Some are more compressed, and more EQ'd, some are less. Really depends on who is doing the remastering and who they perceive as their target audience. T... | |
| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation I have read this article a few times, and the author is not wrong, but it applies to a very small percentage of music that is created every year around the world. If you think all music sounds the same you really need to change the station. Best,E | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible Room acoustics and speaker placement are the first places to go looking. If the speakers sound great 2' away, but harsh by the time you are sitting down, this is why. Bare floors, and reflections between and behind the speakers can also make this ... | |

| Accuphase Vs Parasound isn’t the DAC on the P6 the same as the one on the parasound integrated? According to the president, no. In an e-mail to me he wrote that the P6 DAC was there for convenience, but he was quite proud of the DAC in the integrated. I haven’t looked a... | |
| Accuphase Vs Parasound I am a big fan of Parasound, and the amp is a great starting point. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. The P6 however is not all that either as a pre or DAC. The P7 is a much better Pre, and the Parasound integrated has a better DAC. Best,E | |
| Would someone please explain how 'gain' functions? Gain is a voltage multiplier from input to output. -6 dB gain = output half of input0 dB gain = No change. 6 dB gain = output twice input. Gain is expressed in voltage decibels (dB) which directly translate to SPL dB. So if you used a sound level ... | |
| Speakers for a very large room? I was not familiar with JBL Studio Monitors until you gave your strong recommendation for them. I am sure they sound just fantastic in your set up.OP: I think there is a misunderstanding. 1 - It was not a "strong recommendation." It was a sugges... | |
| Speakers for a very large room? Start with GIK acoustics. they give great advice, and have the best price / performance.That will make your room match wiht a much wider range of speakers than you would otherwise. Have you thought about some JBL studio monitors? | |
| Hypex N core module All Class-D’s today have the same problem. The switching frequency is too low to be filtered out effectively completely with the Class-D’s output filter, without effecting the upper mids and highs. A statement George loves to repeat without pract... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Clark calls regular asynchronous USB interfaces ’non optimal’ because the ground noise that is inevitable with computer sources pollutes the clock and the DAC in the receiver. Except that it is completely preventable with standard isolation t... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? er, I shoudl have clarified : "I now own a DAC with a very good clock which behaves about the same whether from USB or S/PDIF. It also makes Redbook sound much better than my previous DAC. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? aux:I've had a DAC which behaved much better via USB than other inputs. I now own a DAC that behaves similarly. I think it's very much about implementation of the jitter and re-clocking interfaces as a whole. The DAC which behaved much better via ... | |
