Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Inguz eq installation issues (mac) PLZ HELP

2011-01-07 Thread esbrewer

I think Muski posted the document on these forums (search for it) but it
could have been over at the Inguz forums while they were still active. 
Keep searching and you'll find the threads.  I don't have a good handle
on where they are any more because I gave up on Inguz a few months back.
It works great, but I just got tired of tweaking everything in response
to software updates - and then trying to figure out (as you'll have to)
which thread contains the correct modification to the plugin files is
required to keep things working.  It just required more effort than I'm
willing to put in at this point.

Currently considering giving a hardware based solution like the KRK
Ergo a try to free up my mind and still get some benefit of DRC.

Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Does audiophile equal quiet?

2011-01-07 Thread pski

I'll drown here shortly but I'll wade in.

Resolution is sample bits (up and down) and time is on the sample
frequency line (left to right.) In practice these have no effect on
volume.

Accuracy then is the combination of both resolution and frequency.

Back in the days of half-speed masters, accuracy (the up-and-down
resolution) was enhanced was enhanced both by slowing the master cutter
(by half) and by using high quality vinyl and pressing techniques. The
sample frequency line was determined by the rotation speed and could
not be altered.

In the full digital world (praise be to "Bop 'Til You Drop,") both of
these variables are open to tinkering. 

Interpretation (by both the equipment and the engineers) is possible
and the dynamic range (being the speed and range of frequency response-
resolution) and the frequency of sample of the source material is
subject to modification. Note the dynamic range of the source material
has inviolate limits: limits on how well the original is recorded. This
is to say digitally chopping the source more vigorously in either
resolution or frequency will not improve each instant digital sample.

So then we're back to volume. Accuracy depends on the A/D (or A/A)
encoding and it's faithful transfer into the digital space. Volume then
depends on where the engineer chooses to place it in the digital space.
So long as the waveform is fully represented (and we would hope
accurately,) the volume is not an issue.

Since quality stereo depends on flat response to input it would make
sense to place the full-range digital signal in an optimal range
slightly above the lowest volume levels. This would enable well powered
amps to drive their speakers with enough amperage to produce desirable
SPL (unless you live in a trailer.)

To test, you want to have scrolling enabled, play a song with long
enough text to cause scrolling, and run the vis.  I wouldn't change the
scrolling values, if you push them too high you are going to run into
problems, the default is 30fps and looks pretty good.

As I understand, the latest changes involve scrolling. So to
stress-test, one might want to set scrolling to some obscurely high
(fast) values.

Sensible and reasonable viewpoint! I am of the second opinion as well,
relying on the recording / mastering side expertise to bring me the
best possible sound for my setup. My current music library has roughly
25% recordings that are exquisitely done, 25% enjoyable, 25% so so for
background and the rest is pretty bad, sound quality wise.

2011-01-07 Thread darrenyeats

For me, if you want a certain quality to the sound I don't believe the
digital source is the right place to expect that. Use down-stream
equipment to deliver the qualities of sound you like (and that's fine -
see below). For me, it's like complaining an RCA connector is "boring"
because it's transparent. 

But this is interesting because I've come to realise there are two
different ways of looking at hi-fi and both are equally valid.

One opinion is that the best hi-fi is that which makes the most
recordings sound the best or most real. If you think about it, it's a
very sensible opinion and I won't criticise it - indeed I cannot.

The other opinion is that the best hi-fi delivers the original
recording as closely as possible. On many recordings, this may be
deliver an experience which is less "real" and perhaps less
"comfortable". However, when done properly this is not an unpleasant
sensation and I would say it's the opposite of boring. Instead of
hearing the equipment you hear the recordings and there is a lot
variety out there, variety that can easily be papered over. Anyway, I'm
just saying this is an another way of looking at things.

At this point in my audio journey I keep the second view but I respect
completely those dedicated to the first view. Enjoy the music

You were right, Gaz, once I installed the Gator board, everything
blossomed into full life. Stan told me that the board needs to get a
decent burn-in. In your opinion, how long should I wait for it to burn
in properly before I give it my review?

One curious thing: despite the fact that everybody's saying how this
board increases the output gain, I haven't noticed it. If anything, it
fells just a tad bit quieter than the unmoded Caiman.

I will probably have to recompare them again. I do not remember the
sound of the Transporter anymore. My major complains were resonances
and over analytical sound (Summits are more listenable than Ascents in
this case).

It must sound different because (at least) of the reclocking. Almost no
jitter.

Currently I use upsampling to 192kHz (more air around the sources) and
Filter 2 (more dynamic, sharper transients, more involving, but a bit
brighter).

It is my understanding that CPU load is highly dependent on the
visualizer in use. Andy, what visualizer results in highest probability
of audio dropout?
