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 ...

[quote user="item"] The data ripped to the hard disk is - absolutely precisely - the same as the data on the CD. [/quote] Not necessarily. The data on CD is very much not the same as stream I uncompressed let say wave file. It was what I ment whe...

Listing here and there more Bruckner Fifth I have to tell you something. This Bruckner Fifth by Zander and his semi-armature Boston Philharmonic is amusingly good. I just wish they release it committal that the people would know how to play Bruckner ...

Well, I think it's a question of how much battery is enough for the application, rather than AC vs. DC, per se. I can say again that my own (home use) DAC is much better from a battery. Perhaps this has partly to do with its "PS design", which is a ...

Jessie, I just wanted to say that I make my own shorting jacks from the worst possible plastic Radio Shack RCA plugs and small, cheap (1/2 Watt) 100 Ohm resistors, which I solder across the +/- RCA plug connection points and then ...

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 perfromances that some...

JD's post contains several interesting tips and hints: talking of walls and floors is important like and possibly more than talking about a pleasant, cocooning space where to find themselves in music and reading and relaxed chatting with friends and ...

Paul, I searched for the discussion on platter weight optimality but couldn't find it. Anyway I assume people know I was referring to a one person lift turntable on a stand, not a one finger lift. Assuming a platter weight in the 25 pound range and ...

I am interested to determine from further reading if by "rubber" belts you mean anything as springy as rubber tubing or stapled bicycle tubes suggested by others. It has been my own finding that the older pro-quality recording tape is as good a...

This takes me back to previous discussions we've had about differences between the languages of Music and of Hi-Fi, and I hereby refer readers to these posts. I'll add a link or links if I can find them.In direct response to the subject post, 50...

What a great question, Adrian.To answer within the context of the thread, I think I try to "split the difference", beginning with as "neutral" a cartridge as I could find,at least as compared to The Grail, Master Tape. And I still cling to...

What a beautiful liberating alternative – to practice audio living with LIVE FM. There are no barbarian cretins who “master” Sound of performances, no editors, no worsening sound by stupid media formats. Just good people play good music and LIVE broa...

I think, all those - endless - discussions about Digital Playback simply miss the target by a mile. When the CD was launched it was "perfect sound forever".And what kind of discussions we have had in the last 20 years? Always about hardware. 44.1, 48...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you do not have the same effect as reel tape of 15ips played at 9ips then your software is not truly slaved by Pacific/ AFI1 chain.[/quote]Yes, I totally agree.And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my R...

[quote user="Paul S"]Amir, I agree with you wholeheartedly, on a philosophical level, and this in turn underpins my overview of life, art, etc.But, in practical terms, the fractioning off of any "event" is certain, once we try to "reconstruct" that e...

From a tape of a live performance radio broadcast, 1943; Unicorn, UNI 107I think I remember another thread with impassioned references to this concerto, but I could not find it. Anyway, I was thinking that perhaps this post should be merged wit...

I believe a year or so was announced that Riccardo Muti will lead the CSO. I have no specific love of hate to Riccardo Muti but as long he is not Daniel Barenboim who in my view destroyed CSO I very enthusiastic about Riccardo Muti. Today WGBH broadc...

I am sorry to say that I have sat through very few symphonic or opera performances in San Diego, even when the price of the seats made me feel bad about leaving, too.I did hear what seemed at the time to be a wonderfully-inspired ...

[quote user="N-set"]A very approximate calculation shows that in my case I should have the profile fundamentals around 20Hz, soperhaps what I take as subsonic vibrations are actually 20Hz, poorely damped due to the added sand mass. I've ordered a dir...

Hi all... yes, a clean power is paramount for a clean sound... I run my turntable and pre-amp on batteries and the difference in sound is amazing, while I never used outboard filtering on amps, BUT I have a public mains transformer at 10 meters from ...

It is sad that no one talks about it and it is very not clear what is going on. It looks like the companies that sell hi-res files feel that the phrase hi-res is automatically an assurance of some kind of “quietly”. Well, they most likely deal w...

The most interning in Larvy writing was the article about Optimal
Sample Rate. Dan Lavry begin to advance this subject in his post at various
audio boards from I think 2008 and then in 2012 he convert it into his “papers”

Adrian, I have not tried the top Deccas for many years. My last experience with them was as ever: I absolutely loved their unrivaled immediacy and presence, which I found totally addictive, and it also made other cartridges sound pretty pathetic by ...
