| Job of Producer versus Recording Engineer It's simpler to say what an engineer does: this is a person who is responsible for implementing the technical aspects of the recording, mixing, and mastering processes. Engineers physically run the recording/mixing/mastering studios. By default an... | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? Thanks Pawlowski for answering my question. I admit I can't advise you because I can't understand you. So carry on reading, being "hands-on", and trying new things (buying and selling music you don't like, buying and selling gear that you do). I w... | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Atmasphere wrote:"There is a bit of a strawman going on in your post though, as I was commenting on the fact that audiophiles often interpret brightness as detail (although they don't always like it, thus the term 'clinical')."Strawman? I must beg... | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Nsgarch: I own vdH The First Ultimate and The First Metal Screen coaxial IC's. Metal-free TFU uses a carbon fiber screen/return, which far from being especially immune to EMI/RFI, is actually not recommended for use in situations where hum is like... | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Nsgarch: High quality coaxial analog interconnects, if not prevalent, are indeed made, by van den Hul for instance (which I happen to own)...there are others... | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Yes, the story is that Keith Relf died from electrocution while playing his electric guitar at home. A common version has him playing it in the bathtub, but his family has said this is a myth and he was found dead in his basement recording studio.... | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? Agree one thousand percent with Onhwy61. Pawlowski, are you mainly an audiophile, or a music lover? 'Cause without a CDP and without a phonostage, you don't figure to be listening to much music in glorious sound, digital or otherwise, for a while ... | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Atmasphere: Mr. Karsten, I wish I could believe your explanation were the whole story, but to me that's the first post of yours I've seen that just sounds too pat and self-serving. I like and own both tube and solid-state gear, so I have no specia... | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? "To my eyes, the guys of any ss amp/pre are disgusting looking. Really gross."Well Bartokfan, you've absolutely got me there. But how can you even see me through the keyboard like that? Amazing... | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Bartokfan...no, I'm not even gonna say anything...Machman20000: You could make the argument that, since a tube preamp will always have a higher noise floor and a longer rise-time (slower slew rate) than a SS preamp, that tube pre's (or amps in gen... | |
| Where are the full-function preamps? Mark Levinson also offers a full-funcion option in their current models. And Porziob has it exactly wrong, except of course by his own agenda. No bottom-line incentive? Yeah, that explains the probably hundreds of firms catering to this market. Vi... | |

| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod Agree with Audphile1 about the 'percentage improvement' judgement, subjective as that assessment may be. A/B-ing the DNA-125 directly against the DNA-500 (both stock) makes the 125 sound quite a bit less accomplished for the comparison than it act... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? "Please, leave the political musings for elsewhere. Most consider it bad manors."Maybe most consider it bad manners (not me, but I'm notoriously uncouth), however only those still waiting for the Republicans to fully repeal the estate tax consider... | |
