Ha! Chance would be a fine thing, as soon as i put them on a group of people immediately want to talk to me...... its amazing, i can have had hours where nobody has said a word, but as soon as they go on, people want to tell me important things :shock: I do have a set of wireless sennheisers, but i ...

Well i did well I got through 1 side of an lp i wanted to listen to before having to turn it off. because everyone came in wanting something, moaning about unimportant things, talking to each other at 100db despite being three feet away from each other, rowing over who was going on what computer ect...

When i get a cartridge, regardless of what it is, i always put on the records that piss me off. If i can get through those records, then i let them loose on my 'good' stuff. ( though most people would probably have a different defenition of good....) The thing with that m55 was that it had a certain...

Yep, just spray on the cleaning fluid and brush in, leave it to sit a minute to clean it, and vacuum off as usual. Then spray on the rodi water, brush in, leave it a minute and vacuum off. Didnt expect anything, i thought it was a load of old rubbish to rinse it off tbh. Maybe not. Just noticable en...

Got a few records over the past few weeks, new ones, as unfortunately russ who ran the indoor market stall record shop has had to give up due to illness. Gave them all a clean on the moth as they were all static-y. Then, after cleaning, i gave them a rinse. Never bothered before. Reson being is that...

Trying to sort out the kids pc. It runs at a snails pace at the moment, so ive done the usual and cleaned up tifs and windows update files. Also ran the registry cleaner. Then when i came to run defrag as it appears that the auto defrag option hasnt been activated, so its not been done in the almost...

Not noise james, its all related to the question

Ant, do you have a preference between the two "different" end results, and is it the same with different genres of mooooooosic ? Yep i do phil, i have been finding the delta is alot better I played loads of stuff yesterday, martin taylor, claire martin, art pepper, feeder, some foo fighters, and ot...

No worries ed, its just piqued my interest I wonder if this soundcard would provide a way of accessing the data somehow, with its optical in, though is have thought it was just a dac https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274468255000 I was looking at it for the kids gaming pc as it doesnt have a nice soundcard...

me, because a quad cam many turboed w16 is to me an engineering masterpiece and it makes the most glorious noise
But then im the kind of person who wants one of those v8 engine block coffee tables just to look at.
But the tesla and its ilk are the future, and thats a very good thing

The thing that i was commenting on is the fact that the squeezebox into the topping dac sounds fine, but the cd transport into the topping dac sounds different. I was musing that the data being fed to the dac from the sb and the cd transport should be the same data, as the data that the squeezebox i...

the thing that intrigues me is the fact that the difference is not subtle. I was expecting a subtle difference, but not a marked difference i can point at. A few years ago when i had the first sb and an apple tv, there was a subtle difference between the 2, and a subtle difference between those, and...

The cd rips are all apple lossless, and to be honest i dont know it the topping dac upsamples or reclocks. its their new one and is dsd 512 and 32/768 (i think) capable, and its set at a fixed output level so theres no digital attenuation going on. It can attenuate, but ive set it up so it doesn't F...

The dac as far as i can tell should be seeing the essentially the same data stream up its optical input, the cd transport sending the original data from the cd and the sb sending a copy of that data. I just swapped the optical cable from the sb to the transport so there shouldnt be any appreciable d...
