I also like the convenience of playback via computer with ripped files. Theoretically, at least, and in my experience, if the cd is ripped properly, the sound quality is better than a cd player. The reason I think so is that no cd pl...

I do not know the Lapmpizator but from what I have seen at his site I would not invest a lot into his assessment of sound. Those people, like most of those audio-DIY people, do not any sonic objectives and their actions are just a series of endl...

I have been looking forward to build my own dedicated passively cooled, Windows based source, with external power supplies and SSD drive, based on an HFX Classic case, or even better, the HFX Mini Metal, sometime towards the summer of next year. See ...

I spend my time/effort/money to get a good sound from computer or MacBook.my trial and error proved me that I could not attack CEC TL0-X by Computer Audio.I also lost my money 4500$ in ordering external PSU to Paul Hynes. Paul is not trusted and do n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Be advised that any pro-computer playback in this there will be objected...[/quote]OK, I'll bear this in mind...I think computer playback is fraught with issues. Even a simple thing like the type of hard-drive used affects ...

Due to this thread, I called the friend upon whose boat I heard the Vox Olympian in order to find out precisely which DCS DAC he was using with his TLOX to get the sound that I found so remarkable. It turns out that whilst the DCS unit was indeed pre...

I'm very inexperienced but I still try to observe things around me carefully. Here's what I'm getting at what can be potentially pretty good.. Well, all I can really say is I've been mostly interested in the design implementations of companies such a...

Romy said:"I am talking about that “slippery sound” when sonic granularity goes all that way down (positive thing) but along with loosing granularity the transport for the ‘events delivering” is also diminishes (negative thing)."Romy, I have for some...

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is very good beginning. W...

Recently I found a way to make Lavry DA-924 to sound reasonable driven by my 16-bit CD transport. That made 3 DACs available to AD my 16-bit digital steam: Pacific, Lavry and Bidat. If Bidat and Pacific sound virtually identical then Lavry has very d...

Josh, I admit I pretty much ass-u-me things sound bad until proven otherwise, because that's how it's gone for the 55 years or so I've been at this. Still, these are just the sorts of speakers I'd go out of my way to hear, given 1/2 a chance. Ironi...

[quote user="Jorge"] Anyway a couple of months ago a friend brought over a modded Denon multiplayer, I dont remember the model (I could look it up), it was highly modded, we were testing it with a projector and its Blue Ray capabilities, he then i...

[quote user="miab"] Do you think the Bidat will be back before the move for impressions on the mods? It might be hard to tell what/if the mods make a difference in a positive directions if you throw a whole new room into it. Your experimental control...

[quote user="Paul S"]Again, you might gain something by fastening the rack to adjacent walls and adjusting the tension and/or damping of those connections. In any case, you'll want to prevent swaying of a TT support, and likely a CD transport, as wel...

There are lots of different types of "sand", including various sizes and shapes of the aggregates, not to mention the constituent materials, themselves. I thought that in most cases the idea of in-frame sand is to quench/diffuse "ringing", not ULF. O...

I just came back from Stereophile Show in NYC. A couple of observations. Haniwa's FPIC-100 DSP seems to be nothing but a typical DSP with digital crossover/equalizer/delay with auto feedback through a microphone set at the liste...

You and I must be of the very few that find CD-R copied discs sounding worse than an original CD, most people find no differences or better sound in copied discs.I have a Marantz Pro recorder (631 I believe) and as a transport is pure crap, not even ...

It is one of those curious facts that Golden Ages generally occur quite early in the process of some domain of activity and then things slowly go downhill. In other words the Golden Age is followed by the Silver Age then the Bronze Age then the Slag ...

Guys,The purpose of the exercise is to get the best possible results from my existing collection of Red Book CDs - I have them, so I may as well use them, purchased en masse as they were during the rather overstated "demise" of vinyl - whilst providi...

Thanks guys. It's interesting to hear such perspectives, especially upon computer audio; to go by the "audiophile press", high-res computer files are the best thing since that proverbial sliced bread - just like DVDAudio, HDCD, SACD etc were - so muc...

[quote user="Antonio J."]So I thought my tuner weren't properly adjusted. It has not been serviced nor recently aligned, I have no proficient technicians around who I depend to let them put their hands into the tuner. The damn thing always ...

I hope i could have a comparison between New Audio Note UK CDT-Six Transport and the CEC TL0 3.0.
Audio Note CDT-6 is not in iran and it is very expensive around 153k$ .
I hope i could have CDT-6 to compare with CEC TL0 3.0 .

I do not know what happen between amplifier and speaker but I think matching of amplifier and speaker is one of the most important things is audio.
matching is not just about dynamics/driving or having enough power , it is about perfec...

Finally took on my mis-tracking CD transport, an Accustic Arts Drive 1 (Philips CD Pro 2 drive unit). I had looked online and I had the feeling my problem, at its root, might be caked grease on the optical reader rails, as I have had the thing for so...

As I reported at GSC, my CD transport started acting up (skipping) quite a while ago, at a time when I was unable to deal with it. I thought at first I had ruined several CDs by playing them in my car, but that turned out to be a coincidence. When I ...

[quote user="Stitch"]Romy, to be honest, I lost interest in those super expensive digital units after all those years. I had some and after some time I realized that they are good for the Ego but are not able to survive a longer time. Possible that t...

I'm not sure I'm clear what you're saying . . . if we're talking about using a CD mechanism to read files in real-time, during playback, we're entering a world of pain. Engineered solutions to the problems thus presented are expensive and specialised...

A site visitor took the Lapmpizator idea on and did what the Lapmpizator proposed. He found that sonically Lapmpizied CEC was “bit annoying and thin sounding” and the default configuration “produced sounds that are better defined in space. Mea...

Thank you Joaco for your reply. I was hoping tubes could ameliorate the brutal sound many CDP exhibit. I was at an audio fair recently and heard a Tentlab player with the Philips CD Pro mech and tube output that had a kind of gentle sound very unlike...

Well, another page of my saga with APS regenerator is turned. I got the updated APS unit. It kind of “works” as I redefined the definition of word “works”. Under normal circumstances I would walk away from it but there are some moments in my “bad ele...
