What astonishes me is that industry discover a new “gold manna” the music servers but never told to people what to do with them and how to use. The list of the companies the tosses on market music servers are growing. Many companies do 24 bit dacs wi...

[quote user="drdna"]It is funny since they are identical digitally recorded tracks you would think they are the same. I would very much be interested to know if the binary code is identical or not for the two tracks. [/quote]Drdna,Do not even s...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...

The idea of a driver/speaker that "sorts out" noise and "puts it in its place" is very interesting! But perhaps we are thinking wrongly about how this might be done? As far as doing it earlier in the "reproduction" chain, I do know a version of thi...

I guess you have heard a more detailed speakers then. Your collection seem rather extensive. I never meant the Fane S 8N was overly detailed, just that it my paper horn the detail was gone, so I will not try that again.I share the process because...

I would think that one would opt at least for a cartridge able to distinguish between different violins (well) recorded in different spaces. Although aural memory itself remains suspect, still one does want to entertain an illusi...

Stringreen, what an interesting series of posts. I generally enjoy musicians' takes on hi-fi, especially as these relate to sound (versus music). In all performances there are so many things to listen for and to. What I have mo...

No matter how often I go through it I still frequently get confused and disoriented when tubes go bad. In this case I have been integrating a new (passive) pre-amp and a new (tubed) phono stage into the system, including trying various tub...

I listened to the demo comparing the XR Remastering to both the original master tape as well as the original LP. http://pristineclassical.com/More/NaturalSound.htmlScroll down to "Putting the theory to the test" I started the comparison using my ...

I guess this is not really new. A well designed BMW V8 engine runs as smoothly and quietly as a V8, V10 or V12. Professional bike riders have a pace that gives them the optimum endurance and speed. Professional eaters pace their bites to get the "mos...

Is my CEC TL0 stopped to work I was kind of suicidal as I do not feel to pay 10K for a new one and I will never find anything the sound as good. A friend of my suggested me to contact Nick Gowan who can fix CEC: http://www.tsound.com/inquiries.htmlPr...

Never had a 100kg power supply to play with, but I have certainly noticed that changing the power source affects dynamics (along with plenty of other things, too). I prefer my friend's system's dymanics when "grid power" is connected, vs giant batter...

[quote user="Ciampa"]Good anoon everyone,I am currently running an RY-5500/RX-5000 trough aramid thread. Was wondering wht wd be the ideal thread tension for the system. Wd it be better being tight or loose ? Both cases I get constant platter speed, ...

Today was dark and rainy, and the electricity was much better than I have heard it for some time. Though I have not listened a lot since I did the recent changes, the parts seem to be breaking in nicely. Today I listened first to some Brahms Interm...

[quote user="Paul S"] God, this sounds like the very worst sort of DIY threads! FYI, I HATE DIY![/quote]It sounds but it does not necessarily mean that it is :) Let me try to deffend a bit my last postings:DIY is a self propelled random walk "let's ...

[quote user="Hyperborean"]Am I going nuts or all these posts around digital recording just crazy? Digital is not even near that point to consider it as a recording medium, specially at home. There is only one way to do it right - analog! Seems like y...

Well, for someone who is supposedly building a business on "better quality", things like this show the true character. Let's face it, if you pay for something, and don't get it, you get a refund. If HDTracks were interested in their customers, THEY w...

I remember the old Decca cartridges as quite maddening, a real love/hate connundrum. Unrivaled, totally addictive "immediacy", and dynamics that made anything else sound muffled and plain wrong, but also about as user-unfriendly and unrel...

Amperidian,
Those “evens” that you experienced I your cars are well known to me - the auto sound is very different subject though and I would not mix in into FM thread... The phenomena of car sound has nothing to do with FM in particular, you might...

I got last night an interesting collection of many dozens reel-to-reel tapes. They are recordings of 1975-79 seasons of Metropolitan Opera mostly with James Levine. All reels are in meant condition, in own plastic bags, scrupulously numbered, a...

Sad to think of people mooning over TT porn, and reading all the "specs", imagining what this will [undoubtedly] do to finally send their systems into orbit. Sure, a good TT has good parts; but how the parts are used is at least as important as ...

Good call, Wojtek.Depending on access, the cement boards could probably be 5/8" drywall, for savings on material and easier installation. Moisure resistant drywall can be used over a dirt crawl space. The cement board is a PITA to cut around ducts,...

Hi Guy,Thanks very much for providing me your insights on the SP10.I have to confess when I initially read your comments I could not help but be astounded that a person involved with a Brit belt driven, light weight, suspended turntable would be usin...

I admit that I am facinated with this cartridge, based on the undying hope that one day the unique and addictive (and ultimately, necessary...) "aliveness" might be had without the sort of mind-twisting torture that always prevailed. But this "revie...

I built a prototype of a Avantgarde Trio in newspaper and tape, with the Beyma CP380/M, Community M200, and the Fane S 8M, and I also used a Behringer CX3400 and a 45 tube amp. CX3400 is soon replaced by digital active XO.Paper may have made the midb...

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

el`Ol,
in your proposal of “arbitrary speed deviations” what would be a criterion for the “arbitration”. I wonder what algorithm your DSP would execute in order to detect that the “speed irregularities of tape recorders ...

I have compaired the Ortofon Jubilee to the MC3000II. The former is more "unctuous", "viscous", "smooth", or "suave", and easier on recordings, per se. The latter, although very tape-like in balance, attack and transparency, is less ...

Clark, I disagree that those days are “mostly gone”. Certainly I do not know what “used to be” but nowadays we Bostonians are blessed with very good programming. Each Tuesdays and Thursdays WHRB broadcasts “live to tape” performances from Cleveland, ...

Ric, let's keep the digital cable thread about digital cable and "compare sampling/resolution options" here.As for my problems with digital sound, again, I have covered these at length in my "Digi Redux" thread, and in Romy's SACD thread. Again, in ...
