As I said: most debates on the subject that I ever heard so far are not accurate representation of Analog vs. Digital dilemma. The same as the discussion in this thread about the “natural continuous process”, the “discrete process” and the “brain re...

[quote user="noviygera"]I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have have a good sounding DSP for crossover and delay functionality. I know this subject was covered here before but what was talked about is this DSP is not that good, and th...

You might think I'd learn by now, but over the last two days I have traced sonic problems to the following: Dirty pins on one of the tubes in my phono stage; Loose counterweight set screw/too-heavy VTF; Loose cartridge mounting screw/...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

OK, no one argue that FM is good BUT the cost and complexity to record doe FM is quite high. It look like that it might not be more simple – to turn your tuner, to turn your A/D, to tune your DAW and to record whatever you wish. Well, l it is surpris...

The title of this thread would appear laughable for anyone who practices audio more than a week. This is as beaten subject as Tubes vs. SS or Mosfet vs. Bipoloar. However, with all my awareness about the popular Analog vs. Digital debate I with a...

[quote user="steverino"]FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. B...

If you're sure you're not going to do the DA or AD conversion in the
card, then the AES16 is all you need. However, if you might want to try
just using the AD conversion on the cards (which might be just fine,
hard to say without trying), then you...

Allo Antonio,
I think for the UK it's 2012. Also, hHere in London the only classical station worth listening to if you ask me is BBC Radio 3. So a TU-X1 and Lavry would be something of an enormous investment all things considered. I'm fairly sure we...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Dear Romy, thanks for your comment. I actually don't want the mat to do "something" for me sonically, but to teach me how far I'm I of my ideal. Knowing your goals and taking for granted that the 8000's platter must be rather...

I bought today a fresh copy of “The Absolute Sound” #151. Did not really meant o read but rather meant as usually to glide among the pictures and to learn which audio whore drool about a “new” bogus products. I seldom read the articles more the a few...

I am very jealous of people who buy a decently designed turntable that does not cost an arm an a leg, and can be satisfied with it for life. That first step they took, going from direct-driven, plastic tonearm and throw away cart TT, to a belt d...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I personally more inclined to have “accurate” sound and word accuracy is more implies to a playback accurately and fatefully render the essence of musical events. Pay attention – not accurately play the input signal, not ac...

[quote user="Stitch"]In Germany are a few analog groups, some build their turntable with a piece of wood and a knife and think it is great, some prefer old Linn, Garrads, Thorens as the only, real solution to listen to and others refuse to listen to ...

People asked me: Romy why don’t you try to transfer some analog to digital and see what happen. I was queries myself and I decided to try tonight.
Whatever I did was in a way half-ass but I was interested in “as is” result. Although the attem...

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...

Here is my second attempt to make ad-hog analog transfers. The file is 280 Meg in 167kH and 24 bit. Do not download it if you can’t not play 167kH. The file is 0.5dB hotter then it shall be and has some clipping. I wonder if somebody would be able to...

Interesting discussion. I am now thinking of John Wright, the guy who mods the (old...) Museatex DACs to get the best sound overall that I've heard from digital sources. Sure, he has his patent approach to deciphering digital, but John has always sa...

Romy, during my own quest for a center channel I met (the late) James Bongiorno, all of which I've written about before at GSC. James was a passionate proponent of the center channel, and to that end he developed the Trinaural Processor, which is ana...
