Re: How Does 20th Century Radio Upscale their OTR Shows?

[Matthew Bullis]

Although the effect sounds great initially, it's really not good to do this to 
files. Most I've heard like this actually introduce a fraction of a second 
delay between channels to achieve this effect. If you get a file like this and 
want to fix it, you can just pan one channel to the center while muting the 
other. I've heard the term stereoize to describe what you're hearing, and I try 
to fix this whenever I come across a file like this. If you simply convert one 
of these files to mono without muting one of the channels, then the file has a 
weird sound quality to it because of the channel delay being pressed into one 
channel.

Hello,

I'm one who enjoys listening to OTR shows on my Victor Reader Stream 2 on a 
daily basis.

I'm noticing a few of the stations (20th Century Radio for instance) seem to be 
broadcasting their stream in stereo. Very odd for I know that most, if not all 
OTR shows were recorded in momo.

How are they able to get low quality momo files to sound this good?

Would love to know their secret for I have a few mystery Old Time Radio shows 
I'd love to hear in stereo (Lights Out and Inner Sanctum in particular.)

Any ideas?

So by that do you mean that Goldwave can't see the Cue sheet embedded in 
the FLAC file until its decoded? I suppose that makes a lot of sense.


Players such as VLC can see the embedded Cue file.

Course if you were to save to another format FLAC for example - assuming
Goldwave supports this function - you could save your Cue points in the
file.

Upgrading Hi-Fi components

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi there!

I think one of the great joys I've had over the last 30 or so years is 
listening to music in ever increasing audio quality.


I was able - through luck and circumstance - get my hands on a hand made 
Microsieki CD Player 17 years ago which was in mink condition, for those 
who want to find out what's so special about this CD Player then your 
friend Google will find quite a bit of reading material for you.


The trick then was to find an integrated amp that would show off the 
best this CD Player could offer.


I had a Denon AVR2000 early model surround-sound integrated amp which - 
in 1992 - was a wonderful amp but I never seriously thought of it as an 
audio workhorse.


A couple of weeks ago a friend in Brisbane QLD - more than 1000 miles 
away from where I live - offered me his complete kit of Hi-Fi which 
included a Yamaha AS-1000 audiophile integrated amplifier, could this be 
the chance I've been looking for? Would this amp do justice to the 
Microsiki CD Player?


I negotiated a price and we then both had to work out how to get the 
gear from point A to point B, we were talking over 130 pounds here and 
the regular services such as Australia Post wouldn't have a bar of this 
sort of thing given the Amp and extra equipment had to be packed and 
then shipped.


We came across a firm called Pack And Send http://www.packandsend.com.au 
and they do exactly what their name suggests, give them the measurements 
of what needs packing, they'll give you a quote and - if you accept - 
they'll come out, take the goods away, pack them and send them.


Well the goods were packed and sent last Tuesday and I had them last 
Friday Afternoon, incredibly good going.


So I've connected the Amp to the CD Player and my dreams have come true, 
incredibly deep bass and a lovely silky top and that's just from the 
analogue audio ports onf the CD Player.


There's a little difference when listening through my Rotel DAC but not 
as much as I expected.


I expected the difference between listening to the DAC and the Analogue 
outputs of the CD Player to be greater given the age of the Microsiki CD 
Player but perhaps the hand picked components the CD Player is made from 
says a lot here.


Now to the AS-1000 amplifier and this piece is a true old school type 
amplifier, looking at it you're transported back in time to the 70s 
however this Amp is more modern than that.


The Amp does have a digital circuit which actually controls volume, 
Balance, Bass and treble even though the Amp has these controls as 
traditional analogue pots on the front, the pots don't actually control 
their respective functions in an analogue way rather they control the 
digital circut which in tern controls the output of each function.


When Balance etc are turned to their centre you hear a relay click as 
each is taken out of circuit - bypass or flat mode -, how very 
reassuring it is to hear those nice relays click off when the knobs 
reach their center positions and then click on again when they are moved.


The volume control again controls the volume through the digital circuit 
though it has a motor behind a gearbox which turns the knob when you use 
the volume up/down buttons on the remote control.


The AS-1000 should provide enough power at 90 Watts RMS per channel to 
drive most speakers.


I've not connected a turntable to the AS-1000 but when I do then the 
flexibility of the turntable arrangement will present itself, either a 
moving magnet or moving coil cartridge can be used.


If you wish to go further in your listening experience then you could 
connect either a pre-amp orp Power-amp  to this unit or perhaps a 
Sub-Woofer if you felt that way inclined, the AS-1000 has facilities for 
bi-amp speaker configurations.


The AS-1000 weighs in at 45 pound and has wooden sides with a font panel 
sparcely populated with knobs and dials, only what you need is here.


So you want to buy one of these amps new? Well I believe the Amp has 
been replaced with a newer model - the AS-1100 -, I did see a price of 
$2500 Australian on this amp several months ago so perhaps that gives 
you an idea of what you can expect to pay for one new.
