Audiophile grade analog to digital converter
Everything dCS seams to be DSD, which won't work. I'm looking at these things and considering their use for vinyl transfer.But I think I have to agree with Shadorne, and the CEDAR ADA is the best unit to use. 
Restoration Suite vs. Restoration Bundle
Onhwy61, you haven't missed anything except that I don't intend to get any specialised hardware unless it lets me use noticably better software - and I don't own either currently. I was thinking of using Lynx hardware to do the audio capture and u... 
ELP laser turntable - any comments?

Future of analog controlled class 'D' amps?
You could never have a Universal Class D tube amplifier? 
Future of analog controlled class 'D' amps?
UcD = Universal class D. which is a technology, not a company, invented by the man who wrote the article I linked to.I think Bruno was much too pesimistic, a couple of companies have purchased a license to this technology and I'm sure there will b...

HD radio and old antennas
This does bring up the big problem that some people were predicting with HD FM - the effective reception range of the digital broadcast will be quite short. 
HD radio and old antennas
Does the FM Pro work well if the amplifier is off? 
HD radio and old antennas
The Terk antennas are a bit more involved than dandified dipoles. It's just that they made sure to slip in the term "digital ready" on their newer models.And Warnerwh you are incorrect about the quality of the broadcast. An HD FM station can broad... 
DVD-A vs. SACD
Time for me to eat crow here - I just looked at the back of one of my "ultradiscs" (gold CD) again and it says analog analog digital. So the analog mastered ultradisc sounds better than the newer 24/96 mastered greatest hits CD. 
Bang for buck turntable?
