| I have gone insane, need help Would you like to sell the Thorens? I'm interested.Chris | |
| I have gone insane, need help I would keep the Thorens TD 124. That thing is ugly looking, but seems to sound marvelous (with the right plinth + calibration).Chris | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Shadorne: you are right, but even without the current knowledge about jitter those manufacturers managed to produce very musical sounding machines, that are still very good compared to today's best efforts. You should admit that :)Chris | |
| Resistive vs capacitive loading Thank you very much for your reply (Al + Raul).Chris | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? I would go further by saying that digital sound reproduction has not been evolving since 1992. In that particular year four companies introduced their reference digital units: Wadia with the 7/9, Krell with the MD-10 transport and Reference 64 DAC... | |
| What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII Recently I read that for MC cartridges 47 kohms is also an option for loading. What is the purpose for such a high impedance loading?Chris | |
| Antiskating .... The last analog secret So, the final conclusion is: set the AS as low as possible? Could you give an example? I have the SPU 85 Anniversary at 3.7 gr tracking force in a Fidelity Research FR-66S, the AS should be half of that or less?Chris | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Very interesting conclusion Tvad. I'm also a proponent of a state-of-the-art analog section. The analog section could be the most determining factor as far as sound quality concerned. One can have a 1995 digital technology with very good analog se... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Thanks for the recommendation Roy. Are you also familiar with Herbie Tenderfeet?Wavetrader: I have a decent transport, which is the MBL 1621. I suppose Accustic Arts knows about the coupling caps thing. Power cord is from DCCA Audio. So I'm afraid... | |
| Antiskating .... The last analog secret Could you send a picture of the cartridge (with the "off axis" cantilever) Renaat?Chris | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Steve, are you a proponent of OPamps in the analog section of a DAC?Chris | |
| The necessity of a plinth Hi Raul, I didn't know that. I thought a custom made plinth is a necessity with the SP-10 to sound great. Stock SP-10 is very good, but SP-10 + custom plinth = great. But now you are saying a bit the contrary and it's an eye opener for me. Do you ... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound The Shun Mook Diamond Resonators don't work with the AA Tube DAC! --> the sound became somewhat hard in the upper midrange, like as if there is some ringing/resonance. Which feet should I use now? Graphite blocks?Chris | |
| Input buffer on dig.amps I have an Accustic Arts Tube Reference DAC with an output impedance of 33 ohms. The unit has a bit rough/harsh upper midrange. Would the Burson help to ameliorate this?Chris | |
| OPamps still inferior to discrete circuits? Is the Burr Brown OPA627 better than the Burson discrete OPamp?Chris |
