[quote user="HDTT"] Actually 16/44 isn't the target anymore most of my sales are 24/96 downloads or 24/96 DVD's [/quote]
Very good news! I with everyone adopt his rule. Still I feel that the move to 48X was absolutely not necessary – just created co...

[quote user="steverino"]Romy, I thought it was you or maybe I read it elsewhere. SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I think it's hard to rule out digital ...

I didn't know rigid (hard) foam was available in a spray can. Be careful; if you're using proper rigid foam, it expands with great force and would likely push through any tape protecting the cone of the driver.However, the only really rigid foam I kn...

Just speculating, but a tense wire can transmit vibration way better than a loose one. Perhaps to have an accurate bass response you need to keep low frequency oscillations away from the platter, and the tight tape helps to drain them to the rest of ...

[quote user="Axel"]is what I assume that your CD's source is all about. So it could be in deed a problem having used the 'original' master tape (analogue) which might have had a slight problem, stretched, or issues with the equipment speed (slight sp...

The size, I can understand.But can't you simply take the tape out from your Placette and plug it into the Pacific's analog inputs? I'm assuming that the Placette has, in addition to its variable output, a fixed output...Surely this would help wit...

Thanks guys! rakesh, I haven't seen different compounds from Geltec, rather the same materialin different forms: bushings, chips, tape etc. I understand your point with the air suspension, but that'snot gonna happen now. There are shock absorbing fra...

Im very glad to hear that. I intend to follow up on this situation as well so they know that more people are interested in getting this situation under control. Also, Im not sure if its my non-modified tuner or not but on some of their "live to tap...

That is 15 feet above roof line, so say 30 feet altogether if placed away from home in backyard. At 30 feet you could have a nice retractable type almost like the old car pull up telescopic antennae where they are sections within each other.http:...

Do not believe me, I do not believe myself! I would like to tell you honestly that if this thing would be said by other person I would accept it as a pure BS because I have no reasoning to believe that it might be true…. but it is what actually what ...

I think you are loosing me. It has nothing to do with maintaining speed. In fact I never experience any speed problems form any of Micros, even the lightest one (and I am very sensitive to any speed deviations, tested). I was telling about even more ...

Romy:Very few prerecorded tapes had any noise reduction. Not a big problem. If the playback machine is good and in proper tune, you'll hear very little tape hiss.Key to reel tapes is enjoying them for what they are. Best,Paul :-)...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy,
Yes, it is what I was thinking: they had many microphones and before the blast they turn some of them on to highlight some sections or instrument but the microphones were too hot and when the blast went off it was ...

A magnetic tape (VCR) seems to be in fashion in some circles ,as a rubber belt replacement .Doesn't stretch like rubber and you can glue the required lenght as you wish .Custom motor pulley is required . Guy , I have SP10 sibling; SP...

[quote user="haralanov"] Also instead of using electrical tape, try to seal the back of the driver with a 2mm thick sheet of microperforated tonewood and then glue a leather layer over it. Then you could also pierce multiple tiny holes in the leather...

Though I have difficulties warming to the idea of the "headphone" arrangement for these horns, I do understand that we are talking about loading the room. Similar thinking lead me to consider setting large horns behind the listener in my own longish ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What are the pads you are applying, ie what material?[/quote]
I do not think, and I might be wrong, that material matters. Bud, doing his cone driver feels that deviation of mass maters and he “smears” the bouncing of the ...

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

Then do not miss the live-to tape WGBH 89.7 broadcast on Sunday Oct. 26, 3pm James Levine leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Gustav Mahler #6. They might do something very interesting and combine different movements from 3 concerts that they pl...

Based on your claim that spray can foam takes time (days) to stabilize, it seems limiting the quantity used would be the right approach.To do that you need to fill the majority of space with something solid.The following might work for you:Get some 1...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
My current bass is very “integrated” and very musical. It low, it is large, it is extended and it is in away grandeur and it has nothing close with faulty Hi-Fi impressiveness. It never take over sound and never indicat...

I was reading a few days back a review of very popular audio reviewer of a very popular speaker. I could name the person and product but I do not want to give to them even negative publicity as they both are idiots. Anyhow, the review wax the poetry ...

First question:
With the 1.5 gallon rear chamber, the resonance is 700Hz With the basket sealed by tape (very small rear chamber), the resonance is 49Hz Assuming there was not a typographical error, from this we can conclude: 1) Larger...

The ultimate turntable would have a very light platter that allows a teflon bearing without too much wear off and a DSP-controlled piezo motor that can introduce arbitrary speed deviations to overlay the speed irregularities of tape recorders and cut...

Today, at Mravinsky's birthday I publish a good article by Rob Barnett: the Classical Editor of the UK-based http://www.musicweb.uk.net. Rob gives a brief observation of the 20 CDs Melodia's box-set with Mravinsky's recordings.

Romy:Wrong? I am every now and then wrong, as most people are, and I am always grateful for any chance to gain a better understanding of anything that has my interest. But given how I now understand your position, I don't think there is a real di...

[quote user="jtavan"]This might be an overly-obvious suggestion, but have you checked (with an audio editor program) that you're using most of the available recording range? That is, are peaks on the signal up near the maximum level possible given yo...

Here I would like to pitch an interesting thing. It was revealed to me yesterday that VAI released the 1976 Bolshoi production of Swan Lake with Plisetskaya and Bogatirev. Well it was not Bolshoi season production but the Bolshoi troops do what they ...
