I have a pair of HD 595s I use for watching TV at night and I am running them out a a Mackie mini mixer (jerry rigged setup) and they crank out plenty of bass on explosions, etc. that I had to turn the bass down on the mixer a bit. So...

Scuttle pretty well nailed it. 24bit is used in recording to give you as much headroom as possible. With 16bit you really have to record right in the sweet spot to get maximum resolution, but with 24bit you can be a little more...

Hello, I am seeking information on dealers or other sources to sell a collection of records (~200). They are all in good-mint condition. A client of mine is a retired record producer and has asked me to help him sell some of his...
