Setting up your hi-fi

[Walter via Pc-audio]

Hi folks.  Below is a link to an article by the Chord company about setting
up your hi-fi and the role good quality components play in such a system.
Of course the article speaks about things from the Chord companies product
point of view but the principles are interesting regardless of what brand
you use.  By the way this is Chord, the speaker cable and interconnects and
not the Khord Electronics company.  You will note the spelling is different.
Anyhow if it interests you the link is below.  Walter.

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.

RE: B P7 Wireless review | What Hi-Fi?

[John Gurd]

Hmm, I've got a good sounding pair of wireless headphones just now with some 
great features, namely the Plantronics Pros, but these seem like they ought to 
be excellent. Don't know if I can justify the outlay but I'm tempted... If you 
get to hear them let us know what you think.

IFA 2016: Sony targets golden ears with gold plated Hi-Res Audio range

[Dane Trethowan]

These products from Sony look very nice but I do wonder whether Sony - once 
again - have entered the audio race in a losing position? 36 years ago Sony 
were onto of the world with the introduction of the Walkman but since that time 
they’ve just relied on the name to sell their product whilst technology has 
marched on.
Sony played the catchup game whilst Apple and its iPod blasted everything 
before it and now? Well high res audio players are quite easy to get or its 
easy to adapt your Smart device so what’s the point? Perhaps Sony will tell us 
this time next year .

Re: Best AirPlay speakers 2016 | Best buys | What Hi-Fi?

[Dane Trethowan]

I take your points.

I know this is a step down but the B has two ways to select the source.

The first and simple mode is auto-select that is to say the speaker system will 
switch to whatever source just happens to be playing.

Failing that you use the source selector button on the remote controller which 
toggles between all 4 sources.

Most of the time however auto source selection does me just fine though I have 
to remember that if I switch on the DAB+ radio connected to the Digital input 
that my AirPlay stream will be interrupted.

RE: Best AirPlay speakers 2016 | Best buys | What Hi-Fi?

[John Gurd]

This looks very interesting, thanks. I've had a detailed look at the cheapest 
and the most expensive just out of interest. It strikes me as a blind consumer 
there's always the possibility that some modern design feature might make a 
good piece of kit unusable. For instance, the Monitor Audio Airstream S200 can 
select several types of input, including Bluetooth, USB, audio jack, Airplay 
and DLNA, but it's all done through one multi-select button. Sometimes without 
sound clues this can be a real pain. At the other end of the scale the Mu-so 
must sound fantastic but when I read it is controlled via on-screen controls 
I'd bet it would be impossible to actually operate by a totally blind user like 
myself. Still, at £895 I expect that's the least of my worries (smiles).

Hi!

Someone on this list wanted to know what was the best AirPlay speaker around? I 
mentioned the B A7 though I have to admit you do have to shell out an arm and 
a leg for one.

Using Google I found a roundup of the best AirPlay speakers that others may

The B A7 - whilst amongst the best - might be just out of range for a lot of 
people price wise so considering a good value for money alternative would 
therefore be a practical solution and that's where this guide comes in.

RE: Arcam MusicBoost adds a headphone amp, DAC and battery pack to iPhone 6 | What Hi-Fi?

[John Gurd]

A word of caution if you have a 6S as opposed to an iPhone 6. I saw a couple of 
reports of Amazon customers in the UK where people using the iPhone 6s had 
extreme difficulty removing the Music Boost once fitted to the phone. 
Apparently the 6S is fractions of a millimetre wider than the 6 and this is 
enough to cause too tight a fit. 

Also, be aware that the signal is one way, so the microphone and remote control 
functions of a headset style headphone will not work.

Article: Listen And Learn: The Changing Basics Of Hi-Fi

[Dane Trethowan]

This article comes from last Thursday's Age Green Guide, Google wasn't able to 
come up with a link to the article on the web for me so the text is quoted 
below thanks to KNFB Reader smile
Snip
 Headline, Listen and learn, by ROD EASDOWN.
 
