If you are going to build such a huge cabinet or put a hole in the floor to use the basement as a chamber, why not just build horns in the basement with a straight 8-10 foot section in the basement with the back chamber resting on the floor, cut...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Romy, there are more ways to the top of the mountain... <BR>And we already know that your way isn't my way... <BR><BR>You bring up many very valid points, but still I will continue to use my digital crossove...

It might not be necessarily the new wire. With analog there are other billion reasons why it might not sound as it should. Still, I personally can’t stay listening “new” wire with MC cartridges. If you recently futzed with the arm wire then you...

[quote user="Amir"]I listened one time (just one time) to master tape (revox reel).micro harmonic was so better than dCS Elgar (digital source) and it was better in micro dynamic. i did not tested good DSD in a good DAC vs good analog but in micro li...

I was pointed out to an endeavor of Type Project where the guy who trade Bottlehead kits is trying to promote contemporary 15ips master dubs and staff eBay machine with Bottlehead-level of electronics.

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] 1) It is not strictly audio project but it kind of related: I need to move my audio site out of my static IP DSL line to a data center. I have high-speed ADSL but the site has a lot of traffic and my crappy DSL li...

[quote user="zanon"]Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?[/quote]Absolutely not, it is not what I meant. I meant that the only advant...
|
Yes Paul, one would assume this BUT we have a generation of digital recordings where „digital“ is blamed for bad glaring sound - caused by the microphone mismatch. They were recorded and mastered by the analog engineers - maybe they were not so golde...

Over a number of years I come across a number versions of Van den Hul’s write up. It is very mildly controversial (very mildly) but still it is a wonderful read for amy analog user. http://www.goodsoundclub.com/pdf/Phono_FAQ.pdf ...

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 you Roma can do it right (fina...

[quote user="N-set"]Has anybody tried this:http://www.analog-collector.com/bonus/cellules/default.htmVery costly and a copy but..maybe...?[/quote]Looks like a cross between moving iron and some old and forgotten electromagnetic cart from the 30-s. Is...

RomyHere is something that looks like what you describe, I do not know if it is the quality or performance you are looking for. But he does offer a 30 day in home trial. http://www.blueberryhillaudio.com/products/analog-evolution.html...

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.

Yesterday I spent most of the day to play with my IB, trying
to make it to sound the way how I like. I
pretty much wanted to re-implement on analog level that surprisingly good result
I got with digital crossover. So, I have built my along crosso...

I do not think that this division on analog and digital is right. The true division should but not about type of frond end but about a type of PS. If you have any switching PS then I would isolated them in a dedicated line. The division also might ...

From Larvy Site:Features like a USB input, programmable settings, infrared remote capability, and the proprietary >PiC< Playback Image Control™ make the DA11 more than just a great sounding DA converter. In keeping with the Lavry Engineering tr...

Actually, Eduardo, I disagree.
Although I do concur with many of your proposals but I insist that the mistakes that people make in their analog vs. digital thinking are purely methodological and those mistakes that disqualify their conclusi...

[quote user="manisandher"] Have you tried this yet? If so, in percentage terms, how close do you think the digitized signal is to the original analog signal? (This is something that I'm hoping to try myself at some point, but I don't have a good ...

[quote user="manisandher"]I received three Reference Recordings discs yesterday - 'Exotic Dances from the Opera', 'Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances' and 'Dick Hyman Thinking of Bix'. I'm surprised that I actually like these (musically speaking) more tha...

Michael Fremer has been called a very unpleasant personality. Seeing this post of his, I can see why. Of course he is playing a con game, just like all of Stereophile is. There is no doubt about that. Anyone who embraces analog over digital has got b...

So what is with the ferrite beads? Do you find they are necessary? Seems to me the resistors right on the socket would be good enough. Especially with the grounding of the center pins. I run beads all the time in my digital si...

Clearly, if to retain LP or CD source and analog-fed stereo main speakers, there is the matter of backwards compatibility with any added DSP RI enhancement. From the 8 things list, it looks like current Auro is backward compatible with 5.1 surround e...

Thanks, Scooter, I will check it out. Meantime, I thought I should put a "recognizable" header on/in the thread... At this point I am "ready" for DSP at ULF; but I still "draw the line" at that... so far...I suppose that part of the "problem" is ...

[quote user="rowuk"]Amir,you have now posted twice that "proper" USB is better than SPDIF. The problem is that it isn't, unless someone makes up rules to define their own sense of better. The problem here is that they have not defined anything that i...

Yep, another TT but what does it mean “Analog is Back” and “new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile”? This language is a crap that industry and armature cheerleaders develop to pump themselves and others up. However, in my view this lang...

in my idea philosophy of converting analog to digital is like philosophy of modern art like cubism. dividing structure to it's elements and working on elements then constructing new structure from new elements.I think digital for it's wrong approach ...

After dealing with my tuner pick digital noise from my AD and DA, and particularly from Lavry DAC, I loaded Lavry with quite substantial amount of ferrite anti-RF filters:
