| Speaker grills on or off? i saw a report in the net years ago. it's an independent test using a microphone placed at a normal listening position, using scientific software and recording equipment to access the difference with speakers grills on and off. The results clearly... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Thanks Charles! i understand your description and preference in sound, hence " no absolute best when it comes to audio components.

| Reliabilty, Keeping Equipment Powered on or off? If they (audio equipments) are designed to handle those conditions, then of course , it should be left on without problems. It's those equipments that use poor quality parts that have "borderline" specifications on heat, current, mechanical tole... | |

| When will there be decent classical music recordings? No matter how good and big the room is, it will not make a average recording come alive. I believe the COST of making records sound great from big scale works or orchestra are the primary contraint. The venue from where the music are recorded play... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? "mic every instrument individually, and then have the conductor work with audio engineers to bring the piece back to life."it's not a nightmare, it can be done. the best solution is to store the individual instrument recordings as master.