 In the bedrooms of most teenagers in the 1960s and '70s you'd find a record 
 collection. In the '80s the favoured mode was a CD collection, and in the 
 '90s it became a collection of home-recorded
 CD-Rs with music ripped from the internet in MP3.
 In today's teenager's bedroom you're unlikely to find a physical music 
 collection - it's all on their phones, computers and iPads.
 It means that if you want to buy a good stereo music system for a teenager - 
 or yourself, for that matter - good enough to do justice to fine recordings 
 and generate a love of music that will last a lifetime, there's a new level 
 of complexity at work. Turntables, tape players and CD players probably 
 aren't the right tools.
 The basics are still the same: every system needs an amplifier and speakers. 
 You can get a good quality, great sounding amplifier with enough inputs to 
 allow plenty of expansion for about $400. Yamaha's AS201 is a great little 
 performer offering a lot of power - 100 watts per channel - for the money.
 It has some most worthwhile features. There's a pure-direct mode that 
 bypasses the tone and balance controls to enhance sound quality; a phono jack 
 for a turntable; a headphone plug; and the ability to drive two sets of 
 speakers. What it doesn't have is a radio tuner. If you want that, go for the 
 RS201 at the same price, but you won't find a pure direct mode.
 Speakers have a profound effect on the sound of a system because the sound of 
 one pair can be quite different to the sound of another.
 Most young people are into plenty of bass but people preferring classical 
 music will appreciate more accurate speakers with better high range 
 reproduction.
 We found some speakers from a company called Q Acoustics that impressed us 
 mightily for $399, with good reproduction across the full sound spectrum; and 
 Australian-made Krix Atomix at $499 are great value. Personally I think the 
 best sound for dollars equation comes with Focal's Chorus 705s at about $700 
 a pair, but B and W 686s, also $700, are also well worth listening to before 
 you choose.
 If you have a CD collection, or any music on disc, for that matter, a CD 
 player is probably needed. Make it a dedicated CD player, not a DVD player or 
 a Blu-ray. Players made for movies put a lot of emphasis on picture quality, 
 usually at the expense of sound quality, especially lower down the price 
 range, but CD players are all about quality sound. Yamaha has the CDS300 CD 
 player for $499, which is extremely impressive, and we like Marantz's CD5004 
 for $490, coming from a brand with a long heritage in great sound quality and 
 selling at a good price.
 It's compatible with MP3 and WMA formats and handles home recorded CD-R and 
 RWs and it has an optical-out if you want to bypass its internal 
 digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) and send the digital signal to a better 
 one. But it should be said the Marantz's DAC is a very good one for the 
 money. The DAC is where it starts to become complicated. If you have stored a 
 lot of music electronically, a good DAC will improve its quality markedly. 
 That's because the DACs inside iPads, computers and phones are basic and 
 mostly crappy.
 You can spend heaps on a DAC and the more you spend, the greater its 
 flexibility to handle multiple inputs and offer features like Bluetooth. 
 Cambridge Audio's DacMagic 100 at $299 is a good all-rounder and takes up to 
 four devices simultaneously. If you want something more basic look at the 
 DacMagic XS, at $199. This takes music from a computer to headphones, 
 bypassing the computer's soundcard.
 It's possible you'll want a turntable for playing vinyl records - lots of 
 people are into them, partly because they look cool and partly because so 
 many good records are available cheap at garage sales. Good turntables start 
 at about $400 to $500. Look at models from Pro-Ject and Rega.
 The essentials are the amplifier, the speakers, and either a DAC or a CD 
 player - other components can be worked in later - but the sound quality for 
 dollars equation here is arguably the best available.
 If you love your music, a system like this is not just brilliant value, it 
 could be a game changer.

Hi allAccessible Pitch correcter

[Quinten Pendle]

Is there perhaps such a thing out there?
We use Melodyne at the studio, but it's very, very graphical, and doesn't
really work with screen readers, as far as i can tell.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks very much.
 
All the best

My Hi-Fi Review Corrected

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I am publishing my review again as the new version contains many corrections 
and links to various products discussed.

Thanks for the invaluable feedback which has helped.
Snip
The following is a review of my new sound system, it was delivered yesterday 
and I’ve just spent an enjoyable time both setting it things up and listening 
to the result.
I decided to review my system not through sheer vanity but in the hope that my 
review may help some people, I know that the list often gets asked about 
accessible sound systems, computer speakers, amplifiers and associated 
equipment so perhaps I can deal with all these topics in the 1 review.
The system I set up is cheap by professional audiophile standards but 
nevertheless its certainly not the worst system out there and the system does 
your ears justice without a doubt.
The system isn’t complete yet by a long shot but the basics are in place and 
that’s what I’ll be focusing on.
My interest in building a new-hi-fi system was rekindled due to 2 factors, the 
first being the very poor quality of computer speaker systems around, there’s 
no doubt that if you’re prepared to pay you can get some wonderful! computer 
speaker systems but by the time you’ve paid? Well you may as well  have gone 1 
better in a complete Hi-Fi system and take advantage of all the extra benefits 
that brings, - excellent sound, your choice of custom components and the thrill 
of letting your imagination do the talking when it comes to building and trying 
it out. -
The second factor was a well known quality Hi-fi shop several miles out from 
Melbourne’s City Centre, they’ve been in business now for 60 years and should 
know there stuff, they certainly have many of the big well known high end 
brands on sale such as Denon, Rotel, Audio Research, B  W etc, it so happened 
that the store - Encel Stereo - were having a big sale, I just happened to be 
following Encel Stereo on Twitter thus could see the many items on offer.
So when going through my Tweets one morning I noticed that Encel Stereo had a 
40 watt per channel continuous power integrated Rotel amplifier for sale for 
under $400.00, I jokingly replied “So what speakers could you sell me for this 
amp” and I got the suggestion back of some Polk Audio bookshelf speakers for 
around the same price.
At the same time I was becoming more and more annoyed at computer speakers, I 
had purchased the Harman Karden Sound Sticks and was extremely disappointed at 
the cheap construction, - non replaceable cable between speakers etc - so I 
began thinking about Amp, Speakers and associated topics.
The usual arguments filtered through my head, “I already have a good 
surround-sound setup in the lounge, what do I really need another Hi-Fi system 
before? Its a good amount of money I’ll be spending, will it all be worth the 
while? Don’t want to waste money on Hi-fi like I’ve done with computer 
speakers” and on it went.
So time to use my friend “Google” and do some research into Rotel amplifiers 
and Polk Audio speakers and all reviews and associated articles spoke of Polk 
Audio and Rotel in a positive light.
The fact of customisation and all replaceable components drew my attention even 
more so a fortnight ago I went to the Encel Stereo web site and made my 
purchase, I also bought some screened speaker cable with the thought that, “If 
a job’s worth doing then its worth doing well’, after the purchase including 
shipping I had change from $1,000.00 Australian so bare in mind if you’re 
living in the U.S. that prices are bound to be cheaper than here.
Now for the juicy bits and I’ll start with the Amplifier which actually 
resembles a slim line tuner more than an amp given its thickness which is more 
thin than thick.
When Rotel said they’d gone “Back To Basics” with the design then they weren’t 
kidding in the slightest, this amp is indeed a very basic amp with most of the 
features you’ll ever need.
All the controls on the front of the unit are rotary controls accept the 
“Bypass” and “Power” buttons.
The amp has the usual volume, balance, Bass and Treble pots along with a couple 
of surprises.
There are 2 3.5MM jacks to the right of the power button, at first I thought 
these were both headphone jacks but no, 1 is a “Music Port” so you can plug 
your music player directly into this and the other is the headphones jack, 
first time I’ve seen a 3.5MM headphones jack on an amp but I guess it makes all 
the sense in the world.
The amp has 4 sets of line in sockets, tape in and out, a set of fono sockets 
for a turntable and preamp out sockets, quite a good collection of connections 
by anyone’s standardds.
The speaker output connectors are your usual A/B configuration of binding posts.
The Polk Audio bookshelf speakers are smaller than what I expected, actually 
they’re not all that much bigger than some of the computer speakers I’ve seen 
but when connected? Well there’s no doubt about it, the sound produced from 
those puts most

