The character of analog and digital
@tomic601 , @david_ten , @audphile1  in case and if 'all things should be equal' (from reproduction side of things, if that is possible at all) than everything comes down to the mastering. Judging by what people who are actually doing the masterin... 
The character of analog and digital
@rvpiano It is very pointless to 'discuss' own preferncies (not directed to you) if one is not familiar with process. Seems nobody here reads the words of people who are actually responsable for the actual sound of some recording or format, like S...

On more serious side, another fine album, not yet released on cd, as far as I know. Argo label as well.

Despite the Frogman's 'rule' I would say that one should always 'dig little deeper'.Argo label, aldo short lived (one decade) had some fine albums. Here is one from a guy who probably (judging by his obscurity) also falls under mentioned rule. The...

New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help
@overthemoon  It certainly can 'play', but Imho, for such music ('rock' or similar) there are 'better' solutions.  I believe that Franco Serblin's first intention when he started his company was making speakers that are in fact 'musical instrumen... 
New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help
I have had Grand Piano, Cremona auditor, Auditor M, Guarneri H and now Franco Serblin’s Lignea. Once I even bought their smallest,Toy speaker, just for fun, while I was waiting for some other bigger speaker. Also, on many occasions listened the ot...

Power cable for Bryston
I used to have that player, back in 2009. or so. I have tried few power cords on it and this is what I can say for certain. Nordost, not in a dream. I have tried Valhalla power cord and it was the most clinical sound I can remeber until this day. ... 
Power cords or power conditioner
