| Room correction in high-end system??? Rcprince, regarding the balance of the system, my understanding is that you would correct for desired frequency response on the system as a whole, as it is. So you wouldn't need or want to change cables necessarily. Though I suppose how and why we... | |
| Room correction in high-end system??? SACD is also an issue here. You would have to either bypass the DSP or do A-D on the SACD, which I think would reduce its advantages over 16/44. | |
| Room correction in high-end system??? I'm wrestling with the same dilemma, though my system is more modest than yours, metaphysics. You have stated the issues very well: what happens to my analog, is the new DAC as good as the old, and I love my preamp. Dan | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... Very good points. When I see live music, it is usually dynamics that I am most aware of as the thing that is missing from our home audio systems. I mean, it's not even close! I can understand the resurgence of interest in horn-based loudspeakers | |
| The end of an affair? Great post. Try the Placette--30 days, no commitment required. Her knobs leave something to be desired, but she'll never lie to you. | |
| Song with only "Wa" "Wa" for lyric? Call the restaurant and ask them. | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... For me I think it's TONE that is true to life, so that instruments and voices sound so real you are fooled, if only for a moment. If I have that, I can live without dynamics, imaging, soundstage, bass extension, etc., etc., at least for a while. O... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show It seemed that an inordinate number of attendees at this show were "in the industry" somehow. I sometimes got the impression that 1 out 3 attendees were members of the audiophile press. Jeez, who's left to be a customer? Anyway, the insiders buzz ... | |
| Trelja in New York Prfont, I saw the Dodson in there Sunday morning if I recall correctly. Could have been gone or not in use that afternoon. The Sony-Dodson combination is what I use personally so I noticed it. | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? As I understand things, if you see a lot of Brand X CD players in use in rooms, it may be because Brand X offered to supply these players, not because all of the exhbitors personally prefer Brand X. Thus certain lines tend to look "hot" for one sh... | |
| Trelja in New York The EAR/Silverline room had a Dodson DAC in their system. Unless they weren't using it, you were hearing the Sony as transport-only for redbook CDs. | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show I also liked the Dali speakers, but they were part of a system that was demonstrating the TacT room correcction system and TacT's "digital" amplifier, so it's not apples and apples. | |
| Power Cord Challenge My experience has always been that rapid switching obscures differences and should be avoided. For example, I can switch rapidly back and forth between the CD playback of my Sony 777 and the same playback using a Dodson outboard DAC. Hard to hear ... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show The Egglestonworks Savoys are $30,000 a pair, I believe. they have a bigger model (the Ivy) which is closer to $100k. There were Verity Parsifals at the show? | |
| Audio Tekne No, but eager to hear what you think. They're very cool looking, aren't they? |
