Greetings, Is there any way to take an older (60's) recording and add more dynamics? Can you reverse compression? I want to lower the quietest parts and lift the loud parts, just a little. Haha...is this possible? Thanks for your patience if this is a ridiculous question.

Firstly, I thought my question a few weeks ago, was not being responded to. I had set up for an email notification if there was any response, but I didn't receive any emails about it. I thought maybe, I had worded it confusingly, so I started another inquiry. I will go back and read what was...

Sorry, Folkcafe. I don't see how this could help.

Dave, I do have a Steinberg UR12 just sitting around, but, like the Zoom, there isn't any way of connecting a thumbdrive without incorporating a whole computer set-up. Even my Antelope Discrete 4 can't do it. I was just looking for a better DAC to use that is better than the DAC in the phone. I...

Greetings, I have a good amount of HQ audio on thumbdrives. Right now I am plugging them into my Galaxy 7 phone, then the headphone OUT into a normal receiver. On the good side, the phone provides an interface to select files to play,...on the bad side, the DAC in the phone isn't great...

No HDMI I/O. I don't want to involve my tv in this system. I just want to improve on the DAC that is in my phone, but I want a female USB port in a DAC, to be able to receive the thumb drive,then provide analogue OUTs. My current set-up: thumb drive (music source) to a short adapter (female...

Greetings, I have a lot of HD music files on thumb drives. Currently I am using my Samsung Galaxy 7 phone to send the music into my stereo receiver (which doesn't have any USB port). The receiver plays through a very good set of speakers. What I want to do is somehow bypass the medium to...

I have one exciter speaker built (more like doctored) and am absolutely thrilled with the definition, clarity, and smoothness of the sound. Sure, it needs a sub, but I have heard things in my age old music that I hadn't before. The size of the soundboard allows different frequencies to be...

Receiver: Audio Reflex AR-800. So sorry. That line: "(This is purely for spoken voice, which is why MONO.)" was supposed to have been erased. I want to play standard stereo out of the receiver and into a single speaker, keeping both channels of music. Of course, ....I see it now. Just...

I have a rare (but not in a good way) receiver. It has two sets of speaker outputs, each showing 4 contacts as: (1) red RIGHT, the (2) black COM, then (1) red LEFT.....for speaker pair ONE. I want to play a mono signal from the receiver through a single speaker. (Of course, I want...

Let me rephrase.......How long should a clap sound in a reasonably treated room? I can't seem to hear any echo but if I record the clap, ....how long should it show in a waveform? I measured mine and the whole clap sound is approx. 0.10 seconds long. I can't see any repeating peaks, ...just...

Value Village....or any other recycling or used chain of stores. I asked nicely, for them to put aside any towels they received which they thought they couldn't resell. A week later I got a call saying they had 14 boxes of towels that turned out to be cleaned and folded. Cost = zero. Twenty...

Hope this turns out to be a wonderful year for all you/us audiophiles. My ?uestions: How short should a hand-clap echo be, in a room with reasonable acoustics? Is there any sound which could be used which would yield more info on this?...a finger snap, hitting two spoons together? Measuring...

Dave. your time and thought is much appreciated.

Unprecedented generosity, sincere thanks Dave, ...but I'm on the west coast of Canada, and I couldn't accept that. I was just trying to rip the music off of a precious cassette that I probably could not replace, ..and if it self-destructs ...would be gone. Hey, even if the PC's plug wasn't...
