try to make it seem as if he is still reasonable - he's disrespected you more than enough already for you to completely write him off and take immediate action to protect... | |
| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? I should also add a couple of notes. First, by not keeping the MSB Gold Link, I am passing up the opportunity to move to a DAC that accepts data formats other than Red Book 16/44 CD, such as DVD/DAD audio or DVD video. I don't own any of these now... | |
| What happened to Jonathan Scull? As will I in the final analysis, I'm sure... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? JC - Thanks for the kudos and backup. As I took pains to point out in my new thread, what I wrote wasn't supposed to focus on which of these DAC's 'slayed' the other, although of course for my own purposes this determination was important (and I a... | |
| What is the range of human hearing? I was referring to the more theoretical of the possible mechanisms we're bandying about here, not the real possibility that ultra-sonic linearity might precipitate sonic gains in the audioband, which I don't doubt. :-) | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? Well, history did not repeat itself...see my further thoughts, comments and rants in a new post titled "Upsampling Put To The Test", which they should throw up there today if they don't decide that it's inappropriate! (And bring a bag lunch and ta... | |
| What DAC should I buy? Alright, already...the post goes up today, if they approve it! Look for the title Upsampling Put To The Test...and bring a comfortable chair, it's a long one... :-) | |
| upscaling, bits and resampling ?? Read my test report on forum in a new post titled Upsampling Put To The Test...it should show up there later today. Look when you have some time, it's a long article! :-) | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Anybody interested in reading about the results of my auditioning of my new upsampling DAC against my reference that I referred to above, should be able to see it shortly on the forum in a new post titled Upsampling Put To The Test (hopefully it'l... | |
| In Search of Beatles Rock but not Pop Hey, I like Ravi - and Jimi - as much as the next guy, but I loves me some surf music!! (And Dick Dale could be the bastard son of those two anyway...) | |
| How long can Magnepan speaker last? Hey Jvia - About that last sentence in your post - is that because you'd be less prone to haul off and kick something if you liked it?! :-) | |
| In Search of Beatles Rock but not Pop Good points all - we could obviously go on talking Beatles 'til the walruses come home! I do find it interesting about CW's and Ben's ages, since I was also born in that providential year of 1964 (a little too late, if you're into the stuff I am),... | |
| upscaling, bits and resampling ?? If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the multiple concurrent sampling technique that Marakanetz and Jeff refer to above is actually descriptive of *oversampling*, rather than "upsampling", which has more to do with Jeff's reference to the use of al... |
