| Which file is better to rip cd's to itunes They are all lossless, so they will be identical for playback quality. The only difference is Apple Lossless is compressed, whereas WAV and AIFF are uncompressed, so will take less disc space. | |
| J River and choosing encoder. Here's what you're not getting. .WAV is a wrapper file for PCM, or uncompressed digital. All other formats are compressed, but a lossless compression scheme will preserve all detail once they are decoded. Therefore, all lossless formats will sound... | |
| Adding a maple platform to an existing wood rack Sorry, but "isolate" may not be the right word. A maple platform doesn't isolate anything. Put a maple platform on a vibrating chair. Then put a cup on top of it. Does it vibrate in the exact same way? That is because solid connection to a vibrati... | |
| WAV versus FLAC The placebo effect is the greatest enemy to the audiophile... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? The problem with coupling is it works both ways, regardless of the direction of the spike. Draining vibrations could just as well introduce external vibrations into the system, such as from the woofer, road noise... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Your tiny electronic vibrations in your player likely isn't going to be in a frequency you can hear, but I doubt that would convince you. The science behind coupling is to make the entire system as heavy as possible -- with more mass, the resonant... | |
| Im looking for Speakers/Sub to play rap mostly If you need bass, then get a subwoofer or two, in my opinion. The monitors can be whatever. | |
| Is this Placebo or something real? Mceljo: The ceramic ball might couple when it is sitting still, but it was definitely designed as a spring/damper along the horizontal axis. The ball will roll up the incline in the small "cup" given enough displacement, then gravity will act as d... | |
| Is this Placebo or something real? Internet = internal. Sorry, typo. | |
| Is this Placebo or something real? I'm not an engineer, but this sounds like placebo to me. The concept of the Nordost Sort Kones is very simple and works exactly the same way as all other products of its class. The ceramic ball damps and decouples vibrational energy from within th... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? I have a bridge to sell you... | |
| Best speakers for home theater/voice clarity? I compared a Denon and Pioneer Elite receiver at the $1000 price-point 2 years ago and found that the Denon lacked intelligibility. In my opinion, this has as much to do with the amp, or the room, than anything. | |
| Granite under wood for better isolation? No, unless you have some visco-elastic feet or springs under your turntable, what you are actually doing is coupling (*not* isolating) your turntable to these materials. And every time you add another platform, you are introducing additional natur... | |
| oppo bdp 83 with integra 9.8 processor I would use the ABT2010 for film detection. | |
| the oppo 83 special edition as a transport Why bother with the special edition if you're just going to use it as a transport? You know that only the analog stage and dac was upgraded, right? |
