I looked what is around and I did not like whatever I see. The industry music server machines are all crap and mostly made to copy CDs and to play them from semi-intelligent applications. My requirements are very specific and not of the existing mac...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know what you are trying to do, why do you need the Lynx card, why is need to be modified and what does it mean “powered individually”, the people looks like sell power supply and they push the notion of individual...

This year is the first winter that I live with this new listening room. Last winter the playback was up and I still was playing with minor arrangements of my ULF channels, cable and a few other things. For many months I do pretty much nothing with my...

[quote user="nycparamedic"] But you also might have overlooked some variables that frustrate many audiophile attempting this approach. Was Kmixer in Windows changing the sampling rate of your music? If you installed ASIO or that other plugin, was it ...

Well, I did some research and consulted with my network people and it looks like it might be unfortunately-expensive project. Still it will not be what I want.
They recommended me to go for what they call NAS (network attach storage). It tuned out t...

op.9,
perhaps I am missing something but what would be a difference between this “Sound Strobe” gismo and a regular good sound generator (that will do a lot of more). I still do not get what this devise does and how it might be used but I wond...

The excellent post, morricab! There is secondary point in your post - the core saturation is not the fundamental problem of SETs but it is become an issue when we go for power. If you do not need to drive 92dB sensitive bass drivers with a 6W S...

[quote user="Paul S"] I wonder how many cities have good FM programming and broadcasting? Los Angeles was great, back when I lived in Venice, with interesting stuff going on around the clock. San Diego is quite limited, and I get Bupkis f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
You are not exactly correct about Lynx. First of all my card had no DACs aboard it is just a digital I/O, channels re-mapper and the card’s software. Before I got the card I interviewed quite many technical people about t...

With my FM recordings and with my few other sources to get digital uncompressed files I come to the situation that I need to rearrange the data stoppage for my Digital Audio Workstation (hate the word DAW but it is what they use). I have currently ar...

Wify for a few months harasses me that I stop to spin my records
and should switch to idagio.com. I can not believe that we allow women to vote!
Nevertheless a few days ago I went to Idagio from my DAW and
was surprised with the amount of music...

[quote user="cv"] I bet Yamamura is using non-causal filtering... this is all running off a music server, so could process everything offline. [/quote] Chris, there is no such a thing as “non-causal filtering”. Filtering is filtering, would it d...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Whoever follows the Pacific Microsonics threads, or whoever use Pacific know that both Models one and two have an interesting idiosyncrasy: at maximum sampling rate, when Pacific runs in dual-wire mode, the clock runs at ...
|
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...
|
My backup strategy is kind simple. I have another box filled with hard disk to where I copy data using Beyond Compare. I have also some automation scripts that synchronize some drives between my DAW, my working development machines with the drive...
|
Hm.... I generally late to technology innovations in audio and I am OK with it. As many of you know many of "innovations" in audio are very much shooting to a wrong target and in most of the instances with a wrong dun and wrong ammunition. The new o...

I do not know the available programs but I have a feature that I would like to have. I would not mind to write it myself….
What I would like to have is ability for self-cataloging. I would like when I play something and feed analog line into my DAW,...
|
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...

[quote user="peter foster"] I suggest the following, if you are interested: Select three recordings of varying quality; copy ten minutes of each of the three recordings to Redbook CD; send to me by air mail the CD that contains three ten minute...
|
I do not regularly buy High Resolution files and most of my High Resolution files are my own FM recordings or something that was given to me by other people. I bought no more two dozens of Hi-Res files in past and it was about it. I do not active...

Nycparamedic,
Thanks for your comment. It was interning as I am very far away from the Linux gaily and have absolutely no idea what kind gravitation forces are in play there. Even though I do understand that advantages to run dedicated operation sys...
|
[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...
|
For whatever reason people expressed a lot of interest to Pacific vs. Lavry A/D and I recently got an relatively a large number of emails, including from the people I do not even know, asking me to compare identical analog tracjs and post the foundin...
|
That is it. I have felt that my “moving” project is over. I still have a few things that I am planning to do but the basics are done and the huge disturbances that moving to new home are over. The room is fundamentally us done and the core sound ...

[quote user="darkmoebius"]I asked Jim Hagerman how long it takes to break in interconnects, power cords, speaker, cables, and preamps? He replied - "Usually about 40-50 hours on a FryK. The amps are fastest and get most of the way overnig...

I was laying in bed, fighting with aftermath of a nasty flue, reading. The always “on” Rohde & Schwarz tuner was getting WHRB. The Macondo was up at 3 clicks very softly filing the room with WHRB’s “Cello Challenge” and “20th Century Brass Concer...

This weekend I discover interesting phenomena on which I did not pay attention before. The Montrealian Charles Dutoit conducted this weekend Boston symphony. I was listening the broadcast, recording it as usually. It was very bad. The BSO wind sectio...

I have old PCI Lynx card. I think they do have a new version with PciE, it call Lynx AES16e:

It still despite the PciE will not...

My contra-SACD position is well known but unfortunately as I predicted mode and more SACD recording are being realized and they have already vandalized by SACD format. It look like no one record nowadays on PCM if companies even want to release 2...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The last two weeks I have no preamp in house. I have great vintage EVS attenuators but I can’t use them with Melquiades as they talk with Milq’s input filters absolutely killing sound. The only way I can play music thos...