The right way to go if you want to listen to music.

Stay away from home theatre stuff  with all the bells and whistles.

You cannot go wrong with rotel anyway.

Sorry about the typing errors in that review, I wrote it in my word processor, 
hurried a bit and forgot to turn the spell checker on, I've since corrected the 
problems but its probably not worth posting all over again.

Wel, if you need a software, then sonar is very accessible with either
the JSonar scrits, or the CakeTalking scripts. If you need a hardware
daw, then you might want to look at the Yamaha motief, or roland
fantum g wich have accessibility up to a point.

Re: Hi i have a question for the liste

[Richard Claypool]

Hi,

Soundforge costs a loty of money.  You'd be just fine with audacity.  There 
are tutorials for using it with screenreaders, keyboard, etc.  As I use 
goldwave, I don't know much about the program.


They all sound alike, the difference is in how audio is edited.

[Rich De Steno]

If you want to record records, then noise reduction is a big issue.  My 
experience with Goldwave and Audacity is that Audacity is far superior 
between the two in noise reduction.  However, Audacity is a much more 
complex program and is somewaht more difficult to learn and use.

hi list I have a serado and jfw question again.

[aadorno]

hi I know I asked this question before but since my computer died a few months 
ago I lost the reply that I saved so I am doing it over again.
I would like to know can serado and jaws work together, because I am thinking 
about getting it, but I have been  hearing that a blind person can not use it.
are there scripts out there and if there are scripts how much are they?
thanks so much for your time.

RE: Accessable Hard Drive for Hi Fi

[Joe Paton]

You may have a problem if the external drive goes into standbye mode 
as some of them do.  The spin-up process, then the reading process 
may as has been mentioned, rely for smoothe audio results depend on 
some player buffering.

You can probably set a reasonable size cache on the external drive as well.

Others on this list will know better than I do about such things however.

Good luck.

I was thinking it would be slow whenever you were copying files over to
or from the USB drive over that 1.1 USB connection. I'm not sure if the
access rate over a 1.1 USB connection would be so slow as to effect your
ability to play audio off a drive attached to such a port. It would
probably work, but your player may have to do a tiny bit of buffering.

There's a few things you can do to see if you have more hard drive space
out there. When you go into My computer, do you see any other drives
listed besides the C drive? If so, they may be other partitions on your
hard drive.

You can also use Windows Disk Management to see how your hard drive is
partitioned. Go to your desktop, arrow over to My Computer, and hit the
shift+f10, right mouse button or applications key to bring up the
context menu. Arrow down to Manage and hit enter. Now you can arrow down
to Storage, Disk Management and then tab over to check out how your
drive is partitioned.

 You will free up space by deleting programs you aren't using, but
 depending on the programs, it probably won't be very much. How much
 data are you talking about transferring? Are any other partitions
 besides C listed? there may be a recovery partition that you could
 steal, if you don't care about ever recovering the machine or if you
 already have recovery CD's burned. BTW, what OS is running on this
 machine?

