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...

Romy,You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software?Thats interesting!!! It means that it is better to read once in a 'good' way than ten times to read garbage and average it.So, all th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to admit that some of my opponents might consider my organizational views on high-end audio too socialistic and will recognize in my view some residues of me growing up in socialistic society. Leaving aside the preju...

It has been changed. Looking at the extend of my record collection, the efforts I went with my TT setup and my “End of the Life Phonostage” it would be hardly expected from me to be somebody else a die-hard vinyl dude but it is what it is. Those feel...

It is know that many music people do not get audio. The subject was zillion times discussed among all imaginary people and different people offer different explanation of the phenomena. I do not find that any “phenomena” exists in all but you do not...

I spoke recently with an audio guy who gourmet himself as advanced audio fellow and I was stricken how in fact banal and dull his audio interests are. I asked him: what in your view the high-end audio starts? He suggested that it starts with ability ...

Amy the wife has that notion that I have to make violins. Being with me, listening my constant comments how different technical aspens of audio impacts expressive signatures of sound she developed a feeling that I could be a good violin maker. I do u...

It is kind of unexpected to me but over the last 2 weeks I have developed a great interest in our new piano. Nope, I still do not play peas and have no interest to learn but I do find a lot of pleasure to make our piano to sound in the way I want. I ...

I think it was Wagner who first incorporated in his composition the concept of masking. He felt that during loud sounds people are losing ability to recognize the instrumental complexity. Later on during the stupid mp3 times or digital compression, o...

This is very interesting subject. As many times I went to live concerts with somebody I never remember that a person was listening problem. There were people who underdressed or over-dress, the people who over-used perfume, the damp people who read ...

While there is some idiocy reported in this article, the founders are clearly of good heart. Only, no one seems to be listening to classical music.

I do not classify audiophiles by their components. I 100% agree most horn owners may be in first group or many tube lovers be in the first group.Audio components are just our tools and those classification (i do not look at it as classification) refe...

My audio IS a musical event. If we remove the musical appreciation, what are we playing back? Why is playback even important? To feed our ego?The relation of the recorded event to the playback is different, but the relation to my senses share many of...

Amir,an audio event can be anything that our ears hear. It can be live music, a baby crying, a recording, playback in the car.Playback is much different than live music - especially if we are familiar with the recording. First of all, stereo does not...

I wonder why audio people do not WORK with their playbacks. This subject always annoyed me. Let pretend an audio person build up some kind of playback installation. It is irrelevant what would it be: a huge vintage Bell Labs system, a contempora...

Got the card and installed it. It dose works nice, the sound however is not good. It mish be used to run an instrumental microphone (it is how I will be using it) into it and it defiantly works better then the stock laptop card (noise etc) but from s...

I always felt that my demands for quality of Audio Sound might be to degree be moderated by conducting efforts. The true enigma for me is this aspect is John Barbirolli. Barbirolli is one of my the most admired conductors of mine and he is one ve...

Never heard of them. Funny how many many many interesting DACs exist and you (the buyer) have not the slightest idea on how they may sound....

I tried this particular device. It is quite convenient, though I did not do enough critical listening to elaborate on its quality. M-Audio makes few external soundcards that are quite good....

Continuing my observation about the Timbres and Audio.From what I said above it is very important to understand that Timbres in Audio are not the photographic density of the colors themselves but rather an ability of a photograph to differentiate...

Ah, eventual a good reply! So, you feel that your powerful SET project is good because it can be “build in reality, test and draw some conclusions”. Being a pragmatic Jew I am very much on the same page. However, the moment that you are missing in my...

If to compose oneself, the Reality is a restless, moving awareness that does not stay satisfied. How much is "improvement" and how much is change-for-itself is not so easy to judge at any given time. Horns or direct drivers, we want to create and r...

Well, they got John Curl's name on it, and it's "machined from a billit", 2-chasses, yadda, yadda. It also features the "new wave" balanced/presumed- differential topology and a "mystery"/proprietary (presumed discrete) first stage. Likely, it will...
