| My highest praise - for Audiogon ...which is why baseball is still the game of games...it goes until somebody wins...a lot like this thread... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? No, Sean T. - pedantic is *all* I'm being! Sorry if my writing seems obscure, it's not deliberate. I just tend to write densely (or is it that I'm just a dense writer?!).Or could it be that maybe you're just not closely reading my posts (certainly... | |
| My highest praise - for Audiogon Right, Ivan, just like auctions are. And if it's too hard to display good "gamesmanship" when you lose, better stay off the field! :-) | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Sean T., sorry to second-guess, but your first sentence strikes me as being just a *little* bit confused itself! :-) Tim and I don't disagree about what upsampling is (as opposed to increasing word length), we are just, again, a *little* confused ... | |
| How do you get the "real" feel of music? No: In reality, there is no hope at all of getting the "real" feel of live music through your - or my - or even HP's - stereo system. But much as you may not want to hear it, I think you already know that you could come *a lot* closer with gear ot... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Not to prolong the point, Tim, but why would an interpolation process be needed to generate an extra 8 bits of *random* dither? As I understand it, this dither acts as sort of a "digital bias", and is not related to the actual signal. I think the ... | |
| My highest praise - for Audiogon BTW, I didn't mean to give the impression that I disapprove of the OT system that Audiogon has implemented (although I must admit that I didn't even know about it prior to reading this thread - thanks, Trelja!) - just that I don't agree with vilif... | |
| My highest praise - for Audiogon Agree with all praise of A-Gon, but must agree with Artemus, Driver, and Ryan about the invalidity, in my view, of the auction complaint. I don't understand just where the supposed foul is that Trelja and JC are so upset about, and I *really* don'... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Tim, I thought interpolation *was* "upsampling", whereas increasing word length was accomplished by adding randomly generated dither below the signal level, so it sounds to me like *you* might be confusing two separate things. But then again, what... | |
| Is Your System Better Than the Music You Like? Ivan, I possess two somewhat-vintage equalizers at my disposal, a Soundcraftsman 15 band per channel graphic (complete with noise generator and microphone metering), and a rare Sony Esprit 3 band per channel full parametric (which is built inside ... | |
| Is Your System Better Than the Music You Like? I've long known that I'm in the same boat you describe, except that I own no "audiophile" pressings or such at all. In fact, not only does a lot of the music I love not qualify as even coming close to being recorded with the quality of the "absolu... | |
| HDCD vs. SACD vs. ?? If you want a better-sounding digital source right now, buying some sort of player that handles CD's is the only way to accomplish it - for the forseeable future, as well. There are billions more CD's in the world currently and into the next decad... | |
| MM vs. MC: Sonic Differences? Marakanetz - Just a note: VTA sensitivity should primarily be a function of stylus shape, not generator type. | |
| Will Microsoft kill DVD-A and SACD? I argee with Garfish, CD's with or without HDCD are a low density storage medium by today's standards. For multi-channel music storage they are either too limited in resolution or running time to provide a viable high quality medium. I don't have ... | |
| John Entwistle RIP Not to mention that half of The Ramones are dead now. R.I.P. Dee Dee. |
