Hi Romy and Company:
My CD player has seen better days so I did some research and though you might be interested in my experience with the "Music server" concept. Punchline: fun, sounds great and is very convenient!
You can create your own aud...

You might check out the following website for a relatively easy to use and free RTA program for your computer. The site also has an active forum that can help get you up to speed with respect to getting the software working, mic sorted, and your init...

I've been searching the net looking for some music cataloguing software that allows as much as possible of the following features:- It can look for CD data online avoiding extensive typing of information. I know, there's no such thing for L...

[i]"because I
"foresaw" that it would take a personally-developed 5-way system with
dedicated amps not only to optimize this approach, but it would take
about that just to overcome what I did/do not like about horns"[/i]I tend to think it's more w...

The miserable PurePower people are still sabotaging to make the Bypass Switch in their regenerators. Only God in his wisdom knows why they are so impotent doing it. The Switch is already there and activated what the unit in overload, all which is nec...

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...

I can contact them again and ask for a price quote for the SLC. These people don't do audio at all. When I contacted them for my RE-1009/2T they couldn't understand how it was possible that any audio equipment could take any profit of their products....

Any type of charged project needs a plan so that everyone involved knows what needs to be done, when the proper people will start and when they are done.I see no possibility to set up speakers in one working day - even bookshelf speakers need knowled...

YES! Now who wouldwant to argue, or even pretend to argue about that?!You will of course realise that a lot of audio interested people have had their 'learning path' as you have had your 'learning path'. This implies if playback improvements where re...

[quote user="Bill"] I have set up a 16 channel system with 7 floor Edgar horns, six inexpensive height, and one overhead speaker (all under $150 each) and one subwoofer channel, all controlled by a Trinnov Altitude 16 pre-pro, which is a computer...

Murat,
I was looking at your midbass horn design and I am wondering, how are you planning to time align that long midbass with the rest of the channels that seem to be time aligned. I mean, currently the midbass is phys...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...

Hello BE,Quotes from BE in blue :A tractrix and a exponential horn was compared in a AES paper sometime 1950-1970, I dont remember when exactly.
Does anyone know where I might get a look at this paper?The two round and straight horns where mad...

de charlus - I used a few of these Behringer boxes and the level of features is staggering. However, in my experience with the Ultra box, sound quality was significantly reduced in "bypass" mode, reduced further when employed as a DAC, and reduce...

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"]It's a very novel sensation for me to be arguing that 'bits are bits'! But its very simple to prove categorically that the binary data on the disc is identical to the ripped version.More importantly, where there are errors, they ar...

Romy, you may recall that I observed a similar phenomenon: "What I've noticed in the past is an HF 'halo' around instruments and voices which is absent in Master mode. It's not unpleasant, but I find it distracting. As a result, Master mode certainly...

DOT*SYSTEM,
Why you burned raw files to DVD-A? By doing this you have killed over 50% of sound. Who need any post-processing software? Come on, I am taking about only row files that come right after an A/D processor. If a file was once re-sa...

For me the issue you take with the appellation of the Item Audio Transport is one purely of semantics. For the record, you say it is not a ‘cd transport.’ Well, the company does not make such a claim. They describe it as a digital transport, use...

I'm not sure I'm clear what you're saying . . . if we're talking about using a CD mechanism to read files in real-time, during playback, we're entering a world of pain. Engineered solutions to the problems thus presented are expensive and specialised...

As you know currently there are two opposite camps regarding digital sound reproduction: one is the non oversampling filterless camp, the other is the over- and upsampling + filter camp. There are as many followers of the NO as the over- and upsampli...

Following on from my last two posts, I finally managed to try the Model Two in AD mode. With the Model Two set to 24/4fs and wordclock master, I cannot discern a difference between the source and the source passing through the Model Twos AD/DA. Furth...

I saw this topic and it prompted me to register and reply, rather than just read, which I've been doing on and off for years now.

Yes, and because of this it would be accurate to say that my system is music-...

op.9,
perhaps I am missing something but what would be a difference between this “Sound Strobe” gismo and a regular good sound generator (that will do a lot of more). I still do not get what this devise does and how it might be used but I wond...

romy- i have resisted using RTA for the very reasons you're citing-- learning to read the visual data, as well as methods of how to get it accurately, are as equally time consuming as any other pursuit in audio. anyone can be a reade...
