| Processor DACs IMO, it is possible for a processor to compete with, or even best, a $1K dac. But it gets expensive. Very. I use a Meridian G68 which, in its stock form, competes fairly well with SOME of the $1k dacs I've heard. But it's current MSRP is around $1... | |
| Ouroboros, thy name is me. Nonoise - Glad to hear it was more crowded on Saturday. Being an LA local (but not native), I was very excited when we finally got our own bona fide audio show.I didn't get a chance to spend time with Todd at MA Recordings, but I've bought several... | |
| Ouroboros, thy name is me. Hi Nonoise - I went to The Show at Newport Beach too. I didn't hear the the MSB room with YG speakers, but I heard two impressive demo's with YG's at the last RMAF. That's a reversal from my previous experiences with YG's, which were lackluster.I ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.-Lewis Carroll | |
| Fuses that matter. I can only speak for myself. In my case, in a thread like this, what drives me is to help get all the facts out on the table so people can make their own educated decisions.Well said, Mapman. I would add that, IMO, some progress has been made to t... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-31-12: KijankiWe don't even know if 3A Hi-Fi fuse is not really 3.5 or 4A standard fuse since AFAIK there is no test or approval of any agency.Furutech fuses have the following approvals: PSE, CE, ULIsoclean fuses have the following approvals: ... | |
| Fuses that matter. One Man says, "I heard it."A Second Man says, "You heard what you wanted to hear." The First Man says, "You didn't hear what you didn't want to hear."A Third Man comes along. He says, "I heard it in some cases but not in others."The first two men ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Ok, Geoff. That was a good response. Neither polemical nor irrelevant. And I do value the reports of other, especially when they coincide. So you give me very little to argue with at the moment. I have confidence you will rectify that situation.05... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse in between speakers? Hi Kiwi - Very interesting thread you linked. I agree with many of the things you said. Among them, that the choice between absorption and diffusion is often the choice between imaging and soundstaging. Absorption often improves imaging at the exp... | |
| Fuses that matter. Ok, first off, that quote from Stereo Times stretches the limits of credibility. "Transparency to die for"? Really? Come on.Second, your interpretation of my last post is odd, to put it politely. I was NOT saying that the results of every fuse lis... | |
| Fuses that matter. That occurred to me, Geoff. But that ambiguity is present in EVERY listening test. In other words, when you fail to hear a difference during an A/B, there are ALWAYS three possible interpretations...1. There is no difference between A and B.2. The... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse in between speakers? I agree with the other posters that it depends on your room. I also agree that you should experiment.Personally, I've tried both absorption and diffusion between my speakers. I prefer diffusion by a considerable margin. In my case, absorption resu... | |
| Fuses that matter. Ok, this time I'm serious...In addition to the Pass amp I used for my fuse experiment, I have a Parasound Halo amp that I use for home theater. Yesterday I opened the Parasound and removed all the fuses, 6 in total. First I cleaned the endcaps wit... | |
| Fuses that matter. Come to think of it, for the past couple years, she's been giving me pills every morning at breakfast. For vitamins, they sure do make me feel funny.Time to go. The orderly says it's time for daily meditation.bc | |
| Fuses that matter. Iso - When I married my wife, who at the time was already a doctor of considerable clinical experience, I naturally assumed she would cure me of my audionervosa. In spite of several years of marital contentment, she has failed utterly in that ende... |
