[quote user="nycparamedic"] But you also might have overlooked some variables that frustrate many audiophile attempting this approach. Was Kmixer in Windows changing the sampling rate of your music? If you installed ASIO or that other plugin, was it ...

I have a new client who put me shitty office with no privacy of any kind. I am sitting in there like in Bagdad intersection – that sucks; hopefully it will not last long. To insult the injury right around me some a bunch of hoodlums with HR paranoia...

I came across a used TL-0 for sale yesterday (black version - looks nicer than current in my eyes). I listened to it through some 20k Accuphase amps and B&W 800D speakers, and the sound was very poor. Fortunately it sounded even worse when the TL...

[quote user="Celsius"]The problem is that my target is drive a 211 as full amp, and my CD player give a litle bit more than 1v to grid. What do you think 1V x 33times x 2.8 give 93ppV enought to drive the 211. [/quote] Well, you need another ga...

Hi Romy,The notion of DPoLS as you describe is of course very intriguing... that there is a piece-of-rice sized speaker-location in the room where the sound and more importantly the listener's interaction with the music is magnified, orders of ...

Romy,Using the Fullrange PS I have bread-boarded the Fullrange amplifier...Turn off the lights and it looks much better.To my surprise (this is my very first amplifier build) everything seemed to work pretty much straight away. The voltages seemed r...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

Due to this thread, I called the friend upon whose boat I heard the Vox Olympian in order to find out precisely which DCS DAC he was using with his TLOX to get the sound that I found so remarkable. It turns out that whilst the DCS unit was indeed pre...

I understand that with my desire to have 2-chanals instead of 34.6 channels for my video room I am bit off the bitten path but it is what it is. I am comfortable with what it is and as time goes by I more and more form my objective and my interest in...

I wish I had other sources for reference, since it's obvious (even to me) that the amps will only sound as good as what they are fed (and what they feed). I think I still have my old CD player around, somewhere, while I wait for my iD...

OK, guys, let stop to bite my Master and Margarita hook: this thread is not about all of that but about electricity problems. I brought the Master only as an illustration of some ridicules regarding the PP noise. I spent today another hour, trying to...

That is the source of my constant bitching for years: what the CD players do not read the dist with WAV. If you have a raw 16/44 file that still might sound OK then burring the file on CD kills everything. So, why do not make the CD players and trans...

Gentlemen:
Thank you for taking the time to consider my post on music servers. You always get more than you bargain for at the Good Sound Club...

[quote user="rowuk"]Still, my ultimate table needs pitch control. There are enough records in my collection that obviously were cut at speeds other than exactly 33 1/3RPM. [/quote] Hm, I do not think if it is the case. During the 78s era there were n...

Maybe the low "consumer" cost of FM program material damps the industry's desire to pursue the tuners. It seems like the other media players do have at their roots programming that has been successfully packaged and marketed for sale, not to me...

then the idea of amp bypassing is relevant to the "clean signal" discussion. But regardless of the measured voltage out vs. driver sensitivity I suspect that there is too little of something in the way of drive and control between a&n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reas...

It is good that a largest CD manufacturer have declared that CDs are dead – now perhaps it is a good time for the industry to learn how to make decently sounding CDs. It is ironic how much nose the stupid industry created about the inferiority of 16/...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

1) Be very careful with use Halco resistors. They were very good 15 years back but they turned south very aggressively. I bought a party of Halco in 2005 and I forced myself to trashed them as they were very noisy. You do not use then in critica...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I would leave the bitching about the FM quality of today to other threads. In thins there I more interested about the today’s tuners. It might be said that no on need a good tuner if we listed the stations broadcasting MP3 ...

That is why what I refer to “transport” I refer to the very primary duty – to read an optical disk and the ability to create more advanced sound out of it. As a persons who am familiar with the best optical disk rea...