 When you ask about additional memory, are you talking about RAM or
 hard drive space? How much RAM is there now? Prices on memory and hard
 drives only come down, so finding hardware for older systems can end
 up costing you enough to make it worth buying a real cheap low end
 system. Since it's a laptop, you'd have to replace the drive that's
 there, which would mean a lot of work reinstalling Windows onto the
 new hard drive, assuming you have a license and the install media for
 Windows. Depending on how much RAM you have and how much the laptop
 will support, you may be able to add more, but this probably won't buy
 you anything when it comes to storing media files on the hard drive.
 Something like Crucial.com at http://www.crucial.com/ can take you
 through the RAM upgrade process.

 You could use an external drive, but I think you'd find the speed
 frustrating.

 I can think of a few options. One would be to use an FM transmitter. 
 You could attach an FM transmitter to your PC and then broadcast the 
 music from your PC and pick it up on your stereo, assuming you have a 
 FM receiver as part of your stereo. I don't have one myself, but I'm 
 sure others can chime in with more details, opinions and information.

 You can also use a few different technologies to broadcast music from 
 your PC over wifi or bluetooth to a receiver that you could then 
 attach to your stereo. Apple TV and Airport Express would be two such 
 examples, and others can speak to them with much greater detail than I 
 can.

 A third option is to go with an accessible portable media player with 
 enough storage and then attaching it to your stereo system. Even if 
 your stereo system doesn't have a lot of connectors, you should be 
 able to find connectors that run from your MP3 player into the 
 auxiliary  input of your stereo receiver. Note that you'd still have 
 to have this level of connection if you were using a wifi or bluetooth 
 receiver. You could avoid this with the FM transmitter though. This is 
 the route I went. Not because it was superior to any of the other 
 methods, but rather it just fit my needs.

 With this method, I have a portable MP3 player with most of my music. 
 I can use this when traveling, exercising, sitting in the waiting room 
 or whatever. I can also attach it to the stereo in my living room, the 
 powered external speakers in my bedroom or the audio input jack of my 
 wife's car. For MP3 players, you have a few different options. You can 
 go with an off the shelf MP3 player that will run Rockbox. This would 
 be the cheapest route. You could go with an iPod. Finally, you could

There's a few things you can do to see if you have more hard drive space 
out there. When you go into My computer, do you see any other drives 
listed besides the C drive? If so, they may be other partitions on your 
hard drive.

You can also use Windows Disk Management to see how your hard drive is 
partitioned. Go to your desktop, arrow over to My Computer, and hit the 
shift+f10, right mouse button or applications key to bring up the
context menu. Arrow down to Manage and hit enter. Now you can arrow down 
to Storage, Disk Management and then tab over to check out how your 
drive is partitioned.

 You will free up space by deleting programs you aren't using, but 
 depending on the programs, it probably won't be very much. How much 
 data are you talking about transferring? Are any other partitions 
 besides C listed? there may be a recovery partition that you could 
 steal, if you don't care about ever recovering the machine or if you 
 already have recovery CD's burned. BTW, what OS is running on this 
 machine?

 When you ask about additional memory, are you talking about RAM or 
 hard drive space? How much RAM is there now? Prices on memory and hard 
 drives only come down, so finding hardware for older systems can end 
 up costing you enough to make it worth buying a real cheap low end 
 system. Since it's a laptop, you'd have to replace the drive that's 
 there, which would mean a lot of work reinstalling Windows onto the 
 new hard drive, assuming you have a license and the install media for 
 Windows. Depending on how much RAM you have and how much the laptop 
 will support, you may be able to add more, but this probably won't buy 
 you anything when it comes to storing media files on the hard drive. 
 Something like Crucial.com at http://www.crucial.com/ can take you 
 through the RAM upgrade process.

 You could use an external drive, but I think you'd find the speed 
 frustrating.

I was thinking it would be slow whenever you were copying files over to
or from the USB drive over that 1.1 USB connection. I'm not sure if the
access rate over a 1.1 USB connection would be so slow as to effect your
ability to play audio off a drive attached to such a port. It would
probably work, but your player may have to do a tiny bit of buffering.

There's a few things you can do to see if you have more hard drive space

I can think of a few options. One would be to use an FM transmitter. You 
could attach an FM transmitter to your PC and then broadcast the music 
from your PC and pick it up on your stereo, assuming you have a FM 
receiver as part of your stereo. I don't have one myself, but I'm sure 
others can chime in with more details, opinions and information.

You can also use a few different technologies to broadcast music from 
your PC over wifi or bluetooth to a receiver that you could then attach 
to your stereo. Apple TV and Airport Express would be two such examples, 
and others can speak to them with much greater detail than I can.

A third option is to go with an accessible portable media player with 
enough storage and then attaching it to your stereo system. Even if your 
stereo system doesn't have a lot of connectors, you should be able to 
find connectors that run from your MP3 player into the auxiliary  input 
of your stereo receiver. Note that you'd still have to have this level 
of connection if you were using a wifi or bluetooth receiver. You could 
avoid this with the FM transmitter though. This is the route I went. Not 
because it was superior to any of the other methods, but rather it just 
fit my needs.

