speaking for myself of course I am not in agreement with that. I have hundreds of records and the one mentioned seemed the outstanding example. May that be as it is, and getting back to your cooking and apples, the one example mentioned is one VERY s...

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is very good beginning. W...

Romy, thank you for the very useful info. You have given me hope! When I contacted CEC in Japan a year or two ago asking to let me buy replacement lasers (as many as I could) they said no (they did say they will repair the unit if it ever fails - if ...

[quote user="jtavan"]It looks like you're looking at the right brands for ADC. It seems likely to me that getting proper A/D conversion is as hard as or harder than getting proper D/A conversion. I'm currently shopping for a good A/D converter for a ...

I am not surprised this kind of bizarre affirmation coming from a guy whom aim to live of royalties from copyrighted material.WAV or WAVE (aka Audio for Windows) is owned by Microsoft and IBM, and AIFF is owned by Apple Inc.I do not know the current ...

The initials post was the body of email that Kostas sent to me and considering it’s format he presumed that I will me post it on my site. So, I did it (with his permission). I ran all those tracks once (some of them just a few seconds) and below is v...

Yes, it is a different link but I am sure what it is. They claim it as audio transport but they claim an optional CD hardware and software. What does it mean “optional”. If it is a regular DAW machine then it is fine, there are plenty of them out the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It was exactly what I was experimenting for many times since 2005 and I came to exactly opposite finding. I am not able to make neither LP, tape or CD to copy in digital that would sound like original source. I am able to ...

I am sorry Bob, I do not understand it. What DVD-A has to with anything. You can’t burn “DVD-A without allowing the DVD-A creation programs to alter its audio contents”. You can copy the WAW file to DVD but as soon you use DVD-A format then the file ...

[quote user="David"]I think for a start there are so many different ways of getting a sound that is acceptable to the listener it pays not to be too dogmatic.I am in the early days of developing my system with speakers from 4 different manufacturers ...

I also like the convenience of playback via computer with ripped files. Theoretically, at least, and in my experience, if the cd is ripped properly, the sound quality is better than a cd player. The reason I think so is that no cd pl...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Lx, this is very interesting. At the initial picture I posted you do can clearly see the difference in dynamic range. When I did what you did and went to higher resolution then you are right - the difference disappears. Dos...

....and particularly for us - the software freaks, for whom the word “Dim” has an "added value"…. Sure I will keep informing how it goes…
The Scan-Speak’s SD-1 “smartly overhang” motors are very interesting and if your 18W is made around the S...

[quote user="joaco"] Romy ; One question for you ; Does the pure power unit raise its temperature (gets hot) when youre using it ? or is it always cold ? I do not know what kind of IC they are using but I suspect they are "new generation ones??" I wa...

Hi Jorge.Firstly, be very careful if you're thinking about feeding a PP with a balanced AC input. It may be different with the North American PP units, but my UK unit did not like being fed by a balanced AC input. My balanced transformers already ten...

A bit side topic but someone made a comparation with car market but I think the best comparation would be more specificaly with sports/supercars. Indeed I feel those are the same type of clients.People pay high prices for:Ferraris: very well know to ...

[quote user="Max Shatsky"] You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software? Thats interesting!!! [/quote]
Well, tell me dive you data and you make your own concussions. I read CDs...

Here we go. One more person got hooked on FM and “get” where the real high-end lives… If you live in Chicago then try to develop some connections and get assess to folks who have WFMT-FM sound-check tapes form the WFMT’ past. 20-35 years ago WFMT-FM ...

Hm, I did not know that they spited the file on two halfs. I presume that it was their “catch”. Immediately uninstall the software they made you to download and run the intrusion detection procedures on your PC.

You can try: https://www.ap-linux.com/ instead. I think there is not anything special on Voyager, it is just tweaked to use very little space what is not a problem on that board. You can easily find a CompactFlash card with 64GB, what is a lot more m...

Yes Romy, this is exactly my finding. Take an a to d transfer, vinyl rip, if you will, and listen to it on the computer via usb to dac. Then, take the same, preferably wav file, transfer it to disc and listen on cd transport. My experience is fil...

I recently had a visit by a close friend, who is an accomplished modern jazz saxophonist but a recording/mixing engineer, running his own small studio. We listened to some bass-heavy material on my Dannoys, the bass was acoustic - piano and drums. Da...

As a new concert season is coming up with BSO opening night next week I was sprucing up my recording studio. The machine is 3MHz with 2G memory – plenty run SoundLab5. The SoundLab just record and play, I do absolutely nothing else in this software, ...

Hi Romy and Company:
My CD player has seen better days so I did some research and though you might be interested in my experience with the "Music server" concept. Punchline: fun, sounds great and is very convenient!

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...
