| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock So you would use the the After Dark as a master word clock. Mutec would be the input to your dac? | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock Why use two master clocks with your DAC? And that is a very fine Dac. A friend is using the Mutec MC-3+ as a reclocker for his very high-end Audio Note DAC, which like your Mojo, is NOS and uses no digital filters. There is a very noticeable imp... | |
| DAC Input Topology @vonhelmholtz I didn't realise the Aurender you were referring to is a master clock, sorry. That is the way to go in your high-end setup. Maybe a call to Kitsune will provide options. Some dacs have a word clock input which is separate from sign... | |
| DAC Input Topology Now I’m looking at the Aurender N20. The selling point here is the OCXO clock, which is four to ten times more stable than the Holo’s clock. If you believe the dac in this streamer is better than the Holo, then there’s no reason to keep your Ho... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @bdp24 You always have some cool "insider" stories. The production master comes with a spec sheet which has a checklist. Maybe an oversight or the cutting engineer thought he knew better how to transfer the tape. I received a master to transfe... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries This meaningless grading of used records has only been happening since the vinyl resurgence. In the original era of vinyl, the grade of a used record meant something. There were no internet sales and used record shops knew how to grade using the G... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries Then there is the fact that each engineer who cut a lacquer for a company was free to change the sound contained in the tape he received, adding reverb, compression, frequency response manipulation, fade outs, etc. @bdp24 I was not aware of th... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries I agree with the terrible quality of pressings which came from Russia and Czechoslovakia, same with their CDs. I also look for the country of origin of the band and it's record label. There are so many UK albums with good SQ. I have also found th... | |

| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries The pressing plants probably received a 1/4" dub off the mixed master. In the 80s, that's also what studios received to edit music videos. | |
| Upgrading power system @buellrider97 Thanks for the kind words, Mike. I get it now, it's all Richard Gray's fault. I was going to suggest that if the AC line from your audio to the service panel is 12/2 Romex, you could install a 20A breaker. But in light of the condi... | |
| Upgrading power system @carlsbad Once you have noise in your power, the best thing you can do is rectify it and invert it with a super high quality inverter. What about balanced power conditioning? The hot and neutral are inverted 180° from each other and the groun... | |
| Upgrading power system @buellrider97 Why use a 20A Venom PC on a 15A circuit? | |
| Can't Find Offer Ron, send the seller a message stating that you made an offer. Then you'll know you made contact. If he ignores you, then maybe the offer is too low and being rejected. | |
| Geffen, Disney and speaker placement The great European halls are very lively. I think they're able to control reflections rather than the use of heavy damping by the US. The "shoebox" is the perfect shape for sound to fill the hall. |
