| Best wishes for Tom Petty This is terrible news. Saw TP&THB several times in the early days. Always put on a terrific show and is one of those artists who continued to release great work.Any fans of 'Lucky?'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-zC2Lnk4Do | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Since the website does not list specs, I have a question. Is Don's preamp using cathode-followers for the 6SN7 gain stage?Also, if this is a single gain stage, is it sensitive to microphonic tubes? I assume you are all testing for low- noise? | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Steve, interesting stuff about some DAC designs. This problem I'm having makes me keep thinking about grounding issues due to the harsh sound.As far as outside the components, there are no grounding issues; I've tried different IC's (single-ended ... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC @audioengr , thanks for your interest and advice, Steve.The PS Audio transport gets high marks for jitter control from users online. My PSA DAC is their budget model which uses ESS Sabre chips (no detailed info available), and does not use a FPGA ... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC I appreciate your comments, @audioengr . I contacted you recently regarding a Synchromesh purchase and appreciate your no-pressure-to-buy attitude. I'm following your advice and focusing on each element one at a time. First, I addressed the power ... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Dave and Chris, many thanks for the good wishes.My review of the JPS AC-X... Extremely effective and affordable as an all in one filter/conditioner power cord. In my case, I did not need such powerful filtering since I have dedicated lines and 2 u... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Dave, it looks like that LPS is one of a kind. Using Google, I haven't seen any others.I contacted Steve Nugent about a Synchromesh purchase and he recommended trying a few things first. He believes that so called "digital" power cables using filt... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Great idea, @dskinner. I went direct from DAC to amp and the sound is very pleasant. Still sounds like music is from a digital source, but nothing offensive at all. In fact, the amp is warm with nice tube bloom but is lacking the deep imaging that... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Gong ! | |
| RIP John Bonham @shadorne ,I had Carmine's book. It was my favorite and Carmine's beats and fills were awesome. I don't play anymore, but I kept my practice pad, many sticks, and books by Carmine and Buddy Rich, (I'm told Buddy didn't write his).Carmine's double-... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I forgot to add the late, great Cozy Powell to our list. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I was reminded of what I so dislike about Bonham---his playing was so "literal", so un-poetic. It didn’t have any elegance, any grace. Almost rude! His bass drum triplets (one of the tricks he is known for) were played just to show he could do ... | |
| RIP John Bonham It’s too bad that Bonham didn’t live long enough to perform post-Led Zeppelin. It would have been interesting to know if there was another side to his signature style; I would hope he would not have used his 26" kick drum (a major influence on Led... | |
| RIP John Bonham I also saw Zep at MSG in 1977. 10th row or thereabouts. They were firing on all cylinders that night. | |
| Amplifier Starvation ...the 14 gauge in the wall melted away ...This statement concerned me, but I'm glad I read it wrong. |
