[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Hm,… and how many $90.000 screwdrivers that do not perform as good as $9 screwdrivers you think you will be able to sell? In the audio industry however it works wonderfully. There were many examples when audio products beg...

There of course is a ton of garbage on the net about the sound quality of a DAW with WLAN vs gigabit ethernet, analog or digital power supplies, memory, manufacturer of hard drive, active ports.I have primarily only really invested in lowest noise an...

While I was moving in to my new home John Wight undertook my Bidat for his new update. Up to now I did not have playback properly performing but the last 2-3 weeks I feel that my playback is back. Again, whatever I lien now has only upperbass horn a...

I put the Model 2 today in the system and configured my typical operation mode. I got another pleasant surprise. It looks like the Model One and Two has different DC offset pattern. Both use digital offset and both are not defeatable. Here is where L...

This is kind of even funny. I was told that I need to buy the last Stereophile and to read how the industry cheerleaders vaseline the Magico guy. So I did buy it the magazine.
What was almost hilarious in the magazine was the lost in the slippery LA...

Hey to everybody.
Long time lurker and now bored and little bit drunk - finally registered . To introduce my self I choose this forum section - looked most appropriate. Excuse me please if I'm wrong.

[quote user="George"]Have you tried recording and playing vinyl with your computer and the Lavrys? Even though the source is completely different than FM perhaps you might get acceptable results for some recordings?? Any success would be a great...

Among all tonearms I have seen there was no one who did the VTA adjustment as intelligent as Advanced Analog Audio Lab’s MG-1 tonearm.

With my resent battle with Shelter and the off the FM session analog renaissance I am playing a lot of records and there is one observation I would like to make. I feed all my 3 “better” tonearms into the “End of Life" Phonostage and I can’t not to m...

1. The less we have to fill in for the brain to reconstruct the original event, the better it will sound. This has been proven by psychologists for all of our senses. The closer to reality the sensation is, the less the brain has to work, the more re...

The mini skirt analogy is a great fit. That is my experience.Or maybe like that stunning girl has small breasts and one has know the joy of a good handful. There are ways for enhancement and while one could get more, the girl is no more beautiful and...

Amir, I question your statement. There are so many senses (visual, aural, touch, smell). These senses can be fooled very easily.We do not need audio playback for anything except our own personal pleasure. I insist that there is no way to measure pers...

I was looking for a solution to play my 88/24 files off my laptops and come across an interesting devise: M-Audio Transit USB. The thing is 24-bit/96kHz recording and playback sound card. It has digital and analog I/O, including glass, microphones in...

I got emails today pointing at some forum at LinkedIn. In there somebody named Patrick Mattucci – “Senior Systems Designer at Hi-Fi Sales Company” asked an interesting question:
“How would the Analog Enthusiasts among us rate today's lat...

Sure, old records are noisy, bandwidth-limited, etc., but perhaps there are ways to mitigate some of these problems, to help even audiophiles get to the special performances available only through older mecanical media? If noise is the big...

[quote user="N-set"] Romy would you care to elaborate on that a bit? In particular have you hear amorphous/silver combination?[/quote] Nope I never had it and even f I did it would be difficult to generalize anything. I had only once a fully silver...

I do not have any special animosity against DSD beside that fact that it is a fundamentally compromised format to be “final” format. My presumption that I might comply one day with a need to buy a SACD player comes from the fact that the industry in...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It was exactly what I was experimenting for many times since 2005 and I came to exactly opposite finding. I am not able to make neither LP, tape or CD to copy in digital that would sound like original source. I am able to ...

Yes, it is a different link but I am sure what it is. They claim it as audio transport but they claim an optional CD hardware and software. What does it mean “optional”. If it is a regular DAW machine then it is fine, there are plenty of them out the...

[quote user="Paul S"]Interesting that problems Harley isolated in this case (pits and lands; turntable) were physical/mechanical, utimately "analog", in that sense. I'm glad someone has stayed after it, but not sure how to put this revelation to work...

[quote user="jtavan"] I would be interested to hear your reaction to the same CD ripped properly on a CD-ROM drive rather than recorded from SPDIF stream. If your transport is VERY good, they should be equivalent... but on damaged discs, or with bad ...

[quote user="noviygera"]I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have have a good sounding DSP for crossover and delay functionality. I know this subject was covered here before but what was talked about is this DSP is not that good, and th...

I guess you mean the "Arabian" power regenerator you have been working on with Dima? Well, I will wait to hear the results enthusiastically. If it works, I want one too!
The idea of analog dithering opens up a whole new world of possibilities reg...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Sometimes it's good to be sucked at first? [/quote]Yes, it is pretty clear. If the simple parameters measured were adequate, solid state receivers would sound wonderful and CD's would be great without oversampling. This has...

Considering the employments I would like to make in my installation after the floor will be done and the system is re-assembled I am very much thinking about some kind of new cable management solution. I have 21 powered components in my playback syst...

It was posted by 6Moons and pop up at some other sites: “April 2011 - Audiopax Maggiore 100 - Eduardo de Lima reports the pending launch of a new series of amplifiers. " The Maggiore 100 makes 100 watts with KT88 and 130 watts with KT120 in single-en...

It is OK, Item. It is a common for people who sell audio to be not completely informed what they are selling. That comes with territory. You might discover with time that audio is much more interning then just to dump a pile of BS on people and to ma...
