| How I tamed digital glare. Just to clarify, by the time the digital data arrives at the DAC itâs too late. The data has already been corrupted. Reed and Solomon were just two older gentlemen they told to do the best they could with errors and their error codes do pretty wel... | |
| How I tamed digital glare. How do you think Iâm wrong? Hereâs your big chance. | |
| SACD or not SACD? Yes, I know about Thorazine. Rosesđš are red, violets are blue, Iâm a schizophrenic and so am I. | |
| Whatâs your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? With $105,000 turntables and $16,000 cartridges that price for a tonearm seems consistent. Say, isnât that the tonearm Michael Fremer owns? If low weight and stiffness are prime tonearm attributes how about a graphene coated balsa wood tonearm? | |

| How I tamed digital glare. Buffering doesnât help with the issues I referred to because the buffered data contains the distorted data. Buffering does help with shock, to prevent gross errors (skipping) but doesnât stop more subtle degradation of the sound. Playing a CD with... | |

| About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets) Would they even fit in the room?! đŠ | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Thatâs a Strawman argument that human hearing differences are greater than differences in specifications. First and foremost is humans can often agree on what differences between components or cables or speakers are, so their hearing must be fairl... | |
| Whatâs really hurting the audio hobby? Are you suffering from snarkolepsy? You know, youâre sleepwalking but still snarky? đł | |
| About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets) I still like my idea of pressing a bunch of 9â Statue of Liberty đ˝ đ˝ đ˝ souvenirs into duty as cable suspenders. | |
| How I tamed digital glare. You may think youâve tamed distortion and noise in digital playback but you havenât. Everything is relative. Until youâve stopped the CD from vibrating and fluttering and have put the kibosh on stray laser light getting into the photodetector youâ... |