With this method, I have a portable MP3 player with most of my music. I 
can use this when traveling, exercising, sitting in the waiting room or 
whatever. I can also attach it to the stereo in my living room, the 
powered external speakers in my bedroom or the audio input jack of my 
wife's car. For MP3 players, you have a few different options. You can 
go with an off the shelf MP3 player that will run Rockbox. This would be 
the cheapest route. You could go with an iPod. Finally, you could go 
with an MP3 player tailored specifically for the blind, such as the 
Booksense. Each have their relative strenghts.

That's my $0.02.

You will free up space by deleting programs you aren't using, but 
depending on the programs, it probably won't be very much. How much data 
are you talking about transferring? Are any other partitions besides C 
listed? there may be a recovery partition that you could steal, if you 
don't care about ever recovering the machine or if you already have 
recovery CD's burned. BTW, what OS is running on this machine?


When you ask about additional memory, are you talking about RAM or hard 
drive space? How much RAM is there now? Prices on memory and hard drives 
only come down, so finding hardware for older systems can end up costing 
you enough to make it worth buying a real cheap low end system. Since 
it's a laptop, you'd have to replace the drive that's there, which would 
mean a lot of work reinstalling Windows onto the new hard drive, 
assuming you have a license and the install media for Windows. Depending 
on how much RAM you have and how much the laptop will support, you may 
be able to add more, but this probably won't buy you anything when it 
comes to storing media files on the hard drive. Something like

Why a separate hard drive? Rip all your music to your computer's hard drive; 
get a high-quality sound card; patch its output into an auxiliary input on 
your amplifier; and use Winamp or another media player to play your music. 
That's what I do.

would suggest you do not encode under 320 kbps if using mp3 or if at all
possible some kind of lossless format.

Subject: Re: Accessable Hard Drive for Hi Fi

Why a separate hard drive? Rip all your music to your computer's hard drive;
get a high-quality sound card; patch its output into an auxiliary input on
your amplifier; and use Winamp or another media player to play your music. 
That's what I do.

 Hi All,

 I wonder if you can assist.
 For use whilst on the move I rip all my music directly to MP3.
 I still use a traditional hi fi for listening at home I would like for 
 a few reasons to pack away the c d 's and use something I can connect 
 to my hi fi to listen to music at home.
 I am using a basic separates system that includes a Cyrus amplifyer 
 with little or no fancy connections.
 I do not need an ipod for listening on the move otherwise I may go 
 down that route.
 Is there some sort of hard drive I could use that is accessible and I 
 can just copy all the MP3's to.
 Yes when it comes to hi fi I am about 15 years out of date but hey the 
 Cirus amp used to be leading edge and it still works!
 Thanks for your assistance
 Colin

Hello Garry,
In some places here in the USA, there isn't a Best Buy.
So your only choices are Wal-mart and RadioShack unless you want to get 
someone to drive you out of your home town in order to buy a receiver that 
has those kind of inputs.
But even at Best Buy, you're gonna pay about a grand for a stereo receiver 
like that, even if it's made by SONY!

My best regards.

Hello Howard,
Yes, you can buy a stereo receiver that has a digital input.
But don't go to places like Wal-Mart and or RadioShack to look for this 
kind of a beast, because you won't find it there.

Those receivers are about $1500 and up.
And they are made by companies like Dennon Onkeo Marance and Crell just

You will find these receivers in specialty high end stereo shops.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's

Hello Garry,
Those are pretty good too as well.
But if I were to get a DA converter, I would look for two things.
#1. Sense I will be using it with my computer, I would look for the DA 
converter to have some kind of USB inter face.

#2. Just about all of my equipment has vacuum tubes in it.
So to stay true to that tube sound, I would look for the DA converter to 
have a pare of 12AX7 tubes on the analog output stage.

Those are out there, but they cost some what a pretty penny.
My best regards.

Of course, when you use an FM transmitter, you don't get the full frequency 
range.  Doesn't matter to me because I'm old and my high frequencies are 
fading.  Also depends upon if it's a legal FM transmitter; the upper 
frequency limit is 15 KHz.  A good hi-fi stereo system will produce 20KHz. 
I used to could hear those high harmonics.

Hello John,
Then the suggestion I made to you, is correct.
An FM radio transmitter that is hooked up to the line out jack of your 
sound


card, will serve you best.
Even with running long cables, you are looking at a grater resistance.
Which means, you will loose some of the audio signal before it gets from
point a to point b.
The shorter the cable, the lesser the resistance.
Hope this helps.
My best regards.
 John.

HI about 20 foot and the worst thing the hifi is going to be over the
other
side of the room so the method would have to I'va by wire go around the
outside of the room or signal can go through a 9inch wall

Hello John,
How close are the two rooms your computer and stereo systems are in?
I'm asking because if there too far away from each other, then the best
way
to go about that is to use a FM radio transmitter.
All depending where you look, they can be gotten for as little as $35 or
as
much as $300.
Hope this helps.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's

[DJ DOCTOR P]

Hello Dan,
I have my computer and stereo system hooked up like that right now.
But only, I'm using an old Fisher 500-c stereo receiver that has vacuum 
tubes in it that was made in 1963.
My speakers are comprised of 2 Jensen P12N alnico drivers in each cab that 
are crossed over to 20 HZ for woofers and a Jensen 8QR alnico driver in each 
cab that are crossed over to 60 HZ for mid ranges and 4 horns in each cab 
that are also crossed over to 256 HZ for the high end.
I get pretty close to studio quality sound from this set up, and it sounds 
grate!
I did once have a pare of 32 watt mono block tube amps that I built from a 
set of S-5 Electronic kits, but I lost them in a tornado a copal of years 
ago right along with my house that was also destroyed in the tornado as 
well.

