I have been in contact with Andy.He replied to my first e-mail but for some reason, not to my e-mail with basic questions, reprinted below.I seem to have misunderstood about the mic capsule being a ribbon. But most of the questions were still v...

Actually I don't find it surprising that engineers don't realize the sonic effects of their engineering. Remember all the indignant articles and letters they wrote about how great solid state amps with low THD sound and how lousy tubes are. In the ca...

Item, I agree that a digital transport only processes data (actually not processes but read would be more accurate definition but I do understand that reading implies a lot of processing) and delivers it to a converter but in real world in order ...

Hi Romy,I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my CD player ups...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I got the new BSO 88/24 files them briefly listened a few fragments. Generally I do like them and they are nothing like the 320kbps multi-channel WMA that BSO marketed before. My fear that the files might have issues with t...

[quote user="Paul S"]Well, you can count me among those who are perennially frustrated by all the unnessary stupidy that goes into most recordings, that's for sure, although I have several hundred records that I would like to keep for the p...

It is good that a largest CD manufacturer have declared that CDs are dead – now perhaps it is a good time for the industry to learn how to make decently sounding CDs. It is ironic how much nose the stupid industry created about the inferiority of 16/...

[quote user="HDTT"] Just some clarification on a few points: I really don't care what people say about my recordings or how they sound I master my sound to what I feel is closest to the source and also "I think" I have no "signature" that is my goal....

Dear Romy,
A. Recordings of different quality are worthwhile. Let's take three examples:
1) A stereo recording that you feel is as good as it gets.2) A mono recording of a beautiful piece of music that is well played.3) A stereo re...

The best sound that I ever heard in my life ironically came from an amateur band. It was in the 1999 and I was in Munich, hanging around Europe in search for sensations. In the center Munich, where all visitors crowded around Munich’s center platz, t...

Well, I think the in this inquiry would be the use of CEC TLOX transport. If you do putting together a system from the ground up then it is arguable if it makes sense to commit yourself with CEC TLOX. This transport is from the last century and i...
