Thanks for sharing this. I was aware how complex Pipe organs are, but this was a fascinating deeper dive. My musician wife sitting next to watching would comment about the same time on some points.

Oh yes we do.

As noted above, I still am using an Audiophile 2496 to record LPs using its analog inputs from my phono preamps outputs. It's a Win10 PC not a Win7 as I stated above (originally it was Win 7). I've had no issues using the card, but the PC is 12 years old (maybe older) and I'm thinking about...

I still have an Audiophile 2496 in my Win7 PC that I use to record LPs to digital. Still works quite well.

I always figured it was because Comcast didn't want people running servers out of their homes.

No.

I've a 2nd generation iPhone SE and the only time I really listen to the speakers is when my wife and I do our daily walks together. The sound is surprisingly good for what it is, but when I walk alone I wear blue tooth earbuds.

This post did prompt my memory that I have a Sansui tuner from the 1980s boxed away in a closet since I have either a receiver or a pre-processor that includes a tuner for all three of the systems set up in my house. I can't remember, however, the last time I listened to the radio outside my car...

One might also differentiate between A radio (a device as described above) and THE radio (i.e. broadcasts over radio waves that are received by radios and tuners). Hence, I can use a tuner to listen to the radio. :D

Back in '73, when you could order essentially sales pamphlets off an information card of most of their advertisers included in each issue of Stereo Review, McIntosh was something I lusted after as a 17 year old building a Dynaco SCA-80Q kit (along with Klipschorn speakers, though God knows where...

But regarding the latter, the question one should ask oneself is "WHY do I like it more". "It sounds better" is, using the proper techniques with properly designed and functioning electronics, generally demonstrably NOT the accurate answer.

How much higher are we talking? I mean, I have 67 year old ears, in a 20' by 19' room, and don't even listen to movies THAT loud. I was reading the review on the Emotiva XPS-1 phono preamp, which I've had for years, and realized I've never turned up the volume without music playing to hear if I...

Tempting. But I also realized, if I'm not mistaken, I could get a 6-Channel NC252MPs and bridge three pairs of channels for LCR and then an 8-channel for the rest of the channels.

Thanks. Makes sense, but not sure my OCD would let me do that. ;) But I am interested in swapping out my Class AB amps for something that runs cooler in the summer. I'll give it some more thought.

This may be answered previously in the thread, but curious as to why your multi-channel amps are all even number of channels? I run an 11.2 Atmos system and as far as I'm aware (albeit haven't kept up much in the last few years) most multichannel speaker systems are odd numbered. Why only even...

Amazing they're selling all they can produce.

Each to his own, I guess.

It may be inferior, but it is certainly not "obsolete" since it is still in use in probably 99% of all new audio equipment. In over 50 years of being a "hi-fi nut", I don't believe I've ever damaged a piece of equipment by plugging in an RCA cable. And, yes, even though one should not, I have...

Thank you. You would think when a Moderator writes "please stop" people would have the good sense to do so. Alas...

On his Facebook Group a few years ago I made the comment that it was hard to resist the pressure of advertising dollars when something similar was posted. I got kicked out of the group.
