| Classics Clarity Vinyl I have four of the 45rpm box sets and all of them were noisy out of the box, after a wash. I washed them thrice more and the Holly Coles are still noisy (I have both). For this kind of money one should get dead quiet vinyl without needing to clean... | |
| Coincidence? If we look at another media industry (movies) we can notice that rather than merely urging us to rebuy past collections, the lot of them really ARE trying to push technology forward. Bigger and better screens to watch on with exceptional integrati... | |
| anyone use ikea for lp racks? Would you mind posting pics of the x-brace if possible?Thanks | |
| 3000.00 grado vs 1800.00 koetsu black Well, I have actually owned both, in fact, I own both now, but the Black needs a retipping.I have the previous version of the Statement (the 2.5k one not the 3k one) and I will say that it actually sounds in the same realm as the Koetsu house soun... | |
| has anyone else heard the wyetech ruby mono block I've heard the 211 Ruby along with the Ruby Preamp. Pretty much the best I've heard. Rumors are that a 300B Ruby is in the works too. If true, that should add quite the flavour to the lineup. A 211 AND a 300B to choose from with the top of the lin... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Thanks so much for your impressions and for the information regarding the Grado carts! I had no idea. Dang, this is going to make for some touch decision making. So the FET is the only option for best results? Not even something as flexible as the... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Thanks for the responses guys. I think I will take your advice and instead of modifying and then buying step ups, I'll just save up and get another phono in the future.My Koetsu has since been laid to rest (I'll retip in the future) and am present... | |
| CD player NOT made in China under $1,000? Trelja, would you mind sharing which company your are refering to? It would be helpful for people who either own or are hoping to own something from this company. | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Are you still closed for new members? I would love to join up once the group is able to expand.Jason | |
| flac, wave, mp4, iPod files???? No problem! Glad I could be of some help. I'm waiting on an iPod upgrade (September is usually when the new ones are released). Rumors are that there will be a 250 GB Classic released, a nice 90 GB more than the current largest unit. I'll pick thi... | |
| flac, wave, mp4, iPod files???? In terms of resolution, FLAC = WAVE = MP4 ALAC (Apple Lossless).Wave is rather useless on an iPod. It is full size and can't support meta data without a lot of effort. FLAC is a free lossless audio codec. It's free, so people love it! No lock in. ... | |
| Alternate tubes for Shanling T200 Bendix Redbank 6385 are an excellent substitution. | |
| Convert Flac to Wav - how to & HD space need? There is no difference. One can easily find this by examining the WAV files via their spectrums. There are plenty of software packages for this. In the end, so long as the compression algorithm is doing its job, there is absolutely NO difference. ... | |
| Apple Lossless Encoder - Audiophile Quality? Rdc2000, when you indicate you converted your AAC files to ALAC, did you rerip your CDs? Or did you literally convert the AACs to ALAC? If you did the latter, you don't have lossless, you have blowup lossy files in a lossless format.Hopefully, whe... | |
| The Kids Are Alright I wrote it late last night and I was tired when I posted. I definitely didn't edit and I could have thinned it out in some places and made other spots much clearer. Hopefully no one took offense to anything I wrote. The line about the pensions was... |
