| Di I really need to clean my LP's? In my research before posting this question, results (many from record cleaner manufacturers) contain many assertions without any real facts. ilikemiles: How do you know that the mold release compound residue leads to contamination? pryso: How... | |
| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? For those who are interested, here is my update, mostly empirical: After researching the sample rate conversion capability of jRiver Media Center (MC) via query on the jRiver forum and researching related discussions there, I have arrived at a li... | |
| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? There have been multiple suggestions here that Media Center may not be performing the conversion well. That certainly seems a plausible explanation, but my perception of jRiver is that they know what they are doing. However, I'll raise this issue ... | |

| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? cakyol:I am not seriously looking for a new amplifier. I have had our ML-333 since it was new in 1995 and have no plans to replace it. However, just for fun as a background task, I try to keep up on recent developments so that I have a plan in ca... | |
| Mark Levinson model differences : 333 vs 432 vs 532 / H I have had an 333 since we purchased it new in 1995. About three years ago, it failed, and I had it repaired at an authorized facility for about $2500. I continue using it and have no plans or desire to replace it. It is very difficult today to fi... | |

From one point of view, they may be the best, but I would not use them because they would break my home power budget.The specifications for our speakers recommend an amplifier in the range of 125-250 watts, although more or less can suffice. (I c... | |
