That is it. I have felt that my “moving” project is over. I still have a few things that I am planning to do but the basics are done and the huge disturbances that moving to new home are over. The room is fundamentally us done and the core sound ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="Telstar"] I meant that the Lynx digital output may retain some noise from the computer, not that you get noise from the onboard soundcard (provided that you have one -You have onboard audio disabled in the bios...

Here is another provider for digital files: the Unipheye Music from Philadelphia sunbirds.

I was considering ordering the Beethoven quartets disk but they have no PayPal checkout option and I do not fill those ...

[quote user="jp"]In my experimentations, the da924 doesnt contribute much noise in my setup. Rather in my setup its the lavry ad122 thats the trouble maker. When all digital is turned off I have a very quiet background. Here are my observations...

Whoever follows the Pacific Microsonics threads, or whoever use Pacific know that both Models one and two have an interesting idiosyncrasy: at maximum sampling rate, when Pacific runs in dual-wire mode, the clock runs at half speed. It does not ...

I have old PCI Lynx card. I think they do have a new version with PciE, it call Lynx AES16e:

It still despite the PciE will not...

My contra-SACD position is well known but unfortunately as I predicted mode and more SACD recording are being realized and they have already vandalized by SACD format. It look like no one record nowadays on PCM if companies even want to release 2...

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 have no idea what kind dat...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

I asked Romy the following question:
I'm contacting you because I own a Pacific Microsonics Two that I'm planning on using to playback high resolution digital files. I'm now in the process of choosing a platform, card and playing software. I k...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Even though I do understand that advantages to run dedicated operation system but it do not automatically implies that the result will be better.[/quote]No, not automatically. But I believe using a minimalist open source op...

Since I installed the 3 of PP2000 units they do work wonderfully. Since my days 2-3 years back when a turn of power switch on PP1500 required to dress in bomb-squad outfit and when any switching might be the very last switching, I kind of have th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Those who do not know how audio sound during the Super Electricity Days they do not know. I do know and I wonder: are the Super Electricity Days have own after-mark. I kind of pissed that it did not hit me early as I mi...

The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What are my plans for 2011? I have a few. I am sure that I will be working with fine refinement of Macondo in the new room. I look forward to review the Macondo Fundamental Channel, will it be my new 18-cell or not I do...

Ok, yesterday I have done my dedicated lines, well my electrician did it but I guess I will take all credit for it and he just get my check. I have right behind my rack with PP3000 and power measuring equipment, on the wall 3 groups of receptacle...

For sure despite my attitude against computer audio I will rebuild
my dyeing machine. However, in addition to regular critiques that I have toward
to computer audio lately a few more points were added. The social and
economical situation in Boston...

Today is a first day since we moved to the new house last June
when a local audio guy comes on over to do some listening as I feel that the
room and playback setup is over. It is kind of important to me to have this introvertial
milestone, to know...

Last week I spent in NYC and while Amy was hanging along some kind of malignancy conference of her and had a couple hours free around Grand Center Station and I decided to drop by at Innovative Audio at 58 street. I know that they Wilson and La...

Thanks, Tommy it might be very interesting. The player looks like it has 3-tube output stage and I wonder it is possible to run unit this all time on but to shut down juts the tube section?
Also, beside all typical curiosity regarding sound of that...

There are a lot of talking nowadays among audio people about music servers and about the ripping the people’s CDs to music servers and playing from there. I always feel that it a dummy thing to do. People claim that besides the “convenience” there ar...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

It is astonishing: what “scooter” wrote in his “Ultra box” post above is what I would write myself.
Anyhow, Charlus when you wrote about “single DAC possessing virtues entirely harmonious with all three sources” then I very much understand wh...

Looking what we do with our players, transports, A/D processors, D/D processors , D/A processors, externals clocks, cables, mass storages I find that it is all so bogus and so irrational. To my surprise I do not see anybody does what I wo...

Thanks, guys. They were quite valuable recommendations. I wonder
how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall
not have more than 3 tonearms on my turntable or more than 3 pressing of my favorite
records…The reality...

As I reported before I have problem with two PP in my home
to work at the same time. I have my main audio system all plugged in PP3000+
and I have my video/audio system in opera room running off PP3000. The use of
PP3000 in my Opera Room is very e...

[quote user="Lx_"]The effects on sound can be described either globally or in details. Globally the music flows less, the sense of musical phrasing is diminished, sound tends to tighten, feel constricted, dynamics are also reduced. When trying to...

It has been a little wild trip from Portsmouth NH (our second home) to Montreal. The weather was wonderful and the drive was surprisingly easy. The trip in the way reminds me my audio trips from the past, with talks and thinking about audio here ...
