| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? Of course, for the computer audio crowd these days, the rage is to remove the pre-amp and just have a good output stage and volume control in the DAC. This is basically the old passive pre-amp idea. I am still of the mind that the pre-amp matters,... | |
| Sonus Faber Wall speaker ??? Good price. I use Concertino's for rears. They have the same drivers, just in a normal bookshelf box - no place to hang the Walls. When I built my theater I went to Thiel for their immediacy. I love my SF for music, but like the punch of the Thiel... | |
| Wasn't this forum going to be updated? Mechans - The Hub is still there - just go to main Audiogon page and hit Blog. It looks nice, but there is almost no content there. Personally, I think from the start it was a waste of their time to develop it. My guess is that they either do not ... | |
| Wasn't this forum going to be updated? Redglobe - a while back there were people asking for new features, like the ability to edit your posts in order to make corrections. The forum works well, but there are features that could be added. During those discussions, Audiogon indicated tha... | |
| Wasn't this forum going to be updated? Same here. I always thought their announcement was made more to quiet discontent with the site than because there was a serious move afoot to update the site. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days? Chord Hugo and Chord 2Qute. The Hugo is their portable DAC that also sounds great in a home environment. They just announced the 2Qute which is the Hugo board in their small desktop box without the portable features but with added galvanic isolati... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ? Ozzy - Awewome!I am digitizing vinyl, which is a different deal. I record either as DSD or 192/24. I do not hear much difference between 96/24 and 192/24, but my wife does, although it is slight. But we both hear a big difference between 44/16 and... | |
| Audio Visual Therapy........Exceptional service Avgoround - I buy new and I buy used. A place like AV Therapy introduces me to new brands and new models. They let me try pieces at home. They let me bring my pieces to their store to try on their systems. I tried 5 100 lb. plus amps at home befor... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ? Good luck. It will take some time to get the process down but hopefully you will find the results satisfying in the end. | |
| Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ? It looks like the Tascam does have an auto detect/break track feature. As long as the source disks have well defined tracks that should help a lot depending on how well it works.If you have a computer with a DVD or Blu Ray drive, I would at least ... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ? From Onhwy61"Are you going to copy as whole albums, or break them down into individual songs? How are you going to handle artist names and titles?"Not sure how the Tascam works, but on my Korg I find it easiest to record the whole album them break... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ? You can rip DVD-A and Blu Ray directly to digital. However, you need an original Play Station to rip the SACD. At 24/192 you will probably get audio pretty much equivalent to what your hear from your existing player. The advantage of ripping the d... | |
| Audio Visual Therapy........Exceptional service Great place. Both John and Mark are extremely helpful. They also carry Totem, including all the new Elements and the Kin line, as well as Aerial speakers and Bryston electronics. They have evening Open Houses with many reps and principles there. V... | |
| PC audio newbie looking for advice If you try JRiver, I would suggest just ripping your first CDs from within it. dBpoweramp is a great product, but for the vast majority of CDs in good condition, JRiver and dBpoweramp will give the same results. I only use it if I encounter errors... | |
