| Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there? Maybe its a cue file that you are looking at? Although, you have been using it for years and I'm sure you know better.Sometimes iTunes seems like it has a mind of its own and sometimes does weird things. At least for me, anyway.

| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "02-25-15: PtssAlso. I don't dispute That the recording process isn't often flawed; but I find the majority of classical and jazz very good. The people doing the recordings are serious about doing a good job."Sorry if I wasn't clear. I didn't mean... | |

| How to open Clearaudio preamp case? Try pulling the knobs off first. If it still won't go, remove all of the screws on the rear plate that hold things like the xlr jacks, and anything else. All of them. Then unscrew the phono ground. And finally, unscrew the nuts that hold the rca j... | |
| Muffled voice in the back of stage? "For instance, when I was watching Master and Commander this week, and after the opening scene the crew is speaking to each other on the deck, the camera and mic taking different angles throughout the conversation, from most angles every voice is ... | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? "02-18-15: Johnnyb53The TAD 150 Signature's phono stage is made for high output cartridges. The OP's Lyra Clavis puts out a low 0.25mV."That should be what's wrong. If you're using a low output cartridge with a low output phono stage, the system s... | |
| too much acoustic treatment suck mids, shrill highs I have some experience with this type of problem. You have to be really careful when dealing with HF's, because there's a good chance that its not the room. "The music sounds more natural in the next room"That's almost always the case, regardless ... | |

| Agree or disagree with the following statement. "02-24-15: Rodman99999Zd542- GEE, no kidding? That's why I asked what I did!

| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "2)I disagree with the notion of a 50/50 split, because I believe that for most recordings neither setting can be thought of as being correct."Just to clarify that, the 50/50 split seems to be the established mainstream opinion. Personally, I can'... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "02-24-15: AtmasphereWe've had a polarity switch on our preamps since 1989. Its only audible if the recording uses a minimalist microphone technique, like two mics to record everything."It took me years to finally hear that. Everyone always said t... | |
| Tube preamp between Oppo 105 and Meridian G57 amp I'm not a big Meridian fan, but they do make good theater preamps. I used to have one. I think it was an 861, and don't think there would be a need to get something better for theater. The best solution would probably be to get a good 2 channel pr... |
