| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Hi Jordan and Carl; Last night I read (twice) J. Scull's Stereophile review of Accupase's newest CD player. On the opening page, JS refers to the process Accuphase uses as oversampling, then throughout the rest of the review he refers to it as up-... | |
| Anyone compared Accuphase anything else? Hi Tbone; Stereophile's J. Scull recently reviewed (July, 2000?) the latest Accuphase CD player and compared it to dCS gear. It seems Scull preferred the Accuphase marginally, but of course not everyone agrees with Scull's judgement. My ML 37 tran... | |
| The Fourfold path...which way to go? Hi Issabre; Like Nhorton, I personally like a good tube pre-amp with a good SS amp, and the CJ PV10AL would probably do it. Bi-amping would likely be tricky (and maybe unpredictable), and adding a Music Fidelity tube buffer adds another "box" and ... | |
| Bi Wire vs Jumpers +/or-??? Vandersteen Audio strongly recommends biwiring their 2Ces and 3As ASAP-- and to use "true bi-wiring", ie use four SEPARATE wires per speaker-- and Vandersteen isn't into selling wire either. It works for me. Cheers. Craig | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Hi Kevin; Can you tell us where the article re: upsampling/oversampling you refer to will be posted or published? Thanks. Craig. | |
| Resolution Audio CD55 Hi Kevin; First of all, I have a lot of respect for you and your company's products, and you recently provided me valuable info. on the difference between digital up & over sampling (you've probably read my thread). As you are concerned about ... | |
| How do VANDERSTEEN Signature 2ce's rate? Well stated post Sd-- I agree. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Up & Over Sampling... Continued Jordan; Thanks for posting your Jeff Kalt email, it adds a lot to this thread. Cheers. Craig | |
| TUBE or SS? Issabre; have you been nipping on the cooking sherry again:)? Cheers. Craig. | |
| TUBE or SS? Tom, Tubegroover, Phill; You guys are a tough and dedicated lot, and I surely do appreciate your posts. Truth of timbre is also probably the single most important characteristic of music to me too. And I think tube amps maybe promote it moreso tha... | |
| Up & Over Sampling... Continued Trelja-- thanks for the kind words-- just after the truth. And thanks to Greysquirrel for getting Jeff Kalt's thoughts on this thorny issue-- it was an excellent contribution and really started the "hunt". And it would actually be nice to have tha... | |
| TUBE or SS? Hi Tom; and thanks for your response to my "terse" post. I too shouldn't generalize. Some of the most important aspects of say, R&B music to me are pace, rhythm, and timing, and in my experience (limited w/ tube amps), SS amps are quicker, and... | |
| How do VANDERSTEEN Signature 2ce's rate? Kacz; It's interesting how different people have different reactions to different speakers (or other audio equipment for that matter). I guess that's why there are about 100,000 speaker manufacturers. I've used the 2Ces for 7-8 years , and the 3As... | |
| Up & Over Sampling... Continued Hi Treyhoss; It seems to me that you may be trying to "unscrute the unscrutable". Each of the components you mention would probably sound different from the others, and you would just have to try it to see if it provided any improvement. And then ... | |
| Do 24 bit cdps play HDCD discs ??? I agree with the above two posts, ie the player must have an HDCD decoding chip, and this has nothing to do with 24/96 capability. Cheers. Craig. |
