[quote user="oxric"]I have been looking forward to build my own ….. sometime towards the summer of next year. [/quote] Do not think about it now. The introduction of new things in computer world is so rapid that the six months that you have ahead of ...

[quote user="scooter"]* Regarding playback, I misspoke in my original post of an "Audiophile music server." Upon further reflection, this is an oxymoron, if not a moronic phrase. I think it is highly unlikely that a dedicated audiophile CD player w...

Does anyone know if exist any Gaussmeters that have no own indication but would be powered from a serial port of a computer and dump data back to PC into some kind of to custom software? It is not that I do not what to pay $300-$400 but that I do not...

You had mentioned the dry cells before but I was unaware of them.I went with the LiFePo the fellow recommended. I had ordered it before you posted this.The key is depth of discharge and I am not sure if they are specifying this. All of their specif...

I was in a similar situation , the problem seems easy but its very time consuming . Other problem is moores law , so when you try to find very silent technology one could have trouble in the slots in the motherboard with his actual hardware . Like ha...

Hello Romy!Here is an example from pop music:http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQBut It could be possible you don´t hear the difference. I originally listened to it on an other one´s computer and it was impressive. During listening to it ag...

SOS, please note that your PP 2000 does not isolate one component from another within the reconstituted 60 Hz circuit. It only isolates those components from the noisy and variable wall voltage. Since you think you must isolate your TT and phono stag...

I don't like Winamp and I use Foobar to play my music files on the computer, in this handicapped second system (is not that the "first" is much more interesting anyway). Since I haven't tried Wavelab myself I can't speak about SQ of both, but in my c...

Although I mostly buy CD's, I have never been a fan of the format and still prefer LP's. As such I would welcome some value added content. The trouble is, I suspect it won't be music (the only real value added content of interes...

I thought the file fragmentation issue was the reason for having buffering memory where the file or at least a significant portion gets pre-loaded into memory. Since that is widespread I don't see why the file fragmentation on the hard drive would cr...

...especially about the difficulty of making a transparent preamp. It seems to be a general concensus.
But I need gain for most of my sources apart from perhaps the FM ...

[quote user="SearcherOfBetterSound"]Why is Acoustic Solid so interesting to me? Well, it should be to most when you read stuff like a $1,600 Black Wood Classic model can beat out a $5,500 Super Scoutmaster model from VPI, and a $4,000 ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Perhabs, wlowes. Might I ask you: when you refer to “sonic improvements”, “brought more life to the music”, deep quiet background and etc then what do you mean? What I am trying to say is that your rational might be logica...

If you follow this thread and my successes and tribulation with PurePower regenerators than you remember that I had problem with sound running two PP2000 for right and left channels. So, I had everything, including my DAW plugged into on PP2000,...

Absolutely flat response will usually sound as you've described it; listen to your ears. If you are hearing the opening bass line of "So What" via the sub, you must be running the sub pretty high in frequency to compensate for lack of mid-bass. From ...

Dear Romy, I'm not surprised at your disappointing results as I have experienced the same with a variety of power filtration or generating devices. Your surmise is correct that such devices work much more easily with AV equipment or computers than t...

But batteries are much simpler!I would think those things make more than some noise so a remote location would be required which would make long AC lines a necessity.I can see large installation making good use of this but not for most audio systems,...

Guys,The purpose of the exercise is to get the best possible results from my existing collection of Red Book CDs - I have them, so I may as well use them, purchased en masse as they were during the rather overstated "demise" of vinyl - whilst providi...

Reading the title of the original post I was under the impression that a new product was out or discovered that was a computer based optical drive system with storage as it's secondary function but it looks like just another storage based system with...

Thanks guys. It's interesting to hear such perspectives, especially upon computer audio; to go by the "audiophile press", high-res computer files are the best thing since that proverbial sliced bread - just like DVDAudio, HDCD, SACD etc were - so muc...

Hi Romy,I have never had a particularly good listen to a Berkeley dac so I cannot comment there, but I do appreciate the steps they have taken to remove some processing from the dac itself and give the computer some more work to do.Personally, I am a...

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...

You and I must be of the very few that find CD-R copied discs sounding worse than an original CD, most people find no differences or better sound in copied discs.I have a Marantz Pro recorder (631 I believe) and as a transport is pure crap, not even ...

Hi Jorge,Thanks for your quick response. I believe I came off a bit brash and apologize as that was not my intention. I edited my comments above a bit for clarity; I found the DCX quite useful at low frequencies. The DCX is not a perfect unit but I ...
