What I've learned from TO...so far

Post by shedshrine » Tue Jan 04, 2005 11:49 pm

Key "aha!" moments include but are not limited to:

Get informed, ie:Don't fall for gimmicky bell and whistle stuff, save up for some key quality peices for a good basic signal chain.

These peices don't have to be exorbidant in price.

Reward manufacturers who "get it" and make stuff that is good. 8)

In a digital rig, A clock is as important as converters, and will bring out the best in the converters you've got. :!:

Concise questions with a clear objective are rewarded with the most useful responses.

Some "useless" responses are funny as hell.



And hey, thank you... :)

A good recording serves the music, not the other way around.
