    My Denon DCD-1520 vs. all CD players on the planet earth

    Hi all, I have been a dedicated vinyl enthusiast for years, and have also always kept a smaller collection of CD's. I am not a vinyl snob to the extent that I dismiss CD's, in fact I quite like them for many reasons and want to grow my CD collection. My CD player is a Denon DCD-1520, found in...

    Yamaha A-U671 Stereo Amplifier

    Anyone know anything about this new Yamaha amp. Certainly looks sleek and cool. Have seen several sites that have noted the 10% THD which has folks guessing whether it's a typo or the watts have been exaggerated. Thoughts?

    Are higher sampling rates ever better?

    Interesting article: The Science of Sample Rates (When Higher Is Better — And When It Isn’t) "So, if you are ever using a converter and find it sounds dramatically better at a higher rate, don’t get excited about the sample rate. Get suspicious of the design shortcuts instead! Why isn’t the...

    First 'real' system - where can I improve?

    After years of the thrift store and the used equipment game (which I do love), I've finally invested/indulged in a new NAD D 3020, new Monitor Audio Bronze 2 Speakers, pairing with my old Realistic Lab-400/AT CN5725AL cartridge via a new Phono Solutions PS1. Stream Tidal from a Pc to a new...

    Otis Redding Vinyl Reissue: Digital Or Analog?

    I'm looking at buying Otis Redding Live In Europe on vinyl. There is the original 1967 release, but I'm also considering a reissue from 2003. How do I find out if the 2003 version stayed in the analog universe, like the Beatles mono remasters from 2014, for example? And in general on other...

    Using Digital Cables for Analog RCA's?

    Hi is it possible or advised to use digital coaxial audio cable for rca phono cables? I was thinking about making a set with a ground wire since I have a large lot of retail Audioquest digital sitting around.

    DBX Signal processing removal?

    When recording a tape digitally to a pc, is it possible to remove (restore original signal) DBX from the signal with software in the pc, or is it necessary to use a deck with DBX built in?

    The Great Consumer Heist

    I've had a Teac ST-1250s laying about the house forgotten for the past year+. I received it as a gift, sort of. (The email I was given to post payment to via PayPal was apparently not associated with an account, and I could not raise the seller again.) But this "heist" isn't the subject of my...

    at the risk of outing myself as an audiophilistine, i do not use a DAC to play music from my macbook or iphone. (most of the time, i'm listening to vinyl on a: technics sl-b2, grado black cart, and a grado 8mz stylus.) all of my music comes through a pioneer sx-850, and polk rt-400 speakers. for...

    How to make an "on-cue" type playlist?

    I'm looking to perform a show with some backing tracks, and I want to arrange them in such a way that they are organized in a playlist, but instead of me playing one single track and then the device playing every track on the whole playlist in succession, I want it to be like I play one track...

    Bryston BDP-2 digital music player - nice!

    I recently posted on AK about the music server I’ve been using since 2011, the Auraliti PK-100. I’ve been quite happy with it, but... ha ha... writing the post made the upgrade bug bite. Bryston recently announced a new sound card of their own design for the BDP-2, made in-house, and that...

  21. BA150 Power Amp page 1

    BA150 Power Amp page 1

    A very interesting power amp from 1979. Combines analog and digital, solid state and tube. The analog is the amplification type, digital is the auto-bias, solid state for the input section and tube output devices. With front panel NFB control! What an amp, never heard one though.
