Although there is a related thread on this topic over in the General Rants 'n Raves section of the forum that thread does not address several of the issues that I have with this review. That other thread

They got it half right- have yet to see the story, 'tho.

My question whenever I read about these strobes is: If it's off (your TT speed), then what? I don't know of any TTs that allow you to adjust the speed, and more importantly, mine doesn't either, heheh. Seriously though-is there anything to do short of those very expensive speed controllers some TT companies sell?

Very curious. Thanks!

Hi all- Yeah, it be nice to have a dedicated DIY section, but this will do for now. I just posted a photo of my latest DIY project- a TT isolation plinth, integrated into a new main shelf of my custom stereo cabinet. Based on a sort fine woodworking approach to a lot of the roller block/plinth designs you might see out there. Details at the photo gallery but suffice to say it did a lot more than I had even hoped for sonically!

Does anyone here know who owns www.hometheatertalk.net? They stole the Room Setup video from my company's web site, stripped out our name and copyright info, inserted a link to their own web site, and posted it at Yahoo Videos and Spike.com and possibly other sites.

Stereophile is a very good read but I really miss reviews of Classic American hifi brands. Be a bit more proud on your heritage !!

I am still not clear on the ability of a Windows Media Player based music server to pass digital audio data without affecting the data in any way. Based on some of the posts to this forum I have disabled all equalizers, etc. on both WMP and the Realtek Audio Manager on my PC. But, WMP is set to use 24 bit audio. Under the Realtek Audio Manager S/PDIF output sampling rate is set to 96kHz and output source is set to digital. Can Windows still affect the digital data?

In the September issue, Fred Kaplan reviews the Krell Evolution 505 CD player.

Can someone explain to me in layman's terms how it is that a CD player can operate in a "current domain" vs a "voltage domain"?

My understanding that as per Ohm's law, Current is the function of Voltage divided by resistance. So, what's within the chain of the components that provides sufficient resistance as to make the signal flowing from one component to another a function of the "current" rather than typical voltage?
