Audio Strobe Review question for MF

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!

New DIY Project posted

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!

Bit-transparency

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?

Please edumacate me

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?

The music industry is responding to our recent enthusiasm for vinyl, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/business/la-et-vinyl18-2008au… the Los Angeles Times</a>. Original Recordings Group, a small vinyl-only label, needed only 24 hours to sell 4000 copies of TV on the Radio's excellent <i>Return To Cookie Mountain</i>. The label is on the way to grossing their first million dollars, and expects to double its vinyl output in 2009. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. has increased their vinyl production from 2000 copies per title to up to 15,000 copies. Such increases, of course, have a dramatic impact on pressing plants. Record Technology Inc's average pressing per title has doubled to 3000 units over the last few years.
