Hi... I assume the dampers arrived OK. Please let me know. Thanks. :)

Greetings... I use the computer program RipX to separate classic hits that are in mono into stems so I can convert them to stereo (for my own entertainment, of course). Recently, I upgraded RipX to the latest version, 6.2.0. Since then, some rips are filled with a "static" noise that earlier...

Is there a forum in AK dedicated to the above?

I have more info now. Here's a pic of his entertainment stand: The components on top will be moved to the center to accommodate the new speakers. His Sherwood RX-4109 receiver will be-- if it fits-- in the center hole. As you might have guessed, he's not an audiophile. :)

I think he'd like to buy something new, if possible. :)

I've always wanted to say this: "asking for a friend." But, I REALLY AM! My buddy has no room for a sub and a budget of about 500.00. He LOVES bass. What speakers would you recommend? Thanks... :)

Greetings... I just bought a Fiio DAC and was wondering what you're using as a coaxial digital cable. I have a few cables, but they were actually designed for video. Thanks... :)

Thank you!

I know some claim that unused RCA jacks can cause noise and should be capped, etc.. Is the same true for headphone jacks? Thanks. :)

NO and YES... I got rid of all my CD's, SACD's, DVD-A's, and Blu-ray Audio's, but not before converting them to .wav, .flac, and .dsf files and putting those files on three SS flash drives. I kept my Oppo BDP-103, though, because I know of no other component with three USB inputs. My next...

This thing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/112099485290 Believe it or not, it has slightly improved the sound of my Oppo BDP-103.

B... I found the "Sgt. Pepper's..." remix at the library. It sounds great, but what's the point?

THEWORST: In the early '80s, my brother bought a pair of JBL two-ways (I forget the model number but I believe they were part of the "Eminence" series). They sounded dreadful; no treble, bass, or detail. Then, a few years later, I walked in on my then-band mixing down our demo tape on a set of...

Huh... I didn't even know there was an integrated amp in that series. Thanks for the pic. :)

The NOT highly-regarded SAE P102 that I picked up with a bunch of other components has found a permanent place in my system. It is clear, quiet, dynamic, and has excellent bass response. It is cold-sounding, though, so I added a tube buffer to the signal line. Well, it's permanent until I find...

And, one of the pre-amps I'm considering (the Schiit) is a tube preamp. :)

Thanks for your reply, Joe. The P102 was the only component in the SAE stack I got for a song that didn't need a refurb/overhaul. It sounds fine with the tube buffer. But when I evaluate my system, it's the only component that I can afford to upgrade. :)

Greetings...I am thinking about buying a new preamp, but only if it's better than what I'm using, Currently I'm running an SAE P102 with a tube buffer and I like the sound very much. But I'm thinking about a getting a used Schiit Lyr 3 or a used (and much older) Acurus L10. Either would run me...

They had it... it's Lauren White. Thanks! :)

No on all three... try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/24n18i92x2luz3j/03%20-%20Blue%20Bayou_44k.mp3?dl=0

It's a version of "Blue Bayou" by a female jazz artist. Google, Shazam, and YouTube have been no help. I have the file and would be glad to link you to it, but I don't know how. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks. :)

Good morning... I'm trying to post and ask for an artist ID, but when I try to attach the song sample I'm told that "the uploaded file does not have an allowed extension." It is an .mp3. What ARE the allowed extensions? Thanks. :)

Thank you all for your help. I finally got it to work-- and it did so beautifully-- but I couldn't truthfully say what I did to get it to. I must have been closer than I thought and one of the small changes I made did the trick. I took a screen shot of the program I used with the proper settings...

Good info... thanks, but when I use SACDExtractGUI I get this: [ERROR] sacd_extract.exe doesn't exist or not executable.

Hi... thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm ripping them to .dsf. I play them on my HP computer on Tascam Hi-Res Editor or on the Oppo. And, yes, I can play .dsf files from other sources with no problem. :)
