| CD Clubs -Press their own CD's? ...that's just what I thoght it is, Gs5556! -- Very informative and I am now more shure that I'm not nuts | |
| 24/96 or 24/192 If you're onto listening regular CDs -- there should not be any difference except that extra oversampling will "forgive" most of badly recorded CDs and make them sound nicer than they have to.If you will get a collection of video format CDs than 2... | |
| CD Clubs -Press their own CD's? What I know is BMG labeled CDs are much worse in sound quality than same artist/album non-BMG which gives me an idea that they remanufacture CDs with poor bulk quality. Columbia House is OK in that direction since they trade with originally presse... | |
| Electrical gurus please help.... 1. Hospital grade sockets are always better because in addition to industrial they're designed to be quiet. 2. Most likely PS Audio powerplant will not handle your AVR due to the lack of delivered power. It's only for CD/DVD-player, turntable moto... | |
| High output dacs/CD players For most power amps 2v input is close-to-peak voltage. Anything higher than that has to be attenuated. Very often there is no need for active preamp for that reason. Just make sure that you have input impedance of the poweramp ~10x output impedanc... | |
| Passive Preamp Project vol. II Bingo! That's what I've ment! -- Right onto the point Justilisten! | |
| Why so many Power plants for sale? Power regeneration like on PS audio powerplants is good for low power sources but not for power amplifiers or expencive tube CD players or phono-stages since it doesn't have that capability to deliver enough power into. In fact it seems more and m... | |
| speaker cables with a warm sound As far as I've heard, Nirvana has a very worm "black" background and it's very friendly to the tube outputs | |
| Perpetual Tech Dac vs DCS or Wadia Dacs I agree with Sattothestars since my EAD DSP 7000 mkII will easyly outperform 2 PT plastic matchboxes together. | |
| Problems with Passive Preamp, please Help I think that there is nothing wrong with impedance matching. the input sencitivity of the power amp has to be <=500mV@1Khz in order to be able to operate 3V output from DAC with passive preamp. | |
| 25 foot bi-wire speaker cables that won't bust the bank? I am against Kimber 8tc since they have a very high capacity that is not suitable for some amplifiers + it's an addition of extra capacity into the speaker circuit that will certainly change the freequency curve. I would suggest to go for monobloc... | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? The direct drive turntables do not have a belt wearing and pick up faster.Sonically there are disadvantages only. | |
| Tube or SS DAC/Player with Tube Preamp? Since technically SS output is matched with any input impedance I would go for SS. It is not guaranteed that it'll sound better than tube since we all have different ears. On my opinion most of the tube designs have colouration of sound rather tha... | |
| Why a transport over a CD player? In your situation I would prefere to get a good quality dedicated CD transport. Having a good quality DAC means that you will hear all digital "dirt" that is comming out of the bad CD-transport/player. The integrated designs just seem not to have ... | |
| Seek Integrated for 1000 dollars, new / used, suggestions? I agree with Gunbei and DR_joe on the choice of amps.I am from New York too and I wouldn't go to Sound By Singer because they have all products highly overpriced. |