But the good news is, I am in a brand new house.
So I was able to reconfigure my whole system to sound like I once did 
before.

My best regards.
 John.

Hi John,
I used a 25 foot stereo cable  with one y-cable having a mail transister 
jack on one end (these are the standard for headphones on small walkmen 
etc.)  On the other end are two female rca jacks (in my day we called 
these pin jacks.  You would plug the male rca jacks from one end of your 
25 foot stereo cable into the female jacks on the y-cable. Plug the male 
transister jack into the out of your pc.  this is where you normally  plug 
in speakers. Plug the two remaining mail rca jacks into the in jacks of 
your  stereo system. Now when your stereo is on the   augsiliary setting. 
Now when using your computer it should come through your stereo.

But you're right about one thing, today's stereo and AV receivers can

Only my opinion but you can't go past a sound card or board with a

digital output of your sound card, you'll notice one huge difference in 
doing this than if you were to say connect your computers sound card 
headphone or line-out jack to an aux in on a Hi-Fi system.

Hello Howard,
Yes, you can buy a stereo receiver that has a digital input.
But don't go to places like Wal-Mart and or RadioShack to look for this kind 
of a beast, because you won't find it there.

Those receivers are about $1500 and up.
And they are made by companies like Dennon Onkeo Marance and Crell just to 
name a few.

You will find these receivers in specialty high end stereo shops.
My best regards.

you can get TOSlink cables that are thirty feet long. look for an analog to

Hello John,
How close are the two rooms your computer and stereo systems are in?
I'm asking because if there too far away from each other, then the best way 
to go about that is to use a FM radio transmitter.
All depending where you look, they can be gotten for as little as $35 or as 
much as $300.

Hope this helps.
My best regards.

Hi John,
I used a 25 foot stereo cable  with one y-cable having a mail transister 
jack on one end (these are the standard for headphones on small walkmen 
etc.)  On the other end are two female rca jacks (in my day we called these 
pin jacks.  You would plug the male rca jacks from one end of your 25 foot 
stereo cable into the female jacks on the y-cable. Plug the male transister 
jack into the out of your pc.  this is where you normally  plug in speakers. 
Plug the two remaining mail rca jacks into the in jacks of your  stereo 
system. Now when your stereo is on the   augsiliary setting.  Now when using 
your computer it should come through your stereo.

Hello John,
How close are the two rooms your computer and stereo systems are in?
I'm asking because if there too far away from each other, then the best 
way to go about that is to use a FM radio transmitter.
All depending where you look, they can be gotten for as little as $35 or 
as much as $300.

Hope this helps.
My best regards.
 John.

HI about 20 foot and the worst thing the hifi is going to be over the other
side of the room so the method would have to I'va by wire go around the
outside of the room or signal can go through a 9inch wall

Hi John,

I listen daily to music from my computer on my home stereo 
and through my bose wave radio on my deck.  I do this by employing a 
good fm transmitter.  Connect it to the output of your sound card and 
you can then broadcast to your equipment.  I have been using this 
solution for years.  I can even listen to my music and podcasts in a 
car in my driveway.  Hope this helps.

Rusty
p.s.  this method saves you the mess and clutter of long wires.

Only my opinion but you can't go past a sound card or board with a digital 
output, if your system has a digital input then connect it to the digital 
output of your sound card, you'll notice one huge difference in doing this than 
if you were to say connect your computers sound card headphone or line-out jack 
to an aux in on a Hi-Fi system.

Keep in mind though that if you really want good sound such a cable should
be connected to a line out and not a headphone or speaker out socket.

Hi, I'm a new list member

[mbern6516]

Hello,I just subscribed to the pc-audio mailing list today, and just 
wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mike. I live in the western New 
York area, Rochester, NY. to be exact. Although I have good computer 
skills, I’m no computer geek. I serve as a volunteer dj at a local 
community college, to which I’m also a student of here in Rochester. 
I’m interested in learning about how to burn audio cds, so that I can 
supplement my existing physical cd library.
I'm currently using Windows xp and Windows media player 11. To be 
completely honest, I've never, ever burnt a cd before in my life, and 
don't know the first thing about doing that stuff. Sometimes digital 
technology can be very overwhelming, even for a young person like 
myself. If any of you have ever done it, could someone give me 
step-by-step instructions, as to an accessible way to burn audio cds 
that will play in any cd player, using wmp 11? The screen reader I’m 
currently using, is Window-eyes 6.1. Basically, I'd like to know how to 
burn an audio cd in wmp 11 using just the keyboard itself, I'd prefer 
not to  mess with the mouse. Finally, in windows media player 11, I’ve 
noticed, that in the burn menu, I am given four options for the speed 
of the burning process:

1.  fastest
2.  fast
3.  medium
4.  slow. Is it necessary to adjust the burn speed? And also in the 
drop-down menu within this same dialog, it says, “add a list of all 
burned files to the disc in this format. The top-most option in this 
menu, is .wpl, and it’s selected by default. What does this mean? I'm 
looking forward to talking with all of you on the list.

