Saxon Pub, 1320 S. Lamar. Spanker's manager said live venues in Austin were shrinking big time. That sux. Dave

The smokers were rowdier. Some of the smoke smelled a bit funny. ;-) Also, note I lost 37:00 of the second show to the rogue exhaust fan. Dave

What follows is reposted from the 2 channel area of the Klipsch Forum I normally inhabit but have rec'd a rather minimal response to the below. As I feel the issue is important and HT folks have the systems to be able to play it back, I am opening it here. It's been a while since I was here and...

Let me repeat. I have 25.00 into my Sony P-4300 and Stanton 681EEE, and it sounds better than any CD player, as good as all but the very finest SACD and DVD-A. I record at 24/196 so I've the material to make that statement. Granted, in the back I've a far superior turntable, arm and...

Outstanding. Hard to argue with the Rega. You might consider the DBX. I don't EQ, mix, transcode, or do ANYTHING to my recordings. But I've been using DBX machines with my turntables since the 117 back in 1974, and there are precious few LP's I listen without it. Perhaps 200 gram direct to...

OK, you probably aren't going to want to hear this, but listen anyway. While CD at 16/44.1 is just ducky for rock or electrically generated music, it simply doesn't work for classical or stuff with lots of harmonic information above the "brick cieling." I am going to keep this short and use...

Again, the horse spoke, and he said the following words of wisdom: "It is not needed and the only justification for its use is merchantile. Consider your market and for whom you are creating these titles. Please know that you may need MLP anyway. We do a lot of surround production for...

Breaking lurk mode for the following message direct from the horse: "1. Surroundedby Entertainment's titles do not include ANY Lossy schemes. Our discs are not backward compatible with DVD-V. 2. We do not copy protect our titles in any way. never have, never will. 3. The Guarneri title...

Thanks, Jeff. I'll probably be in lurk mode for a few weeks as I digest all the information and read the books I've just ordered. From my "other life," I know I need to define my target audience and define their tastes as well as their equipment. That will tell me what needs to be done...

Crikey, so much to experience and learn... The AIX site looks awesome. Which one to buy? I'm burning up my "budget" buying books and other peoples products. Dang. I'll decide tomorrow. Lance: What part of the republic are you in? I live in the DFW (Flower Mound) area. Dave

Jeez, we're cross posting here... It's an interesting thing. I am a follower of the philosphy of Paul Klipsch, having met the man and been converted as a teenager. Of course, that means a center channel, but only L+R. In planning for release recordings, I am concerned about the nature of...

Lance: Fascinating stuff, especially the audiophile audition site. Got to purchase a few of those and check them out. I am especially amazed that some of the old 70's quad masters are being reissued. Talk about mining! I recently purchased a year's worth of 1970 High Fidelity magazines...

Tried to purchase, but the link to the vendor said "This title no longer available." I wonder how long I will last... Dave

Kewl. I took a look, and my first impression was why would one do 5.1 surround for a string quartet? Looking at that release, it is not apparent just how many channels are involved, but the contents are pretty much in line with what I want to do. Think I will order a copy and check it out...

Forget it. I just ordered both of them. Dave

Now the books are a great idea. Haven't checked the prices yet. If they are pricey, which is the better choice? Dave

>Stereo PCM (up to 24bit/96k) I am assuming this must be stereo only, as it is my assumption that the heads only provide a two channel feed to the decoder. I.E., the 5.1 or whatever is extracted from NMT two data streams. Is this close enough to correct? >I know of nothing that is stopping...

Thanks, Lance. I may give the email a try. Generally, I feel like I am leaning towards issueing as DVD-A only as a start. After all, it is audiophiles I am aiming at...if you define a target, doesn't seem to make much sense to fire in other directions. Further, as I must learn the...

>Without MLP, you are going to chew up your big budget in a big hurry. LOL. This is coming out of grocery money! >Further, you've made no provision for a 2-track or DD track compatible with DVD-V players which is technically speaking in violation of DVD-A specifications. I had no idea...

Crikey, wound up posting this over at AVS. It was intended for here... Mr. Kotches and all: Let me just spill the plan here, and see what I need to do. Through a bit of extraordinary luck, and a dab of "what the heck, just ask," I've been given permission to record a live performance of...

Thanks, Jeff. I am finding many answers... Best regards, Dave

>I am not certain if DiscWelder handles DVD-Video authoring too. Aye, there's the rub. If I understand it correctly so far, DVD-Video players MUST have some sort of video or they just say "No" to audio. 2000.00 more bucks just to through in a few slides for compatibility. Sheesh. Dave

Thanks. Again, the picture gets a little more clear. The two authoring specs you mentioned, 1 and 1.1. I know nothing about this. 1. Is one or the other preferable from a cost or compatibility standpoint? 2. At the moment, I am surveying production and encoding packages. I've looked at...

I am going to be posting a number of questions regarding DVD-A specifications, and may elect to send some of you test discs in the future. I may be issuing a DVD-A audiophile recording, my first, and need expert help. I am a mom and pop operation, so am blocked by funds from the kind of...
