Hi Paul! I'm sorry but I simply can't make any sense of what you are asking....Anyway, all the software has been designed by Paul R, I had no contribution here(Paul has contacted me asking for sampel of my EMT when the soft was already done)and is ba...

Any computer does absolute the same level of universality by being a digital file player. My telephone does it but I do not call my telephone a “digital transport”. Ripping CD it is not what your devise does but the fr...

1) I play a CD on an 'excellent' CD transport. I take the digital output from this (spdif or AES) and connect it to a PC interface (a Lynx or RME card). I capture the digital output on the PC as a .wav file using Wavelab or something similar.2) I...

Arno, I have plenty at my site that describes in great detains why and what I do not like in idea of single driver with back-loaded horn. Build it and hear what you will be getting. The software you are irrelevant. There are no intended or not inte...

Romy, As you have noted elsewhere, SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I didn't think the one bit idea originated with Meitner but came from Sony execs. I t...

Hi Romy,I am new to your site. I have read some of your postings (including other sites) with much gusto.For the digital LP recording, I am (was) tempted to do the same, but given the fact that I have absolutely no personal experience in digital audi...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

Romy: you found your CD transport sounded better than a CD-ROM drive, is that right? That seems reasonable. But you've not stated what computer the CD-ROM drive was attached to . . .In an audio computer, the CD-ROM drive is really, really irrelevant:...

It's a very novel sensation for me to be arguing that 'bits are bits'! But its very simple to prove categorically that the binary data on the disc is identical to the ripped version.More importantly, where there are errors, they are punctiliar and ra...

Hello Romy!I suspect that Sony intentionally astablished a poor conversion algorithm, as well. I don`t think there more than a hand full SACDs that have a separately recorded/mastered PCM layer, maybe some more that use an other (non-Sony) ...

Hi Romy,I've downloaded the files, which have the w64 extension. This AFAIK is a propietary Sony's Soundforge format. I've played them with that software, but it won't accept playing using the "bypass" to use only souncard's routines and uses Windows...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="Telstar"] I meant that the Lynx digital output may retain some noise from the computer, not that you get noise from the onboard soundcard (provided that you have one -You have onboard audio disabled in the bios...

Sure I am!!!! Just tell me where to get those free transfers hahahaha ;-) Unfortunately I don't have interesting dubs from my local broadcasts as yet to share, but hopefully there will be some soon. Maybe in a couple of months, but don't expect great...

Dear Romy,Thanks for the information that the sinewave form is only generated when the battery power takes over. The pdf is a good article. I did more research today and located a schematic which backs up what you have said despite t...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

R,More interesting observations there. Your Lowther thoughts are similar to mine - I always wondered what a lower flux version would sound like, but non-horn loaded and whizzerless a la Horning. Even got round to obtaining some magnet-less motor...

[quote user="TonyB"]What does Linx16 card do in your tuner recording set up? Do the digital A/D signals only pass through Linx16 or do they get buffered in PC RAM and then go to the Linx16 digital output? Tuner audio sounded very similar directl...

Does anyone know if exist any Gaussmeters that have no own indication but would be powered from a serial port of a computer and dump data back to PC into some kind of to custom software? It is not that I do not what to pay $300-$400 but that I do not...

Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt to brag that "We us...

Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

I put a couple small files form today broadcast. Generally I screed it up and I have learned later on that some of the sound cards setting might be better, the recording level at the AD was 8dB less then it should be and as it turned out that I have ...

Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS 2.2 XP AAA room-corrector...

For horns mounted on or near the floor, we have a phantom image below the floor plane. In theory, this means we could make that horn a half circle or similar, with a tremendous advantage in real estate. The theoretical advantages of reduced diffracti...

I understand your recommendation and agree. I need to have upper bass and MF and than see how to merge fundamental channel in between.So, I better postpone experiments with compression drivers and only compare 12" Supravox in two horns: 42Hz 2m long ...

Now, this subject made me remember (apparently) Supermicro do custom motherboards, even just one.Would be interesting to try a very minimal motherboard with a very low clocked processor, PCIe M.2 support (or even DOM module), RDIMM, and with just a I...

[quote user="N-set"]Anthony, I'm sure you realize that air springs and bearings can only isolate from the structure born vibrations. Placing the tubes so close to the speakers you give them a great chance to catch strong airborne vibrations. Or will ...

Anthony, irrespectively of all the extreme acrobatics you are doing with the inner damping and the structural isolation, sound wave hitting your tubescan multiply all your work by zero. As simple as that. Big tubes = big inner structure structure = l...