Mike
Rochester, NY.
P.S. Just for clairification, are the built-in utility found in Windows 
xp and windows media player two different programs? Or is the utility 
part of windows media player. I already know, that windows media player 
automatically inserts seconds of silence between audio tracks, but is 
there any way to turn that option off? For example, what if I’m burning 
an album, which already has seconds of silence between the tracks. Is 
there any way to prevent the player from inserting silence between 
tracks when burning?

RE: Hi, I'm a new list member

[Blackwell, Clifford]

Hello Mike,

Before trying to give some help, I have a question.  Are you wanting to copy 
whole cds or individual tracks or both?  If what you really want is to 
supplement your personal collection, then finding a piece of software that will 
directly copy a disk would be your best bet.  Try looking at 
http://www.jaws-users.com or http://www.blind-computing.com for free or low 
cost software to perform direct copying of a cd.

If, however, you want to access your music on your computer in .wav or some 
compressed format such as .mp3 or .wma, you will first need to rip the tracks 
from the disk to your computer.  I can only give generally directions for using 
WMP for this as it's not how I do it.  You can use WMP or a variety of free or 
for cost programs to performing the ripping part.

I think in WMP, you place your source disk in the disk drive, and go to the rip 
menu in WMP.  There you will have various selections to make as to quality and 
format..  Generally speaking, the higher the sampling rate, the better the 
quality, but the larger the file size.  When you rip the tracks to your 
harddrive, they will generally wind up in the My Music folder of you’re my 
Documents folder.  I believe that you can set WMP to automatically rip the 
tracks of any previously unripped disk when you put a disk in your disk drive.

I'm going to beg off trying to describe how to burn disks in WMP, as I've never 
really figured that out myself.  I believe you should be able to find a 
tutorial on either of the pages I previously provided.

Sorry if this is a bit sketchy, but the considerations are one you need to make 
to help us give you more info.  Use the sources of info at Jaws-users and 
blind-computing, they're great.  There is an exceptionally good tutorial on the 
use of WMP.

As far as speed of burning, my experience has been that a lower burn rate than 
the highest yields the best results.  I would suggest medium or fast instead of 
fastest.

Good luck starting out.

Re: Hi-fi soundcard

[Kevin Lloyd]

Hi Andy.

What you're doing at the moment is having your Yamaha AV unit do the digital 
to analogue conversion for you and the sound blaster is purely transfering 
the digital signal from your computer to the AV unit.  The Musical Fidelity 
V-DAC would be doing the digital to analogue conversion instead of the 
Yamaha and so it would be a direct comparison between the two.  I would 
suspect little difference in the sound quality.


If you were using analogue output from the sound blaster I would expect the 
V-DAC would do a much better job as it is a discreet piece of hi-fi kit that 
is powered separately and is built specifically for high quality music 
reproduction.

Hi Kevin.

I had a look at this device as I'm thinking of an alternative to my Creative
Soundblaster 24 bit external card.

At the moment, I have my Soundblaster sending the audio file via it's optic
out, into a Yamaha AV unit.  The quality of the sound is really very good.

The V-DAC has an analogue output, which would simply go into my CD phono
inputs on the Yamaha.

Kevin, I thought that the quality of Optic was much better than Phono?  Are
you saying that the V-DAC, plugged into my computer's USB and to my CD
Phono's on the AV unit are as good or better than the Soundblaster with it's
optic output to the AV unit?


Very best wishes.

Andy.

Hi John,

Thanks for the advice. I must admit that I discarded the Sound blaster cards
in advance. I suppose the digital connections will be ok, since a bit is a
bit. However, their d/a-converters don't have a very good reputation with
me. Maybe they have improved, or maybe I am just prejudiced, but I was
originally going for a more high-end solution. Do Sound blaster actually
make high-end cards, or is is it just gaming and surround stuff, like I
thought it was? Are there any good alternatives?

Can anyone help me?
I need a high-end hi-fi soundcard with an accessible configuration

All i really need is stereo analogue and digital inputs and outputs

I have been doing some digging on vacuum tube sound cards, and this is what

I found a tube amplifier that has a USB inter face that bypasses your

It has a 24 bit 156 kHz DAT converter.
But it is kind of pricy.
This unit sails for $750
I will get back to you with the link to this thing later.

Re: Hi-fi soundcard

Hi Andy,

I honestly couldn't say if there would be any issues with the trends audio 
device under vista.  I'm using it with an xp system, and found no problems 
at all, the unit requiring no drivers to be installed, setup was very 
simple.


I purchased it from a company called desktop audio near manchester, where 
the guy was very helpful in answering any questions.


Best regards,

Tim.

Hi Tim.

This device sounds like something I'd be very much interested in.

