| Should I sell my Oppo 205? I have a cheaper Oppo for Blue Ray and have heard the more expensive units many times. Thought they worked fine as transports and thought that the DAC left much to be desired. Of course now I am almost 100% analog unless I need long play and backg... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Rather than hearing it from me simply google double blind listening or perhaps ABX. Try to put yourself in the position of the person being tested. So indulge me and tell me what exactly you would measure with the null tester and how this data cou... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. bobinwi,You can call it science or psychoacoustics the truth is that there is very little in terms of scientific proof to support either side. The problems with blind tests are well known as are the manufacturers that make wild claims. Listen, dec... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Just as I thought. Remember that I am presenting my points as opinions and possibilities not as scientific facts established through some sort of methodology. I never placed myself in a position of authority just as an experienced listener with va... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Doug,Just a few things and then I think we have discussed this enoughIf you can honestly say you use digital because you think it sounds better this will never been discussed again. But be honest enough to list any reasons other than sonics that y... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Russ is correct. Neither he, nor Doug can speak to each individual experience. Not hearing a difference isnt proof of anything. If Doug cant hear a difference I wouldnt expect him to buy into the whole burn in thing. However you cant blame people ... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. No the abx is not a truth teller. Check out all of the possible problems most if not all of them arise from the psychological phenomena of being tested. You either allow for any number of subconscious psychological influences on both sides or you ... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. I respect Doug for writing the article but this was no act or bravery, perhaps a small act of bravado but I dont doubt he is trying to help so we should only admonish for his hubris and incomplete methodology. I mean truly it takes hubris to belie... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. I missed the post about the stinky cables. I cant imagine having to go through something so terrible. Did you experience any long term psychological problems? | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Well I think it humorous that doug thinks he has more to offer in terms of opinion than the average hobbyist. Is believing in component change really a big deal and I would challenge doug to prove that this belief or many others he finds distastef... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Hmmm. I cant really respond as I have no idea what you just wrote actually means. | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. I agree with antigrunge and my experiences with most components has been that use makes a serious difference in sound. I dont even care why this might be. However, I read most of the article and I dont think that anything schroeder said was object... | |
| Rebuilding Power Amplifier(s) Depending upon the parts you should consider replacing the parts in both amps.Pay close attention to the last paragraph of gs's post! In fact the whole post offers some really good advice. | |
| Ideas for amp to run woofers on a bi-amp system. Well we dont carry solid state amps only tube and this is just meant as a temporary fix until we expand out product line. As a result I would like to keep the cost at below 3 to 4K.My speakers are Ascendo Model Ms which are tri-ampable. Im just us... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming I agree but what is the cost of a very good TT/arm and what are the brands that you would consider good? I have $ 15K in my TT and arm and I think I am at a very high, but not extravagant, level. |
