Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Yep Garfish, it's all in good fun. I'm glad someone finally caught on. I find allot of the stuff on these threads "chow" for thought. And I'm glad my humor was not totally lost. Ciao, for now.

Carl, that was very polite and well put. Chow, Deborah1. 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Carl, what are you talking about? My name is Deborah, and my husbands name is Robert. We are both professional musicans who reside in NY. My husband and I share many of the same viewpoints, and sometimes we even share this audiogon accout, but I a... 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
Thanks again to all. I'm making a short list (well, not that short right now) and I'm planning to start "listening around" this weekend. Trelja, I happen to love Alon speakers. I have their model V mkIII in my main system. My den is a very strange... 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
Thanks Rosstaman. I've been thinking allot about NHT speakers too. My gut tells me that they might work well in my horrible room, because it is my understanding that NHT speakers are not wide dispersion designs. My den is VERY reflective, especial... 
What the heck is Resolution Audio
I can't resist. I just have to chime in on this one too! Carl, I think you are correct (yikes!). Upsampling is probably not ALL marketing hype; I'm sure that when implemented by a SKILLED DESIGNER, it provides sonic benefits beyond what can be ach... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Carl, I think you missed the point about the apology thing. None of us doubt your views on audio, and although we all might not agree with each other all of the time, well, that only makes things more interesting. And yes, you are very rational AN... 
Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?
Thanks to all of the above. I was already thinking of checking out the Hales speakers; I've heard allot of great things about them. And no Sedond, not "real" full range down to 20hz. A speaker like that would probably overwhelm my room. I will con... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Thanks Onhwy61, but no apolpgy necessary from Carl. His remarks were so outrageous that I just had to laugh. I guess I did get SOME retribution: it seems us "less curious" types are not as easily swayed by what in the end is MARKETING HYPE! (see m... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Carl, that was very helpful.Thank you for taking the time to offer such a clear summary. I'll get back to you all after I hear the Bel Canto DAC1 next week. 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
WOW! Lets get back to the topic(s). I too am very curious about the latest developments in DAC technologies. Carl, maybe it would help us layman if you could explain upsampling using an analogy (like when math teachers use a pie to help students v... 
Wadia 21 vs. Res Audio CD50 or CD55?
Thanks for the info about the Wadia upgrade, but it now seems like a moot point. Life circumstances (not one, but TWO, count 'em TWO children on the way soon!) dictate that I must liquidate a portion of my audio gear, as the dedicated listening ro... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
I know this thread has gotton way off base, and is now a bit out of control. I suppose I'm as much to blame for this as anyone, so I apoligize, especially if I offended any readers. I have no doubt that most of us are passionate listeners and love... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
I really don't have much to add, except to say that I too am curious about the sonic benifits (if any) of upsampling technology. I will make several observatons, however: Observation #1-A few years ago, many high end companies were crying (in writ...
