I do not mean to be negative and criticize Romy, but he is wrong on surround sound. It is the implementation and not the concept which should cause vomiting, like with the vast majority of two track recording which are unlistenable. With the rig...

My COVID-19 brain fog has finally lifted. I have been using HORNRESP as the gold standard for horn design. Upon reflection I forgot that we ultimately listen to the sound produced and not the beautiful computer simulated SPL profile. So I ...

In the post below I made a few mistakes.
1) The new Placete gain stage use analog PS,
not switching and I mistakably said. The power cord come with computer style plastic
box in the middle and I though it is the power supply. In reality the plas...

[quote user="Paul S"]Andy, when I said I am not set up to exploit internet "music", I meant just that; I cannot and therefore did not run your samples through my main payback system, although even that might or might not have done...

[quote user="miab"]Yes the Bidat does lock 48khz very well and so does the Idat-m. Something even more suprising and coming from someone that knows these dacs very well is that on a few samples of Bidat they even lock at 96khz! Alas I am not so l...

[quote user="enjoy_the_music"] Making a vacuum hold down is quite simple, but would it be easier to use a device like the old Audio Technica AT-666? I guess the material used in the latter is not the ultimate. You don't need a great amount of vacuum ...

[quote user="manisandher"] What I'm having more difficulty with is playing 176.4/192KHz sample rate files with the Model Two in Master mode. The Model Two can only output a clock at 1x or 2x 44.1KHz or 48KHz. My AFI1 cannot double the clock frequ...

[quote user="item"] If you want to spin a CD during playback, for nostalgic reasons, then a CD player is fine. The only reason to do so, however, is to extract stored data. Computers have better ways to do this that don't invoke all the mechanica...

[quote user="drdna"] What was more concerning is today some 60 Hz hum also re-emerged in the system, sounding like a vibrating cell phone going off in the back of the room. It was interesting how it was sort of localizable, but the hum is annoying. A...

A week it trashing audio.
I finished with my client with wish I worked for a while, the contract with a new client kicks in 2 weeks and this week I do not work. Well sort of. This week is a big project on my aim – to reconcile the value of my...

Just got a Musical Fidelity V Link Asyncronus USB to Spif.
This unit cuts out the sound card completely and is producing some stunning
sounds from my 4 way active system. One of the best upgrades value for money

[quote user="manisandher"] This is very interesting and something that I have not noticed. Because I cannot double the clock frequency going into the Weiss AFI1, I have tended to ignore playing/recording 4fs files. But, I've kept the second AES/E...

[quote user="Telstar"] If you are not using the Lynx DAC, how good it is really does not matter. Isolation from computer noise matters most IMO. While the Lynx is very good, I still believe you can get slightly better using a firewire interface as di...

OK, thanks. I would leave for others to decide what the “higher resolution image” might mean. It might be some kind of untranslatable Japanese folklore. The more vibrant color palette is definably a valid accomplishment, no one knows through if it is...

When I am alone and listen music or if I listed music with those very-very few who do not need my explanation what they are hearing then I very seldom do something else. Smoking cigars does not count.

It is very nice and indeed and
under normal circumstance you will not need any permanent multimeter. It is for sure nice to have it when
you put a new 6C33C in use as plate current run wildly while the new tube is
burning in. It is still OK to do ...

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!

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I might be not “getting” what you are doing but it looks to
me that it is not near close to “CEC TL0X vs Berkeley Alpha”. The Berkeley
Alpha is just an interface to get stream of DAW but CEC TL0X is digital transport. We...

Understood. Thank you as always for the technical info.
I mentioned the DAB+ becasue the ABC are spending all their time and money implementing digital. 1st July is the start. You might glean some info on perceived quality of this format if re...
