| the meaning of the word "better" A component, such as an amplifier, can measure "better" than another, in its ability to accurately pass a square wave or some other known input signal. But that's really meaningless in terms of the audio experience, IMO. It doesn't matter if a com... | |
| The Emperor DAC has no Clothes From my years as a professional musician, I learned to never assume someone else cannot hear something just because I couldn't. That's like assuming someone can't read fine print because I can't. If you cannot hear a difference it would be silly t... | |
| Arcam DV-27 vs Denon 3910 Because you prefer the Arcam's sound over the Denon. I'm not being sarcastic about it either. I have always found that a CD on a better player sounded better to my ears than an SACD on a lesser one. That's why I eventually gave up on chasing SACD ... | |
| DVD Player with Resume Where Stopped Feature My cheap Oppo does this - even if I remove the DVD and put it in months later. Amazing. | |
| Music Hall 5.1 owners? Getting more relatively cheaply is not something you're going to get with analog. Really - the 5.1 is a good table. I think the problem is elsewhere. What phono preamp are you using? The problem is, as I'm sure you know, the arm on the 5.1 really ... | |
| Music Hall 5.1 owners? The Herbies mat was a surprising improvement. Otherwise I think the Goldring that comes with it is a very good match. I had a 5.1 and I thought it was excellent, even in comparison to a 10K CD player, so if it doesn't sound good to you, something'... | |
| Bricasti M1 - where is the music So you compared the $13K PD with the $8K Bricasti and preferred the more expensive component. Why should that surprise anyone? I thought that was the way things were supposed to work. I know people are fond of saying that spending more doesn't alw... | |
| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave Interesting choices. Many see some of these people as part of the allegedly corrupt reviewing system. I personally do not believe the bulk of what people say about reviewers and, as I said above, I think reading reviews can be helpful in looking f... | |
| Marantz SA8004 is fundamentally musical When audiophiles finally grow up, which is rare, they realize that the true measure of a component is whether they want to listen to a whole CD or record, or get up and screw around with the system. When you want to sit and listen, you know you ha... | |
| which $800 used phono to buy????? I think the Linn Linto is fabulous at its used price of about $800. I was truly shocked at how much of a difference upgrading the phono stage made. True, it has no loading options, which will no doubt trouble many people, but it's still worthy of ... | |
| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave Could you name a few? | |
| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave I think a review can be a good starting point. When several reviewers think very highly of a product, it may be something worth looking into for yourself. I only wrote my comment that nobody listens to reviews due to the endless diatribes about ho... | |
| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave I was wrong. I should have written that nobody claims to listen to reviews. That's the mark of a true audiophile. | |
| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave I thought nobody listened to reviews. | |
| How long it takes to break in Running Spring Haley Wow - I thought Audiofeil was kidding. |
