Yes, the raised-floor-with-vaulted-ceiling rooms are very hard to charge properly. Perhaps you might at this point begin to work on some of the floor sink treatments discussed up this thread?The corner "nook" can be framed in, if need be, with a doo...

Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s ...

[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="Paul S"]Anthony, congrats on your amazing progress! I know how hard it is to carve out time for this stuff! I see you are looking for gain from your pre-amp, which makes me wonder if you have been using the passive Placette, as opposed t...

Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...

I do not know how this pacific devise I am bit prejudicial about all of those in-line re-clocking devises. I have seen tone of them in past and all of them were incredible crap. Well, if one has a bad performing playback with objectively shitty (ev...

[quote user="Telstar"] Out of curiosity, how much does a Bidat costs nowadays and the Wright mods?[/quote]
This is very interesting question and I had a conversation with John Wright about it a few days ago. He asked me the same question: what the B...

Hmmm... Now I have something else to play with. Next time I am set up to record I will make yet another pass at firebird with the Tascam set to 88.2 so I can see if I can hear any degradation in my downsamped 88.2 file. I wonder if some converters...

Had a wonderful visit with my Japanese friend. But now she's flying West over the Pacific, and I wanted to add my experience to the TH discussion.The main benefit of the TH is the relatively small mouth compared with a traditional horn. That's all....

[quote user="Paul S"] What are you using for pre-amp chores?
Have you tried phono sources yet?[/quote]
I do not use analog for now, since my preamp is being rebuilt, I hope I will have it back this week. Well, I was listening today the life MET’s b...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

Doing some further thinking by my mind that has “little understanding about the technology” I would like to share another concern that for my little mind does make since.

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”

I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I bought a few Linn Records own recordings of Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort. They pushed them as “Studio Master” but they are WMA files – means the re-rendered compress...

Thylantyr,
Yes, you have a point. It might be something fishy is going on in there and I have thought about it too. Still, I do not really see in Costa’s actions any rational for perpetrating the intentionally fraudulent tests. Yes, his Metaxa...

[quote user="mem916"] I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my...

Rony,
Actually I did try to drive Melquiades from different source. My old tube buffer, my phonostage and any other not DC-coupled source were not able to drive it. The 6-ch Melquiades is pain in as to drive. It has around 5K input impedance ...

Did I tell you that Pacific Microsonics DAC is a phenomenal 16-bit DAC? I did not lie and it is very good. Look however what the updated Lavry 924++ did with it.
They are very short and small (6Meg) files, mono, 88/24 with a few seconds of opening o...

Hi Currawong, thanks for sharing your experiences.My own computer playback journey goes back some 9-10 years ago when I started using a MOTU 896HD to interface a PC to my then Esoteric D70 DAC. And in the passing time the one thing I've learned about...
