The PS Audio newsletter this month had the following:

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is...

Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...

[quote user="Antonio J."] Anyway, going back to the subject of the thread, why would you implement the ambiance retrieval at speaker level and not at the "pre DAC" one? After all we'd like to have from CD's something closer to what TU-X1 does.[/quote...

I talked for a couple of hours today with a local Solar Power technician, I sort of told him all the gear I have that would need to run on batteries and we got a shaky number; from that number he started calculating a bunch of panels and batteries a...

I'm not sure exactly what I expected from swapping the digital cable at this point, but what I got was not it.Before I bought the Belkin Synopsis cable I just swapped out, I had sought out and purchased an Acoustic Revive cab...

This evening I took myself to performing additional tests with the entire system completely disconnected from utility ground. Following Romy's considerations about different grounds, and Richard's absolute belief in the capacity of a properly working...

An email from a visitor:
"I read with interest your views on Linnmann's "preview" of the CEC TL0x. Funnily enough, this "preview" has been around for a while (late 2005), and the full review is still (eagerly?) awaited as of early March 2006.&...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level of jitter manifest itself subjectively – interesting that they all derived from the engineers whose credibility is very high (not juts the audio-tweaker...

Oh that forgotten pleasure… I am not spoiled with audio experiments nowadays. Partially because I do not have a lot of drive and have reached a definitive return in my possible audio experiments. Another partial preseason is that I kind of able to pr...

Interesting, mats.The unit is not “complex device with many settings”. All those settings have own meaning and if you know how a tuner works then there is absolutely nothing menacing in those adjustments. You went for R...

After the endless battles with bad electricity, great news that you have found one, and possibly two, good solutions. I can vouch for the terrible electrical infrastructure and great radio stations Boston has to offer. Some days my system sounds pr...

[quote user="DOT*SYSTEM"] OK Romy, I get it. You may believe that the act of the DVD-A creation software will alter the music bits as seen by the transport/DAC. I believe the software is only encapsulating the data into the DVD-A binary image. [/...

While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio
format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For
one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be
recovered with error correction algorithms...
