| The best speaker you ever heard? Ridgestreet Audio Designs Sason LTD...perfectly coherent from ~high 30 Hz to the highest treble, deepest, most layered soundstage I've ever heard, image and tonal density beyond reproach, amazingly natural portrayal of detail...an extraordinarly e... | |
| Ridge Street Audio Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker Thought I’d add my comments here, rather than write a new review. This past Saturday, Darrin (thread initiator, Rhythmace4218) and I drove to Laporte, IN to hear The Ridgestreet Audio Sason LTD. Darrin and I have been good friends for the last 9 y... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 Canucks, I cannot comment on the differences among the UX-3, UX-1, or DV-60, but I can comment on the sound and video of the UX-3. I bought mine used, but it was apparently not fully broken in because it improved significantly over a 3 week period... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST? Braro, I think one of my JC1's had something similarly wrong; however, mine just stuck on red. That said, the amps played fine, but my nervosa got the better of me and I sent it back to Parasound to fix. It was a simple voltage clamp that was unde... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, I eagerly await your conclusions on the G-25U/UX-3 combo. Let's see if Mr. Ebaen's assumption that a 10 to 1 ppm clock precision improvement is significant to quality of sound or if it is, at best, very subtle like Mr. Ebaen concluded wi... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Banimir, thank you for the info and also the link...it was a good read, though extraordinarly long-winded. The jitter specs mentioned regarding the XO-3 and UX-3 may contribute to the perceived sense of the XO-3 being slightly better? I wish he wo... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Guidocorona, you are correct, the UX-3 and XO-3 have a "lesser brother" transport of the UX-1 and XO-1. That's why I was a little confused with the relative ranking of the UX-3 / XO-3. I have never compared them, but I assumed they would be very s... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, thank you for sharing your experiences...this has been very helpful!!! You are certainly the Esoteric man!! What is the cost of the G25? Guidocorona, I was speaking of the UX-3 versus XO-3 comparison. These two units use the same transpo... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, why do you suppose there is a significant difference between the UX-3 and X-03? You rated the X-03 at 65-70% and the UX-3 at 60% of the P-01/D-01/G-0s combo. They appear to be completely identical (parts and execution) through the digita... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Bombaywalla, the depth of my knowledge in the area of digital audio is not that great...I admit that. I am not a digital engineer. You are also correct that I didn't prepare for this discussion. However, it does appear that you have narrowed this ... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective So, you are saying that mis-reading a "0" for a "1" or vice-versa with some random frequency will cause the sound to become like a blender? It won't just misrepresent the amplitude value of the complex wave at those particular sampling points? Ass... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Lktanx, you do understand that a digital bitstream is just a voltage (analog) approximation of a series of square waves representing the "1" and "0"'s? It's not just mathematics.I was not referring to massive errors resulting in skips, etc. What I... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Lktanx, so if error correction is only for gross errors, then it seems logical that the transport becomes a very important part of getting the data correct, particularly if it can minimize the random errors that occur in all physical systems. If e... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Mike, I believe Lktak is referring to what nearly all Universal players use. Models like the Denon 3910 and many other Universal players read at something like 10x rate and buffer to SRAM, then reclock out. Some carry this buffering to redbook CD ... | |
| System Gain, Volume, and component matching? Thanks Bob, since the maggies are dipoles, they do not follow the same inverse law of decay that a point source would, but I'm not sure what relationship applies? I have a Rives test disc and I agree that 80dB is VERY loud with a continuous tone, ... |
