It will be interesting to know how it fares over time Rob. Your intended usage combining stationary change and mobile change advantages isn't usually mentioned, but it seems to me a very sensible approach and unique to the DualDrive. .

This is absolutely not the case, vinyl alone is insufficient and when the system and its environmental setting isn't suited the results are no better for me. It's only when the whole system is "right" that the contribution due to vinyl can be heard as an improvement. Getting the system right...

You can, SRAM DualDrive, combining a hub gear to perform the triple chainring function with either 8, 9 or 10 sprocket cassette. Link .

The sad thing is that the motivation for the initial formation of the European project was the avoidance of future war. That dictated the inclusion of a batch of countries that had fundamental incompatibilities. If we could start again I would like to see a set of trading and ultimately...

Agreed, digital does give more accurate reproduction of what was wrong in the first place. What it doesn't give is recording. The whole point of recording is to reproduce as accurately as possible an original. Unfortunately what happens at the outset of the process cannot make that possible...

I did address that in my latest post, but you won't like that I dismissed the contention. I also occasionally use headphones, though once again they can never reproduce an accurate representation of an original acoustic. In my case it's Beyerdynamics DT 1990 .

In my view there's no "should" about it, it's the sonic end result that counts, not a technical purist perfection that accurately reproduces our recording method inadequacies. If you are satisfied with listening to that technically more accurate sound, fine, I and many others are not. We...

Only in part, microphones cannot reproduce the spatial field of what ears hear, the latter through the shape of the external ear setting the spatial positions of instruments. Microphones are very crude in comparison. Accuracy such as digital produces copies the inherent problems with less than...

Valves favour the second harmonic and the following even harmonic bias of that smoother sound. That was what was behind the huge popularity of Marshall amps in the pop world for so many years. Digital bias when it exists tends to odd harmonics and the comparative harshness. Both wrong, but...

Very true, and part of what I meant when mentioning the defects of our recording processes. There's a lot more to it though, multi-miking and multitrack recording are riddled with introduced errors that prevent a good simulation of a live music experience. When discussing these matters a very...

That's no part of it for me, I hate that part and the potential for snap, crackle and pop. It would be wonderful if CD only removed most of the imperfections, but unfortunately its very precision portrays the many failings of our recording methods. As Soundwave commented above, even a high...

I'd guessed that! :D .

I fully agree, the authorities have only assumed his motivation was terrorism. He had a very long criminal record, and those who have been extensively exposed as convicted defendants to the legal system with all its faults often become deeply embittered. From time to time one of them lashes...

Where's the doorbell? .

Done it all, using BC1 monitors which I prefer for my listening, but have also tried very expensive active monitors. Even gone as far as a Meridian digital processor to remove all the flags and extraneous data from the CD before D to A conversion to ensure the converter had the cleanest...

Your idea of true facts appears to be fantasy, I have no vested interests in any way related to this forum or the subject of e-bikes. .

I can't answer for those who listen to pop music, but I can for my classical listening. No matter how expensive the equipment, what I hear from CDs bears little resemblance to what I hear live in concert halls of all sizes from orchestral, ensemble and solo performances. Vinyl reproduction is...

50 plus = 6 ? :confused: .

This hasn't been a problem for us while in the single market. Despite a large increase in our population over many years, we've not only kept our own employed but also migrant labour. .

But with a 125, you'll be able to carry a really heavy unbustable lock & chain to keep it secure. .
