  1. Welcome to the site! "It a whole different ballgame" Aiplane humor LOL I am a DIY builder too some of the members on this site take it to the extreme! We don't compare systems to others, except for my quest to equal Gene C's 6 subwoofers.. You have a very nice system looking forward to photos! Jim
  2. When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Ghandi
  3. Congrats to Bill! Someone will be along to turn you blue!!
  4. We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. Benjamin Franklin
  5. Chris I satisfied my linear track urge with a B&O TT restore perfect fit for my MMC2 cart. So I relagated the Rabco to the back shelf LOL.Looks like another member would like to try it so Ill probably send it his way.
  6. If you need parts for your Rabco I've got a "decomissioned unit" from an ex-member ( Given to Me) I could send you ( It is fully functional). Jim
  7. Welcome Go big or Go home I guess!! Love the pics! Admire the setup! Something special about DIY speakers!! Regards James
  8. Welcome Raven glad to see you here! A lady's presence will class up the place. Maybe I should change my Avatar James

    Got mine Mark and thank you Converted to flac for work (headphones) added titles thinking of putting it up on Box.com tonight for members to upload FLAC version with titles. Superb! Eric Kunzel sounds like my Telarc Version!
  12. Phil such a buzz kill! Yeah phase is lost due to quanitization but the effective loss is so high above the audible range as to be moot. Arguing the heavier work load is also a nostarter due to "moors law" and advances in electronics. I agree with the 60 khz sample being optimum in theory. Most Adc and Dac's don't resolve to 24 bits effectively due to thermal noise more like 20 bits, but again thats changing as state of the art improves. The audiophile in me says if you can filter properly at 44.1 the you can do it at 192. Then again why do we listen to LP's? Devils advocate. Lots of great info!
  13. I'm betting Audacity is the favorite of many some nice audio reviews at the end of the article. http://www.tweakhound.com/2013/05/28/converting-vinyl-records-to-digital-music-a-non-audiophiles-guide/ I've used EAC, Exact Audio Copy but I belive its limited to 16 bit depth. It also has a nice normalisation feature and pop and crack detector, and the ability to use an external file to fill in lost digital info. But its not a fast solution, and cumbersome!
  14. Actually thats only part of the story, phase information is lost in the quantization of the data. Signal data is "shifted" to coincide with the sample. Nyqvist frequency and rate are Minimum requirements for a limited band with system. This specifically relates to spatial relationships of the instruments. of course this only applies to a live recording but most sound engineers try to emulate the relationships in the mixing. Ie the faster the digitization the more accurate the phase information will be, instead of being a coarse approximation of a slower rate. Think of it this way 1411k possible start points verses 9216k possible start points in a second both can do a 20 khz signal but with respect to time one will be quantitized closer to the actual start point..
  15. By the Numbers 192/24 = 9216 kbs 96/24 = 4608 kbs CD= 1411 kbs 320 mp3 = 320 kbs Dano all the units have Dac that convert 192/24 back to analog so you can use your analog jacks. My HT powers my C1 through the pre outs L-R so the HT denon is my digital control to the C1 If the source wasn't recorded at the high bit rate then its a waste! Analog = Digital but at a molecular level , whats the molecular density of vinyl?
  16. New products are here http://www.whathifi.com/news/high-resolution-audio-everything-you-need-to-know Audio Nirvana or Old duck with new quak what say you?
  17. I'm thinkin like 10 years, as stations upgrade thier equipment they will lobby the FCC for change over, due to cost of operating thier old equipment. Better sound when it's tuned in? LoL where have we heard that one. They will propably run a compression algorithm to save bandwidth, and when you lose signal it's just gone, much like sattelite.