I've been using the Soundblaster for several years to take the optic from 
my computer to my Arcam AV.  Not too bothered about recording at this 
time, so an output device would seem to meet my needs.


Dio you know if this unit has any problems with VISTA?, or does it work 
better on XP Home computers?  Finally, do you know if it's available here 
in Scotland?


I've been a lover of Creative for some years now but feel that they are 
not longer interested.  This is why I'm interested in other similar 
devices.


Very best wishes.
Andy.

Hi Bue,

I'm using a little device here called the UD10.1 audio converter from 
Trends audio.  It connects to your pc via usb, and has a variety of 
outputs including both optical and coaxual s-pdif, XLR, and BNC.  The 
3.5mm headphone socket also doubles as a line output, and provides phono 
out by means of a 3.5mm to RCA connector.


I have the ud-10.1 feeding a Beresford DAC, via the coax digital out, 
which in turn connects to the amplifier with good quality rca 
interconnects.


My music files are in lossless flac format, and I am very happy with the 
results, with sound quality being as good as, and probably better than my 
Arcam Alpha 9 cd player.


I should say that the ud-10.1 is solely an output device, so if you wish 
to record, another method would have to be considered.


Best regards,

Tim.

You'll find quite a few of the newer hi-fi dacs have a usb input expressly 
for this purpose.  You could have a look at the musical fidelity and Arcam 
dacs which I think both have usb options.

This thread made me wonder  just what audio interfaces are available these
days.



Browsing the page shown below shows that there are quite a few audio
interfaces available but they are not necessarily hi fi sound cards.



However, it seems that most hi fi sound cards these days come with only one
input which doubles as microphone input and line input and a headphone jack.
If you are prepared to go the extra mile, you might get a SP/DIFF output.



Are we being forced to buy audio interfaces like those listed below just to
get something we can simultaneously plug a microphone and input from a
recorder?



Could it be that manufacturers think that we should be content with glorious
surround sound and not be creative?



Given the needs of so many people creating podcasts, you would think that
there would be more  sound cards with multiple inputs and outputs but it
seems that people who want to do that are being pushed in the direction of
the audio interfaces listed below.

[Brent Harding]

That's it's only problem, it kind of uses that thing that Creative used that 
isn't real accessible. I can do what I need through the volume control in 
windows, but there's probably things in that panel that aren't accessible 
like environmental effects and so on.

My turtle beach Montego DDL sounds quite good compared to the SBLive I had
in my old machine. It has optical in and out, a mic in, line in, line out,
and a couple other jacks I'm not sure what for. I think those are surround,
wouldn't it be nice if one could just have an extra wave device in Windows
to just use them as separate output of something completely different.

SV: Hi-fi soundcard

[Bue Vester-Andersen]

Hi,

I think this is exactly  what I am looking for, providing that it can
convert both ways at minimum 96 KHz / 24 bits. I'll definitely go and
explore it tomorrow.

Best regards and thanks a lot
Bue

Yes, if you're looking for pure high quality playback then I'd recommend the
Musical Fidelity V-DAC.  This is a real piece of hi-fi kit produced by a
well respected hi-fi brand rather than a piece of computer kit.  It will
connect via USB and can be bought for approx. £150 from www.superfi.co.uk

Regards.

Speaking of high sound quality - I would be in the market for a very good
digital to analog converter simply to use my computer connected to a good
stereo system.

Is there anything better than the xitel for example?

Hi John,

Thanks for the advice. I must admit that I discarded the Sound blaster cards
in advance. I suppose the digital connections will be ok, since a bit is a
bit. However, their d/a-converters don't have a very good reputation with
me. Maybe they have improved, or maybe I am just prejudiced, but I was
originally going for a more high-end solution. Do Sound blaster actually
make high-end cards, or is is it just gaming and surround stuff, like I
thought it was? Are there any good alternatives?

Best regards
Bue

 Hi.

 Can anyone help me?
 I need a high-end hi-fi soundcard with an accessible configuration
 interface and that is compatible with Windows 7. It is going to sit in
 my hi-fi pc, so I don't really need surround sound or 64 channels..
 All i really need is stereo analogue and digital inputs and outputs
 and a card that will do the job and do it really well.

 Best regards

Re: Hi-fi soundcard

[Les Gordon]

for a soundcard like this, most likely part of the card might be a external 
box. unless they make something that would fit into a large tower case that 
offers more bays. i am using creative soundblaster xfi. and i get a nice 
warm sound out of that. it gives a million options for the sound. but the 
tube one will definantely sound better.

High SUNSHINE,
Someone at a loco stereo shop told me this, but I haven't had a chance to
check it out yet.
I will get in to this sometime today.
I will get back to the list and let you all know about my findings.
My best regards!

High once again,
I don't know how true this is, but I hear that Sound Blaster is coming out
with a card that uses a pare of 12AX7 tubes for the line out, and a pare of
12AU7 tubes for the line and mike ins.
Word has it that this card will be out some time next year.
If that happens, then I won't need a preamp that has tubes to get that warm
sound transferred from my old records and cassettes.
I am wondering 2 things.
For starters, how will the card with tubes and all fit in to any desktop
computer?
And how much will it cost?
My best regards!
 John.
