| SACD : why ? Chances for SACD are slowly getting better. Emi and Virgin records have now jumped on the bandwagon with the promise to produce a lot of their popular stuff in this medium and sales of SACD players seem to be rising in Europe. However Badwisdom sh... | |
| The infamous Tubegroover, as far as the very deep low end is concerend, I could not agree more with you. But as far as the other parameters are concerend, which are generally held in high esteem in our circles, if find Albert's limits right on the money, even ... | |
| Redbooks: as good on Sony SACD as on Cary 303? Hi Pendragn, I suggest you look into the thread "SACD why" here on Audiogon and also put SACD into its search engine for further threads about this topic. I'm sure it will help you along with that very tricky question. | |
| dbx Noise Reduction Units Hi, I tried the Type II ages ago and soon threw them out. They did reduce noise but together with it much of the inner life of a recording. Subtle dynamic nuances and changes were just blotted out. What was worse, they seemed to add something to t... | |
| SACD : why ? Badwisdom, in my opinion the "test" arrangement you mentioned, proves - as you rightly point out - nothing but the gullibilty of those unfortunate participants, but it is useless as a tool to differentiate between the two formats in question. As f... | |
| SACD : why ? Was the SACD unit properly broken in ? It needs at least 300 to 400 hours to bring out its best. I own a top notch CD/upsampler frontside and comparing it to a well broken in Sony 777, my findings were not anything close to being as decisive as yo... | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? Sean has said it all. I have nothing to add to that, except that getting new belts can sometimes be quite a bit of a drag. Incidentally, beltdriven CD players, if TAS is right, seem to have the same sonic advantages over direct coupled ones, as tu... | |
| Floor speakers on tile floors? We've experimented quite a lot here in Zurich with various speakers placed on various materials with or without cones. One experiment we tried, was to place the speakers on cones, with small, one square inch tiles of very hard ceramic between the ... | |

| Nordost SPM vs XLO signature Just one glitch-apologies-I was talking about the Nordost Quatrofril ic , not of the SPM. | |
| Nordost SPM vs XLO signature Strange, that none of the great experts answered your query so far...so to break the silence here goes for interconnects:I find both cables very neutral. Both present an excellent soundstage and a very good layering. Dynamics come through unimpede... | |
| Recommend me a good psychologist Now, now Pef, how can you!? LOL. But those you refer to are ingrained audiophiles, NOT musiclovers. I suppose if you love music per se, its easier to forget about your system and Psychicanimal, to me you are right on the dot, as the Brits say. I a... | |
| Recommend me a good psychologist Pancho, the answer to your problem, be it real or put on, is quite simple, but perhaps not so simple to achieve: If you can enjoy music on your car radio for example and get drawn into it, but cannot with your system, generally you've lost your in... |
