If you are going to build such a huge cabinet or put a hole in the floor to use the basement as a chamber, why not just build horns in the basement with a straight 8-10 foot section in the basement with the back chamber resting on the floor, cut...

It might not be necessarily the new wire. With analog there are other billion reasons why it might not sound as it should. Still, I personally can’t stay listening “new” wire with MC cartridges. If you recently futzed with the arm wire then you...

[quote user="Amir"]I listened one time (just one time) to master tape (revox reel).micro harmonic was so better than dCS Elgar (digital source) and it was better in micro dynamic. i did not tested good DSD in a good DAC vs good analog but in micro li...

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] 1) It is not strictly audio project but it kind of related: I need to move my audio site out of my static IP DSL line to a data center. I have high-speed ADSL but the site has a lot of traffic and my crappy DSL li...

[quote user="zanon"]Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?[/quote]Absolutely not, it is not what I meant. I meant that the only advant...

The Model Two's manual states:Note: It is recommended that the Monitor Output Level be set close to +18 dBu to providethe best combination of digital resolution and analog output stage performance.Surely, it's just too much of a coincidence that a re...

Over a number of years I come across a number versions of Van den Hul’s write up. It is very mildly controversial (very mildly) but still it is a wonderful read for amy analog user. http://www.goodsoundclub.com/pdf/Phono_FAQ.pdf ...

Yes Paul, one would assume this BUT we have a generation of digital recordings where „digital“ is blamed for bad glaring sound - caused by the microphone mismatch. They were recorded and mastered by the analog engineers - maybe they were not so golde...

I do not think that this division on analog and digital is right. The true division should but not about type of frond end but about a type of PS. If you have any switching PS then I would isolated them in a dedicated line. The division also might ...

Yesterday I spent most of the day to play with my IB, trying
to make it to sound the way how I like. I
pretty much wanted to re-implement on analog level that surprisingly good result
I got with digital crossover. So, I have built my along crosso...

Clearly, if to retain LP or CD source and analog-fed stereo main speakers, there is the matter of backwards compatibility with any added DSP RI enhancement. From the 8 things list, it looks like current Auro is backward compatible with 5.1 surround e...

So what is with the ferrite beads? Do you find they are necessary? Seems to me the resistors right on the socket would be good enough. Especially with the grounding of the center pins. I run beads all the time in my digital si...

Michael Fremer has been called a very unpleasant personality. Seeing this post of his, I can see why. Of course he is playing a con game, just like all of Stereophile is. There is no doubt about that. Anyone who embraces analog over digital has got b...

Thanks, Scooter, I will check it out. Meantime, I thought I should put a "recognizable" header on/in the thread... At this point I am "ready" for DSP at ULF; but I still "draw the line" at that... so far...I suppose that part of the "problem" is ...

From Larvy Site:Features like a USB input, programmable settings, infrared remote capability, and the proprietary >PiC< Playback Image Control™ make the DA11 more than just a great sounding DA converter. In keeping with the Lavry Engineering tr...

Actually, Eduardo, I disagree.
Although I do concur with many of your proposals but I insist that the mistakes that people make in their analog vs. digital thinking are purely methodological and those mistakes that disqualify their conclusi...

[quote user="manisandher"] Have you tried this yet? If so, in percentage terms, how close do you think the digitized signal is to the original analog signal? (This is something that I'm hoping to try myself at some point, but I don't have a good ...

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.

RomyHere is something that looks like what you describe, I do not know if it is the quality or performance you are looking for. But he does offer a 30 day in home trial. http://www.blueberryhillaudio.com/products/analog-evolution.html...

In fact, digital recording allows the industry to process easily every musical material (a very powerful exchange-tool). Unfortunately, digital recordings are also highly corruptible in the musical-expresive potential as you point...

The size, I can understand.But can't you simply take the tape out from your Placette and plug it into the Pacific's analog inputs? I'm assuming that the Placette has, in addition to its variable output, a fixed output...Surely this would help wit...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...
