| Bits Are Bits, Right? mkgusLast night I copied one of my favorite CDs to a black CD-R and the difference in sound quality between the 2 discs was quite apparent. The treble was much more laid back and “tamed.” I could hear micro-details better. It’s too early to conclu... | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? uber, are you looking in the mirror? Eat more fish. | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? Did you forget to take your smart pill this morning, Uber? 😳 | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? mtdiningUnfortunately, our brains sample 10x more frequently than cds...vinyl is best.>>>>>I’m from the future. When the CD is played on a CD player not (rpt not) encumbered with all the problems CD players have had since the very b... | |
| Audiophile Bass? By the way, the bass is not only cleaner but goes much lower, has more slam and is more articulate and natural and integrated. Its like you put in a very good subwoofer without the side effects. | |
| Audiophile Bass? Excellent question. It all depends on how the files that are streamed are obtained. I do not know the sequence of events for how tracks or albums are streamed. What is their source? But I don’t hear people say, “Wow, the bass is much better stream... | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? mkgus OPYes, digital only exists as a mathematical concept. All of reality is analog (at least the reality we deal with - at the scale of Planck time and Planck lengths things may be different). A stream of “digital” data is an analog signal that ... | |
| Thank you AudiogoN and users, for civility.... Bush was a glad hander, Mr. Smiley 😃 . Everyone with any sense avoided him like the plague. I had a man on the inside, old surfer dude. 🏄🏻♂️ | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? It all comes down to a couple things: the scattered laser light gets into the photodetector as noise, the CD player is susceptible to external and internal vibration, the CD itself flutters during play so much that the laser servo system can’t kee... | |
| Audiophile Bass? Much if not all of the obsession over bass and subwoofers has to do with the problem I spoke of a couple posts ago. If you could get all the bass information off the disc, the information that is actually there undiscovered, audiophiles would not ... | |
| Higher End DACs Allow me to remind you, gentle readers, claiming to be a perfectionist is just another logical fallacy. It’s along the same lines as I’m a PhD in EE or I’ve been an audiophile for 40 years. You might as well start quoting Shakespeare and Einstein ... | |
| Audiophile Bass? I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam. One of the most surprisingly things I've found in a sea of surprising things is how much bass that is on the CD is missing in action, which I attribute entirely to the fluttering of the disc during p... | |

| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Graphene is a stiffener and a very good one, super lightweight and super-stiff, that’s what everybody wants for a transducer. Hel-loo! And that’s why graphene is very effective in tennis racquets (Djokovic’s racquet of choice for the last six year... | |
| Which is the most important part of a stereo system? Just in case nobody mentioned it already which they probably didn’t - the fuse, be it ever so humble. Another one nobody probably mentioned is electrical connections of all non-audio outlets. And one more nobody mentioned - how many CDs are in th... |
