| The illusion of soundstage. Depth was falsely created by the Poms (English) speaker manufactures back in the days (70’s-80’s) with their speakers, by a dip in the midrange by 3db, this gave a greater illusion of depth. As to width, that’s another art.Cheers George | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising I also say +1 for these cheap to get CD bundles, but the big downside is if we/us are getting them this way instead of purchasing new ones because we are content to listen to the 100 that we just got for peanuts, it will speed up and spell the end... | |

| What glue for dust cap repair? Looks and handles just like the white glue you get with some refoam kits.It is the same without the high "audio" price tag. Along with many others. They have to be water soluble so they don't eat/melt the foam surrounds https://www.google.com.au/s... | |
| What glue for dust cap repair? http://www.glwholesalers.com.au/selleys-aquadhere-interior-250ml That’s what most builders I know use, pva so it’s safe and it’s slightly flexible.Oh, and it's thick white to start with and dries clear.Cheers George | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Hi ejr, are you making this sacd/dsd v pcm/cd comparison judgment using the same dac?Cheers George"When a PCM (cd) file is played on a DSD (sacd) or Bit Stream converter, the DAC chip has to convert the PCM to DSD in real time. This is one of the ... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. +1 Wolf, pure voodoo. And as Ralph say, it's "expectation bias", and that's all anyone gets for $100, except the seller, he's laughing all the way to the bank. Cheers George | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising multiple factors determine the overall sound quality of DACsYes you are also correct there Charles, and in the conversion of Redbook (PCM) there is one glaring factor, published by MoJo sound and recognized by many in the know, that is:"When a PCM... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising I/V stages, too right Charles, just as I said in my first posthttps://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1329734 But I/V stages are only used on current output dacs, as voltage output dacs don’t use them, I leave you now to ponder and do some homework whic... | |

| Redbook Keeps Surprising Get off your high horse and take a breathJust agreeing with the OP, and letting those know the very best way to get the best from Redbook, which is what it’s all about as many of us have a vast collection of CD's | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising steakster I have had a DSD capable Bricasti here, and yes it was very good when it did DSD, but it was shown up by an old Cary 303/200 24/96 R2R multibit doing PCM DVD-A (an extension of Redbook) which it had to down sample from 24/192 to 24/96 an... | |

| Redbook Keeps Surprising For any one else to appreciate the best what Redbook can offer as the OP suggests, you need to hear it with it’s best conversion process, not with DSD (Delta Sigma) crap conversion, otherwise they might think the OP is full of it.It like someone s... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising The Aurender helps get the most out of Redbook.It's a Delta Sigma based converter, so it can't. Only true Multibit converters can get "bit perfect" conversion from PCM. Read the above link.Cheers George |
