While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio
format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For
one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be
recovered with error correction algorithms...

[quote user="Paul S"]Jarek, you've probably already thought of this, but not to leave it unsaid: If there is any chance for cone displacement when you mess with the surround (and/or the spyder), I recommend you first work out some shims to put in...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

Digital Crossovers are wonderful. They are wonderful because they might help to very easy to learn if you are not a Moron ™. I have covered this subject in the threads:

[quote user="anthony"]Have put all my DHT's on the curve tracer to see if pairs can be matched for preamp duties. [/quote] It was very interesting to read about all of it. If you have a socket for YO186 then you can accommodate all 4V tubes and I si...

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 files from there were backed...

[quote user="Serge"]Well, I always noticed that 'universal' transports which spin the CD at 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x (faster each year) sound much muddier and grainier then the dedicated CD ones. Unfortunately nowadays there are hardly one or two commerc...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I do my best to remain ignorant of the price for which I sell off the hours of my life. (Btw, I'm not a software engineer; I design cars). Yes I could pay someone to do the work, but I'd rather put the cash toward the pur...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Did you use LEAP or anything like that, or just cross everything over 1st order as a guess, and tune by ear? [/quote]
Oh, no. I do not use any LEAPs or others tools, no time domain analyses or anything like this – the...

[quote user="LossTangentZero"] We must accept that the human body is equipped with very poor measurement instruments in the form of eyes and ears, etc. Fortunately, the human brain is exceptionally powerful in compensating for this poor signal ...

[quote user="Telstar"] About the number of hard disks you dont really need 6 just for audio. 2x1 TB drives would be more than adequate. [/quote]

Jerry,
I got your Nanut CDs, thank you very much. I did not send to you anything yet – I will. Too much going on my plate now… Not to mention that I recently change my recording software and I need to see how this time I will be converting my ...

Dear Romy,Assuming that your questions are "honest" ones ( I have no reason to believe they are traps, like it happened to me before with a certain Mr. Thor), I will give you "honest" answers, hoping that our dialogue will be of some interest to the ...

Thanks, Guy, for your explanations. Still those “have less inertia and are able to change direction more quickly” I feel has more to do with out intellectual visualization of how DHT work. I do not think that inertia would be correct concept an...

compression drivers are the way to go as far as i am concerned but obviously performance depends on the horn lens.

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...
