Yo-yo Ma will be playing Bach solo cello suites for 2.5 hours starting in a few minutes (noon Pacific Daylight Time in North America.) He has a YouTube channel and it is also carried on the website kusc.org and maybe elsewhere. I don't know what the ...

Oh joy! :-)In my greed I'll attempt to get the "Flat / Hierarchy" exactly how I'd like it:One click on "Flat" or "Hierarchy" creates a cookie on the users computer, which stores the setting (for a loooong period ahead). The chosen mode will stick, an...

[quote user="item"]Part of the reason we call our computers 'transports' is to encourage people to think of the number-crunching part of an audio system in the same already familiar terms as a CD player - because all the same things matter: CD tr...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important f...

Hi Paul, thanks for your insights.Yes, we have published our results in other forums too. That was a great experience. It was a lot of fun being able to share all that with them. :)[QUOTE][URL=http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/playcl...

Wojtek, in reality all “problems” that you picked from Paul’s comments are purely inventions of his mind. ML2 is truly “turn and forget” type of amp and it requires no dancing or prying around it. The 6C33C requires some attention when it is new but ...

I gave a thought to your claim of a non-objective and superficial judgment of digital audio when comparing CD's to LP's.If I understand it correctly, the raw file has potential to sound very good (given no losses or damage when downloading and given ...

Please don't judge all Canadians from the sounds you'll hear there at the show. Be prepared for some very bad 'computer' audio. It was almost everywhere. Well it was so in the past. The only consolation is the food throughout Montreal. It is perhaps ...

but for the sound it could well be: http://www.rozhlas.cz/d-dur/download_eng It's a performance by the Czec Radio on period instruments. It can be downloaded in Flac format and then converted to wav to burn a CD or whatever. I've just listened to it ...

To be more specific about the Audience units, I initially thought they worked better in the audio chain than others at clearing up and clarifying sonic textures without slowing or hardening sounds.. But I started to notice that low level harmonic inf...

Romy, thanks for the tip. One of the great joys in my life is being bowled over by a work and/or performance with which I am not familiar, such as the Cleveland's Ravel Quartet in F. I will have to find a CD or LP of the Boston's Ravel Trio, or may...

Thanks for the info Meiko41 !
At what load (the percentage on the display) does the noise from the capacitors becomes annoying ? Do the fans stay always on or they kick in when you reach certain temperature ? I guess the fan is not an issue if...

It is funny how it turns out to be. The listening spot, the 3-sit couch, located at sweet spot is not my favorite place to be nowadays. For sure it offers best sound and for “critical” listening there is nothing then to be at the middle pillow of th...

My journey with computer audio offers me reason to be optimistic. I think it is like everything else in the audio chain. Everything counts. Keep it as simple as possible. The power for every consumer is important. Keep the number of parts and transfo...

I understand the rational to get TL0, even though I would not do it as now if I start fresh. The perspective that I am trying to bring is kind of DAC related, If you get TLO and would go for “ultimate” DAC for that transport then you might discover ...

Romy,My DSET amps are still open (no top plate) so are fully ventilated, but I have left vents in the top plate around all of the valves and installed two computer fans (running very low speed) that push air from the bottom and out the vents on the t...

Hi Romy,I've downloaded the files, which have the w64 extension. This AFAIK is a propietary Sony's Soundforge format. I've played them with that software, but it won't accept playing using the "bypass" to use only souncard's routines and uses Windows...
