Yes, vinyl can be an expensive hobby. But it doesn't have to be that expensive. Back in the day, I used one of these for my low output...

So if one plays an old CD having pre-emphasis with this DAC, it will sound excessively shrill/bright unless he has a way to apply the...

Along those lines, here's a great album to test bass response: two guys (Meyer & McBride) playing bass violins together. On a system...

That's common. Many people find that light dynamic compression and just a bit of EQ such as mid-treble or bass emphasis enhances the...

OK so I gave it a listen from Qobuz, which is uncompressed straight FLAC. And to compare with a modern recording, I used the LSO Live...

Same as this? https://play.qobuz.com/album/m5pflf5bk38ea

Every rule has its exceptions. Tell me exactly what recording it is. I'll listen to it and get back to you.

I'd like to apply the above lesson and correct my comparison of the Fossi's distortion single tone vs. multi-tone. Multi-tone, the tips...

I find that most recordings from that era aren't very good. Well that's a subjective term and sounds like a judgement, so I'll say they...

Thanks for the link. However, that formula applies only if the waves are orthogonal. Are they? Assuming they are, I got a different...

When I do the same in REW, (1/3 octave from 20 to 20 k), I can set the level as high as about -8.7 dBV before it clips. Here, -8.79...

PS: this also suggests that a pink noise multi-tone may show higher distortion than white noise, because it has more low frequency...

Yes, this is what I was asking. So compared to a single tone, the multitone test can go either way: the device can produce higher...

If it's the area under the curve, then it depends on frequency and amplitude. Big low frequency waves eat it up the most? If so, then...
