Trying to gather and get my thoughts in order, in order to share them, I just remembered a recent mod that John Wright happened to mention specifically. While I believe John regards - and guards - as proprietary his ideas for reworking this gear, I a...

Here is an excellent article in Positive Feedback by Dave Clark about the current options in the fields of Computer Audio

Dave interviewed 13 designers with surprisingly reasonable questions. I ...

If i am not mistaken It seems Most High Power UPS in the market like APC or ABB are not good for high dynamic loads (high crest factor like Music signal) and the load transient response of these UPS is not very good at rated power. APC , ABB and ... ...

[quote user="Paul S"]I have also been thinking of subbing electrolytics for the huge - up to 100 uF - caps in my speaker level crossovers, just to hear it for myself. Although everyone says to use polys in the signal path, etc., I just wonder a...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad. So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work, and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound. Which is always good to know be...

I hooked up that old organ yesterday and listened to some stuff i remember listening to through it before. Before i get any further it's the only thing with tube amplification in the house, pp6v6 ~6w, driver is 12" Rola. My observation was that it wa...

Anthony , having a room slightly bigger than your and
the rest the same I feel that 3V I get from my frond end is just barely enough.
I have some CD recordings that are have very low compression and recorded with
wide dynamic range (Pop Music’s Go...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The servers generate noise at more or less constant amplitude and spectra. So, why do not read the noise and inject into the space with servers a contra- noise at opposite phase? This sort of active noise cancelation system...

Antonio,
Reading your comments, I would like to ask if you did not possibly confuse the names of the two files, assiciating your comments to the other file in each case? (I just checked to make sure that I did not make this same mistake, as it wou...

A special thanks to Romy for posting my new releases when they are released.I have to be honest he can be tough with criticism on recordings but he knows what "Good Sound" sounds likeThanks againRomyFor who that are interested in High Rez Computer au...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
You are not exactly correct about Lynx. First of all my card had no DACs aboard it is just a digital I/O, channels re-mapper and the card’s software. Before I got the card I interviewed quite many technical people about t...

Well, I do not think that I would be able to recode it to CD witch appropriate level of quality but it would be interesting to be able to load it to hard drive and to see if FM level sound still might survive on HD. Also I would be able to writhe a f...

Hi,Thanks for the response. I came here through searching for
music, specifically the 'Computer on the radio' music that was posted
before...and i know one or two names so it seems.My post was just to introduce myself, apologies if it was off-topic...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I don't think I'd be tempted to make a back loaded horn to begin with. [/quote]
Yep, it is what it is. The back-loaded horns might have as convoluted back path as Scriabin music is but the sad truth about them is th...

Interesting concept but let me point out a few considerations.The diffusor does performs a mild "equalization" function if you want to call it that but it is also an aid to dispersion. It is light "EQ"...3dB might be about right. Without any diffusor...

Hi Romy,Ok why be so specific. I don't want to be seen defending participants in the audio industry. However, why stop there? What about the morons who are interested in audio and whose money keeps the industry morons in employment. 99% of those peop...

Denial Weiss just released a new DAC:

It looks like a versatile DAC, reasonably priced. There is not information about architecture, I am sure it be coming. Goggling the DAC202 bring ...

I brought my dead DAW today to a guy next door who run a computer store:

The guy detected that my super-duper PS does not stabilizes the main 3.2V and it had screwed up something on motherboa...

[quote user="de charlus"]Due to this thread, I called the friend upon whose boat I heard the Vox Olympian in order to find out precisely which DCS DAC he was using with his TLOX to get the sound that I found so remarkable. It turns out that whilst th...

Recently I tested the waters of computer audio. I've been using a Sony SCD-1 transport / Museatex Bidat DAC combo for digital playback. It has been a source of enjoyment for years. My goals for trying network-based music files were:- reduce physic...

In my case, it has nothing to do with convenience, and believe it or not, everything to do with quality.Shrink-to-fit, badly-mastered recordings... These are the cards we've been dealt. Ripping CDs is the sort of ritual I hate. I nevertheless spend c...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

At the beginning, audio was a scientific event. People like Bell, Marconi, Edison all were interested in playback of audio outside of the original performance. One used a telephone, another radio and yet another a medium in between for storage. I thi...

I like to read such "reviews", I read them for 17 years now and it impresses me really, that in combination with the "perfect medium" a sonic revolution is fact. Monthly. When it is true, digital reproduction is probably now 34 time...

Actually the most interesting subject in physicality of ear to me is not the cochlea damping but the fact that brain and ear are liquid decoupled and whatever brain hears is transmitted through a liquid pressure wave. Of ...

Don't we always go through this same discussion regardless if it is an amplifier, speaker, turntable, DAC (wine, cigars, frying pans)? Don't the arguments keep repeating themselves? Don't we all agree that IF a turntable NEEDS to cost 125K that somet...

[quote user="floobydust"] By definition and code, a separate non-current carrying ground is required for all outlets. In every house I've lived in, the ground is a separate thick copper bar that goes deep into the ground (the earth outside the house)...
