| Synergistic Red Fuse ... stevecham: "In Search of the Multiverse" by John Gribbin is excellent. Very accessible, and mind-bending. One of the best science books I’ve ever read.georgelofi: I agree. I’ve been following this thread on and off and I think these guys would get... | |

| Should I buy a Class A Amp. Atmasphere I've never heard one of your amps (I live in New Zealand) but from what I've read they would indeed do just as well on rock as on classical or jazz. Same with the big Pass amps. They're very expensive though, and when you get down to th... | |
| Analog playback on computer. I've been getting my feet wet in computer audio lately and have been impressed by what's possible. Recording my vinyl from preamp into MacBook using Audacity, then playing it back via Audirvana Plus through a Dac Destroyer into Sony MDR-1R headpho... | |
| Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue Nope, I have OCD, and the cartridge was perfectly set up. Maybe it was a bad stylus, who knows, but it definitely had IGD. The Blue on the same table did not. | |
| Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue Yeah, true. Ragged is the wrong adjective. It's ragged on worn records on the inner grooves is what I meant, whereas the Blue is always smooth. Considering how long a stylus lasts I think the Blue, for the sake of an extra hundred bucks or so, rep... | |
| Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue They have a similar sound but the Red is slightly ragged and has bad inner groove distortion. The Blue has no IGD and sounds more refined. It will also play worn records which are unlistenable with the Red. Totally worth it if you have lots of sec... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! Have you tried rolling some different 6922s in your preamp? | |
| Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp? Recording engineers don't always put the singer centre-stage. More often than not, but not always. Sometimes they will alter the singer's volume on one channel so that they're slightly off. You can hear this on side two of Shriekback's Big Night M... | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? Thanks for your input gentlemen, sorry I haven't replied for so long, I haven't been on this site. Just to clarify, I absolutely don't discount that the power amp is crucial to the sound. My throwaway comment was more to do with how insanely expen... | |
| Audiogon : Banner ads in Chinese on my IPad ???? Hi Mike, the easiest solution is to install an adblocker on your browser. Go into the itunes store and search for "adblock plus". Removes all ads from everything. | |
| Upsampling - but seriously folks Having played around obsessively with the settings on Audirvana+, I find no upsampling to deliver a more accurate sound in terms of timbre, as well as better imaging. Upsampling to my ears sounds initially thrilling and seductive but ultimately an... | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? Thanks for your replies everyone. On reflection I think my decay observation was probably wrong judging by reviews I've subsequently read, but there was something weird about my tripath amp that I couldn't put my finger on. Buggered if I know what... | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? As far as I can hear, proper decay is the only issue that class d has. Every other box is ticked, and then some. I'm not shilling for anyone, just hoping I can get a power amp for $600 that is orders of magnitude cheaper than a PassLabs and 90% of... | |
| Shopping for speakers at $1500-$2000 is a chore. Tekton Lores are well within your budget. I haven't heard them but they're considered by many to be a hands down winner at that price point. |
