I've just upgraded the forum software to Xenforo 2.0. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. I'm still working on installing styles... coming soon.
I didn't really follow the progress of the 1800 series, so I couldn't say what the difference between the 1820 and 1800 is. Usually though, the changes were minor though throughout their ranges. Hey, they gotta change something to keep the line 'fresh'.
By the way, you might find this...
A lot of companies are going through management changes. It might work out that nicely in this case. I don't work there anymore. Several people don't work there anymore (read between those lines).
If I were in the market for an amp now, I don't know what I'd do. Parasound is in flux as are a...
There actually wasn't all that much changed between the 1800 ATI and the Monolith. They're basically the same amp with a different package. One thing you should be aware of is that ATI is going through some changes and I can't say how this would affect their products and future servicing, but...
By "made electrically safe", I hope you didn't tie the new earth ground tab directly to the chassis / audio ground. Not a great thing to do, safety or not. :shocked:
Funny you mention that. I have contracted with a lab to cyro-treat my patented Soundhound Piss and offer it as a premium version. I will be offering my many loyal customers here special pricing on this incredible piss, provided they send a 12-pack of IPA so that I can process it into Soundhound...
That thing is Sooooo silly. Reading the specs, they aren't even that impressive for speed stability compared to your average Studer, Revox, Tascam, Otari or Ampex.
That SoundHound guy sounds like a real wanker.
Seriously though, I've generally switched to using RG-174 cable which is much smaller and more flexible. Nothing really different with performance either way, and the same construction methods apply.
There is no argument that class D amps are far more cost effective, efficient and easier to integrate into projects by a typical user. In the end, it really depends on the goals - do you want a simple solution which is out of the way and economical or are you more interested in interacting with...
Aside from the efficiency and small size, what is the draw in terms of sound quality? (And note that I am on the engineering design team for two brands of class D amplifiers). DSP can be used with any amplifier technology after all - class D has nothing to do with DSP or anything related to DSP...
Class D is efficient, economical, and doesn't take up much space. They will undoubtedly overtake conventional amplifiers in time.
Sounds like a rather boring future to me. Efficient but boring. :gross:
The notes, where they are the same, are a lot harder to read on the CD. :rtfm: I'm getting the new edition of Blue Train when its released in September, and it has a lot of extras on the vinyl which are not on the CD I have. It was in an article of Analog Planet online last week.
I've got the 2...
Don't have that one. I have a couple jazz albums where I have both the digital and vinyl copy though. Some mastering settings like EQ are likely to be a bit different on the vinyl anyway because of cutting limitations, so the digital and vinyl are going to sound a bit different. The vinyl is...
One of the major things I like about vinyl is the abundant space for (physical!) artwork and liner notes. I buy quite a few Acoustic Sounds Jazz editions which are presented in very high quality coated gatefold jackets, sometimes with several pages of liner notes inside. Looking at these...
That article is such a tempest in a teapot. The reality is that a digital generation, done correctly, is completely transparent. Having the source as a digital file enables a lot of control which in the end produces a better lacquer cut - the process can actually allow a cleaner cut than using...
