| I Just Know It's BS ... But I Have't Tried It Yet Our ears - to my mind - are the worst of "test instruments" to judge a given system, but it is the only one we have. It takes a long learning curve to come to trust what you hear.To get there, you must have developed at least some sense for your i... | |
| What is Musicality? Sabai, I stumbled unto this thread only now unfortunately, being intreaged about your use of magnets on a new thread of yours.To my mind a system is felt to be musical, if it allows a listener to be deeply touched by what he hears. A system, which... | |

| Mixing Atma MA1s with solid state. To really golden ears I think, SS will change the openness and delicacy of the Atma sound. I suggest you ask Ralph Karsten at Atma directly what he thinks of your suggestion.He is a great guy and very helpful. Please let us know what you have foun... | |
| Are music servers the future? Tbg, I espressively meant Steve Nugent's gear, which of course does not upsample as your Legacy does, because it made me hear Red Book in a completely new way. | |
| Are music servers the future? Well spoken Tbg! Besides, Empirical Audio, MSB and Request Audio, just to mention those who I have heard extensively, can most certainly show up sonic differences between the older and newer formats if your system is sufficiently up to it. Some of... | |
