    Is SACD dead?

    I have been collecting music for about 50 years. Perhaps it is my Boomer mentality but I like to actually own things, not pay to borrow them. My physical copies are for archival purposes, for the most part. I do occasionally play my albums but just about everything is duplicated on CD or...

    It has a recommended a crossover point of 6400, that is pretty high but will work if you have something that will take over below 6400 and blend nicely, and you can configure the crossover correctly.

    Is SACD dead?

    This is also my understanding and experience. I have taken a crash course in this mess the past few weeks. I have studied the manuals of 27 A/V receivers so far and most of the important parts are buried in notes denoted with an asterisk that tell you what they do not do. I use a Sony...

    I actually prefer it this way. :D

    They show up as unavailable Glenn. Are they set to private?

    Interesting, it lets me see it here when before it would not. Oh well, such is life.

    I have been quiet on this thread, life has been incredibly busy, and I am retired! (supposedly) After two years it has been unblocked, imagine that. The video that only I could see...

    I just added her to my Amazon Music que. I thank you for the listen, excellent as always.

    Thanks, I am safe but have so many things going on I do not have time to record, I barely have time to listen. Being busy is a good thing in life.

    I agree with the Spicy man, excellent job! There have been a bunch of excellent systems and recordings lately. I love it!

    Dahlquist DQ-10 Revival

    Thanks, it has been a labor of love. I just finished replacing the tweeter of the Left speaker with a Peerless BC25SC55-04 1" square frame tweeter. It really opened up the treble but my goal is to take advantage of the very high frequency and remove the supertweeter from the system. After...

    Dahlquist DQ-10 Revival

    One speaker finished...for now. As noted above the DMB-A is physically different than the stock mid dome and the way the tweeter overlaps the baffle of the mid dome creates an issue for mounting the new mid, round versus rectangular. Others have created a new baffle for the mid dome which...

    Dahlquist DQ-10 Revival

    It is time for a little more work on the DQ's. My repaired mid dome is still working, but the output level is lower than the one that is intact. I ordered a pair of HiVi DMB-A's and 15ohm 5 watt resistors to correct the impedance imbalance. I figured while I was at it I would go ahead and...

    Oh Yeah!!! I really need to get back to recording but I have a new puppy and she is a rotten little thing.

    AMHD is killing my interest in phono

    2 channel only, 5.1 and more screws with my head.

    AMHD is killing my interest in phono

    I have a bunch of albums that I never listen to, I ditched my last tape decades ago and moved to CD. I have been an Amazon Music member since it was started being included with my Prime membership. I moved to Unliited when it became available and the HD service was a no brainer for me. I have...

    Some things to note, the snowball has a freq. response of 40hz to 18khz, so it is light on the bottom end and seems more designed for voice not music. It is cardioid or omni only so no stereo, not that it makes a huge difference. Use Audacity, if you are not and a lower volume on the stereo...

    I would love to, but they got divorced. He kept the albums, which is ok, we gave them to him. He started a vinyl collection and we gave him some of the better albums because he really got into it. I rarely ever play an album but we kept the rest of her Toni's Dad's collection, some good stuff...

    I have the regular CD version and the SACD version was delivered Friday. We gave our son in law an original disc that was Toni's Dad's that he bought when it came out, along with many other great albums. (I wish I had that one back) It has been a favorite for a long time. I hope you find the...

    You are correct, they are not a replacement for 6K4 tubes. They were replacements for the 6J2 tubes mine uses.

    Austin was going through it's own Punk/New Wave music at the same time and up until the late 80's. I remember going to the clubs on 6th street and slightly off 6th street and listening to "bands". But I honestly do not remember any of the groups, I had a party problem back then and altered...
