A few months back a local audio guy advised me to use cPlay to pay files from my DAW. I installed it and was not too thrilled with it sound. Recently I updated to the new version:

I have to admit that my first unsuccessful experiment with APS PurePower regenerator made me anxious like hell. In context of the none-loaded unit I’ve heard some results that I was searching for a long time. The APS claim that they have “fixed” it a...

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

Hi, Max.
When you say “WAV file X burned on CD-R” then the question would be what was the source of those files? If you have a row source with some kind of A/D and if you intend to stay with 44 then 44/20 is OK format, do not stay with for 16 Bit. H...

First of all this post is NOT related to the recent PP2000 problems but it has a border, general view.
The recent LX’s posts made me to think about the PP2000 buttery. He reports that his buttery got way weaken from 2009. I used my older PP200...

[quote user="peter foster"] I would probably start testing using TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) as a first option. [/quote]
If you have the FIXED output then it is all “tweaking” that you need to do. Bothe of my TU-X1 were export version and both outputs w...

It is a recursive subject at my site that the sad state of music/audio industry is not due to some cosmic or social reasons but due to the very specific and very idiotic actions of very specific individuals who run the i...

I don't see why you wouldn't just buy as many external firewire drives as you need, and simply daisy chain them together.
I have done this using the above-mentioned LaCie 1/2 TB drives, via FW800 (they will accept USB 2.0, and SATA as well)... Be...

[quote user="Merlin"]Romy,
if you see my post you will notice that I mentioned I did not know of any drive units that could successfully be employed. Can you list some?

[quote user="MusicLover"] Higher even order distortion sounds richer and makes the sound "more live" to most people. YOu can get that anywhere in the signal chain. [/quote]

Phil Gold wrote in his EMM review the following:

Scott,This process has little if any effect upon harmonic distortion. Using a Liberty Audio test suite, it is possible to find some very minor trade off from odd order to even order distortion. But, if it is indeed occurring, it is so small as to b...

Romy,
I too was thinking the subject had evolved to the point where the thread needed splitting off.
I agree with you regarding the need to start off by constructing of a pair of “normal” Melquiades as a reference.
I don’t mind the fact that...

Yes, they are appearing to be the same sensitively.

It is astonishing: what “scooter” wrote in his “Ultra box” post above is what I would write myself.
Anyhow, Charlus when you wrote about “single DAC possessing virtues entirely harmonious with all three sources” then I very much understand wh...

Romy,
Please accept my apologies for my first posting on your website. I had only perused a couple pages and may have come to an incorrect conclusion. While it is human nature to lock onto an idea and dogmatically pursue it, those in touch w...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...
