aardvark baguette Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I finally hooked up the Bel Canto to my computer via optical, instead of the usual USB. (Behold the awesome power of procrastination ). Not sure if its any better. I put on a Fleet Foxes song and heard some distortion I never noticed before, but too much for me to have simply overlooked it. Maybe the Bel Canto Dac3 has a crappy optical implementation, or maybe my 680i mobo does. I don't hear anything objectionable w/ the Living Stereo classical I've been ripping today though. I get the feeling I've lost some texture in the violins, but maybe its just not as 'warm' as usual w/ my HD650s. Then again, its picking up amazing texture from what I think is an oboe. Could I really have been that deaf w/ the USB setup I've had for so long Also the Oppo Digital redbook has sounded fine to the Bel Canto via optical. I'll need to do more listening this week, I guess. Though I may move my 'big rig' back up to my room to use w/ my new computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 My folks came down today and my dad helped installed new flooring and finished the wainscoting, chair rail & molding in my bathroom. I still need to do a little clean up on the drywall, prime the wood, caulk stuff around the shower and then paint, but it's getting closer to being done. My dad kicks ass.

gauche Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 9:00AM made the espresso, had breakfast--buttermilk/blueberry-granola pancakes, chicken/lemon sausage, bacon. 11:30 On the m-cycle to Berkeley, to the Berkeley Bowl for the weeks groceries (the white peaches, white nectarines, blueberries are fantastic this time of the year). Headed up to the camera shop for supplies. Got home at 4:00, just in time to see the A's get their asses handed to them by the Bossox, 2-12, fuuuuuck! Cold soba for lunch, it's a warm one today, mid 80's. Now I'm heading into the darkroom to do some printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contrastique Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Pfff I'm just sitting here being wasted and all..We took my parents out for dinner last night and they ended up spending the night at our place.

n_maher Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I finished a Gainclone to replace (temporarily at least) the Beta22 that I sent out last week. Soldering without tunes = fail. Now, how long it'll take me to cure the ground loop hum in the GC who knows, but for now it's functional enough to get the job done in the basement where ambient noise levels will cover my mistakes nicely.

lostonetr Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 drove the car to a local japanese market, found out their selection of goods had 0 of what I needed. During the drive noticed, the sound proofing of the car has possibly gotten considerably worse, as a result of a recent part swap on the door =/. This was a day packed of fail.
