Audio Investigations: Shades of Tweakdom

http://audioinvestigations.blogspot.com/2015/02/shades-of-tweakdom.html

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. There's a spectrum of potential value in audio improvements and "tweaks.". In any real room, you will be getting some reflection, and reflection isn't fidelity, but some reflectiveness may make for a more enjoyable experience anyway. Most important is the quality of the reflected sound- how much does it change the frequency content of the original sound? And there you have tradeoffs such as trading off the frequency balance of reflection for the total amount of reflection.

Audio Investigations: July 2014

http://audioinvestigations.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Converted DSD sounds threadbare. The Denon DVD-9000 will not play SACD. So how do I play SACD on new living room system? Well, of course, Weather Report does use a lot of synths. But then I played Weather Report on the Denon 5900 (re-sampled by the Lavry AD10) and it sounded much more real, I felt, as if missing information had been restored. So SACD/DSD playback actually relies on its own high frequency "noise" to sound real. Posted by Audio Investigator. Dan The Man audio blog.

Audio Investigations: High Resolution is not Fake Snake Oil

http://audioinvestigations.blogspot.com/2015/02/high-resolution-is-not-fake-snake-oil.html

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. High Resolution is not Fake Snake Oil. High resolution PCM recording is measurably better. There is not a myth, you can look at the actual measurements of real equipment using the best test equipment in many Stereophile reviews by John Atkinson, who has published detailed measurements of more equipment than anyone, over three decades of reviewing and editing the most popular high end audio magazine. Now, in many cases the Actual Mastering done on a high resolution recording ...

Audio Investigations: Using the Audio-GD DAC 19

http://audioinvestigations.blogspot.com/2015/05/using-audio-gd-dac-19.html

Sunday, May 17, 2015. Using the Audio-GD DAC 19. So when the Audio-G D DAC 19 came back on the market as the Anniversary Edition, my only question was how many to order. I decided to play it safe and just order one. What if it didn't meet my expectations in some way? What if it had the oily chemical smell as I have found with many products made in China? Which leads to speculation about where this smell comes from. Is it a preservative added to rubber and vinyl? Is it an insecticide? I bring this up not ...

A Purist' Wet Dream - diyparadise

http://diyparadise.com/w/purist-wet-dream

Learn, learn, learn…. A Purist’ Wet Dream. A Purist’ Wet Dream. June 18, 2014. It has more than a year since I last wrote anything here. This is embarrassing considering I used to write every few weeks. Well, you could see I’m still alive, kicking and soldering but more than that, I have spent more than a year improving on Discreet Monica. But save that for another day. I then wanted to build a proper All-In-One system. You see, back when we participated in the KLIAV show way back in 2008. Why so you ask?

PurePower Reviews

http://www.purepoweraps.com/APSreviews.htm

I did check my invoice - dated 11/17/2008. Could hardly believe that the 1050s been giving perfect service for over 7 years! I want you to know whenever the 1050 needs to be replaced, it WILL BE. With a new PurePower product. Of all the equipment I own, the 1050s extremely. Ill never forget the day when I first heard the 1050 in my system! The difference it made was phenomenal! Not really something. Not really big. Not truly dramatic. But, phenomenal! At that moment, I was a customer for life! Sound fiel...

Audio Investigations: AF/RF Spectrum Analyzer

http://audioinvestigations.blogspot.com/2015/05/afrf-spectrum-analyzer.html

Wednesday, May 13, 2015. I've already got one ( 50kHz) HP spectrum analyzer. But now I think what I'd like would be an 8566B, which has range from 100Hz to 22GHz, and minimum 3Hz bandwidth. BTW, HP instruments became Agilent when HP sold off it's original instrumentation business to become a PC maker. Agilent later reorganized to separate out medical devices and now the instrumentation business is called Keysight Technologies. Posted by Audio Investigator. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
