| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - Unless cryo treating changes the physical shape of an LP then it should sound identical. The stylus doesn't do anything beyond following the surface of the groove. I don't get it. If cryo helps an LP then there's no limits.Frozen waffl... | |
| SACD vs. Redbook and other formats Other formats being blu-ray, XRCD, etc. I know there are some obscure formats that I have no experience with.With blu-ray are you comparing identical stereo recordings that are just presented in different formats? I only have one blu-ray concert (... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Thesoundhouse - How do you test the speed of a cable? Also, how does the speed of a cable impact the quality of said cable? If speed from one end to the other improves sound then just get a shorter cable. It sounds like a cryo treated cable that i... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Tubed1 - I hope your joking? Cryo treatment modifies internal micro structures of the material which is why it is used for cables and such where something is traveling inside the material. Please explain how a change in internal micro structure wo... | |
| SACD vs. Redbook and other formats My SACD player allows me to choose the Redbook layer on a hybrid SACD, is that standard? It seems that most people are comparing two seperate CDs even if it's the same recording. | |
| Celtic Thunder I didn't say anything about Celtic Thunder being authentic or that I didn't enjoy other celtic groups, just that I enjoy a lot of their music.If their format was to simply stand in a line and sing I suspect more people would enjoy listening to the... | |
| DAC placement I think that any sound isolation or coupling is going to be more important on the DAC than the transport because any effects will be stronger in the analog signal. I know that at my local Hi Fi store they had Nordost Sort Kones under the PS Audio ... | |
| Tri-amped sys. speaker cable gauge question Since cables are mostly about opinions, I'll go first. It is my understanding that one of the most significant factors in in cable performance is it's resistance. The larger gage cables have less resistance and this actually results is a slightly ... | |
| Good musical HT AV/Receiver I am really happy with my Integra 50.1 and my friend has the 40.2 and his system sounds great as well. I have Focal 836v speakers and my friend has Focal 807v speakers. | |
| Phase Distortion - Speaker/Amplifiers I think I'm starting to understand a bit more.I understand that the analog audio signal isn't a descrete set of 0's and 1's, but I thought the wave form resulted from "pulses" that either inreased or decreased the wave amplitude? | |
| HT and two channel receiver recommendation Without looking them up I would have recommended the Onkyo because I think they are more user friendly. My father-in-law has my old Onkyo, I have an Integra, and my Sister-in-law has a Denon.After looking them up, I'd recommend the Denon because i... | |
| Phase Distortion - Speaker/Amplifiers It appears that phase distortion is primarily the result of crossover networks in multi driver speakers which is why headphones and single driver speakers have less phase distortion.On the surface it seems that a network that results in 180 degree... | |
| Heaven or Hell It's your interconnects degrading over time from consistency. If you work out you'll understand the concept of not working one part of your body every day. Stereo's, specifically interconnects, require "exercise" at different times, volumes and mu... | |
| redneck iPod in-car connection Kbarkamian - I have the premium JBL head unit. Car Toys told me that it was too integrated into the rest of the electronics to replace without rewiring the entire truck. For the money I was willing to spend they suggested either just upgrading the... | |
| Music Recommendations based on Seven Albums Also, have you had the opportunity to hear it performed live? I saw it last season at the Seattle Symphony and could easily make it a yearly adventure. |
