It's that time again. August 4th is Louis Armstrong's real birthday (July 4th was once believed to be his birthday but now August 4th is the accepted date) and WKCR-FM 89.9 FM in NYC is featuring Pops' music for 24 hours on 8/4.

But don't worry if you're not in NYC because you can listen to the broadcast on the web at:

WKCR-FM

It's available as either a Real Audio or an MP3 Stream, take your pick.

So listen and enjoy the great Louie on his birthday!!

Hi, im a new member in this forum and i wonder if there are any comments, reviews about these speakers?

When creating test tones using software like NCH Tone Generator what variable amplitude should they be set to. I noticed that the sine wave test tones on the Bink's audio test tones are described such as...

11 16 -1dB 30s
12 20 -1dB 30s
13 25 -1dB 30s
14 31.5 -1dB 30s

What is the purpose of setting a variable amplitude for each tone recorded?

Hi all,

I'm new to the postings and had a question - has anyone out there bought/reviewed the new Simaudio I-5.3, Simaudio I-7, or the Marantz PM-11S1? I'm looking for a solid state integrated amp in that price range, and have heard rumors that these models are excellent. However, I haven't been able to find much out there in terms of articles or owner feedback.

If you have familiarity with these products, I'd appreciate any opinions & experiences.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Hello all,
I've been wondering how feasible it would be to use my cheap Pioneer DVD player as a transport. Of course, it has the digital out but does that digital out include the hi-rez formats also? And are there affordable DACs that handle SACD and DVD-Audio as well as "redbook" CDs?
These may be stupid questions but I'm new to hi-rez digital formats.
BTW, The player sounds pretty good with the hi-rez stuff but I find that it makes a bad CD player. Sounds thin on 16/44 PCM. Even if I hook a DAC up to it for 16/44 PCM I would be happy.

What is the best media software for burning audiophile quality CD's or DVD's
