Greetings Stephen, edit options seem fine at time of making the actual posting, but after they are done the edit option goes away after a while (no idea how long). I would have thought they should remain 'edit-able' until someone has made a direct reply to 'your' posting, but maybe that is just me being silly (?) I did notice this on at least one posting after around maybe three or four days.

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to the world of "stereophilia", but I am working on a project and you seem like the folks to ask for advice.

I recently inherited my grandparents' old hi-fi console. It is a beautiful piece of furniture with all the original finish and electronics intact. I had the idea that I would like to "remodel" the console to include a high-end-ish stereo but still look vintage on the outside. I am somewhat handy and can probably pull off the woodworking that needs to be done to accomodate the updated system.

Hi folks - I am new to this whole hifi audiophile world - and what an interesting world it is !

Heres the guts of it - I finally cleared off my old crappy bits of system to the back shed and forked out on some new gear. After much reading and sussing out a couple of shops I went with the following : NAD 325BEE amp, Monitor Audio BR2 speakers, Cambridge Audio 640P phono pre amp for my old technics turntable and am soon to replace my old sony carosel CD player with a 525BEE NAD to match the amp.

are there an advantage in having mono Blocks amps vs. Having stereo amps or Receivers..... I have a couple of Carver Mono Blocks that I have had for 17 years and they work just fine. I was thinking about upgrading to the Krell mono Blocks. are the Krells worth it? ;)

Thanks I'm a newbie here.

I've spent most of today evaluating some new software I have, particularly algorithms for sample rate conversion and dithering.

Both processes come into play when creating a CD master. Since I record in high resolution at 24 bit and 96k sampling (with some current experimentation at 192k as well), in order to create a CD master, sampling rate must be brought down to the CD standard 44.1 kHz and word length must be brought down to the CD standard 16 bits.

hello, im new here so i hope i dont have a stupid question. ok so my wife wants a new "little stereo", her mom has that bose wave system, and so does my mom and she like that system a lot, me well it sounds ok, i used to have a full surround set of Paradigm bookshelves with a denon reciever. so as i said i the bose sounds ok, but i have always heard that BOSE stands for Buy Other Stereo Equipment lol. everyone i see on all the forums say bose is craptackuar! do i buy it if she likes it or is there another system like it for me to get thats better than bose paper speakers?
