I did enough LP/digital comparison toward the beginning of my ongoing conversion project to satisfy myself that I was getting the results I was after. I tried a couple of different devices and settled on the M-Audio card. Other people have obviously chosen differently. I also tried different sample rates and found I was happy with the standard CD quality. I find the vast majority of LPs have their own inherent limitations and I just didn't find I was getting anything from the higher sampling rates that justified the extra file size. Again, that is one of those points where people need to reach their own conclusion. -- mlsstl mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76496 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter volume-control digital input
To suggest the obvious: If you're listening at around half-volume level on the Transporter, you might also consider getting an amp with much less gain/power than your current 200W/ch one. More power isn't always better! :) Or even as a compromise, consider trying an amp like the Parasound A23 - you still probably won't need much of its power, but the A23 has XLR inputs with level controls on the back of the amp to let you get the right amount of attenuation. It also has an auto-on (signal sense) feature that would work great with the Transporter... -- NewBuyer NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76659 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Thoughts on Parasound Halo amp/preamp potential purchase
I have the P3 preamp, and I'm very happy with it. I'm feeding it with an SB3 and Lavry DA10 DAC (via balanced connections) and it's driving an NAD C272 amp. In my case, I greatly preferred the P3 to two passives I tried: the "preamp" section of a Creek 4330SE integrated, and the FT Audio LW1. The NAD amp has a lowish input impedance, and that my explain why the passives didn't work well for me. I didn't compare it to other active preamps. When I dropped the P3 into my system, I was satisfied, and I stopped looking. I bought my P3 from Audio Advisor, and it's a refurbished unit. I don't remember the exact amount, but that saved me a lot of money. It looks like a new unit, and it's worked flawlessly for me.

Petter, you're current setup is fine. That said, I did post exactly this question a while back on the n-forum. The consensus seemed to be that a RCA-DIN cable could be better - or at least as good as RCA-RCA. Why, is really beyond me. Something about getting some of the properties (of DIN) that Naim uses this type of connection for in the first place So I now use a Chord Chameleon RCA-DIN cable that my dealer made for me. Note that at the time I had both kinds of cables already lying around, so it was simply a free choice.

According to the latest RIAA statistics (on their web site) CDs are down about 25%, but download sales are up 27% for singles and 34% for albums. And those numbers make LP sales look like a small ink drop on a sheet of white paper. Keep in mind that the nature of music distribution has changed constantly over the years. From 1880 until the 1940s, the primary source of income for music companies was sheet music. 78 records didn't break through that until their lifespan was almost over. I have no doubt that the nature of the market will continue to change. However, one has to be careful not to linearly extrapolate the current growth rate of anything. Just because LPs have a current growth spurt doesn't mean it will continue at that rate. That said, LP lovers should enjoy their current moment in the sun. Though you may think that poor sounding CDs outnumber poor sounding LPs (and with some of the LPs I've encountered I'm not sure I agree), the bigger point is that you acknowledge that some CDs do sound very good. Right there you have the proof that it can be done. Good sounding CDs have been made and they can be made anytime people at the record company make quality a priority. Bad sounding CDs are just like the hot teenage clothing fashion of the moment. We may scratch our heads wondering what they're thinking, but the clothing manufacturers make clothing in that style because they can sell a ton of it. Music is the same way. CDs don't have to sound hot, compressed and aggressive. They sound that way because someone intentionally set out to achieve that sound. -- mlsstl mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76496 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Disabling Transporter wireless
Hi everyone, After connecting my Transporter with ethernet instead of wireless I found a strange issue. Even tough the wired is connected and the unit working fine, I still see it's connected (per the router's admin-interface) via wireless as well. The signal's weak though, as the antennas have been removed. The reason I'm trying to disable wireless is to to lose every g-type wireless-device from my network, leaving my two routers communicating via the faster n-network most of the time. The network drops it's speed whenever g-type devices are connected, and hence I'd like to disable the Transporter's wireless for the time being. I'm unable to find a way to do this, however. Does anybody know how this is done, and is it possible?
