Revel VS Avalon
I've heard both, though not in the same room. Both rooms were carefully (and expensively) treated. Both were mated with superb, though different, electronics (Salons: Sony SACD, ML 380S, ML 33H and VTL MB450's, Nordost IC and cables Eidolon: Spect... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
I think the Silverline Sonata is actually a 4-way design? The Sonatina is a 3-way. A friend of mine wants to experiment with SET and is considering the Sonata. Joe, could you describe the best attributes of the sound of the Sonata's? Can you drive... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
I owned the ML ReQuest and had the opportunity to play with their positioning in two separate (one dedicated) rooms for over a year. The ReQuests were a considerable jump up for me and I truly loved the sound, but after hearing a pair of Avalon Ec...

Thanks Craig. I'm at work now, but I'll post the Jeff Kalt e-mail when I get off tommorrow morning. Haven't seen the Madrigal paper posted on their site yet. I think it's a great paper to read for anyone interested. Hold tight. Jordan

I agree with Trelja! Craig has kept it all together, adding knowledge and understanding through expert testimony along the way. Great job, Craig! And thanks for a copy of the Madrigal paper!! I love the title: "Upconversion and the Emperor's New C... 
What the heck is Resolution Audio
Hi Eatrice. I e-mailed Jeff Kalt concerning a technical issue and where in Indiana I could find Resolution products. They just sent one to Synergistic Sound in Indianapolis (317-726-0243 -- Jim Jordan is the contact at Synergistic Sound) He also l... 
What the heck is Resolution Audio
A quick preview of Carl's previous posts leaves only "intenet" for "intent". I think this is called a TYPO!! I also think we are ALL allowed a few of these!!

Treyhoss, don't forget the analog output section. You could have two digital systems with identical digital conversion processes and parts and they could still sound considerably better/worse/different because of how the analog section is implemen...

Megasam, I think the only difference Kevin Halverson pointed out is that the term "upsampling" has typically been used when speaking about a separate box placed between the transport and processor. That "upsampling" box is simply an oversampling d...

Bernstem, I had the same opinion about the HFNRR article. They basically compared two different CD players and concluded they liked one better than the other. Not much different than if we all compared two different CD players and found the one wi... 
MIT or MITH?
I used the new MIT 750 Shotgun Biwire speaker cable last year. It was MUCH better than the considerably cheaper Kimber 4TC I previously used and MUCH better than the more competitively priced double run of Audioquest Midnight I was comparing it wi... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
I see that some posts were deleted from this thread as well as the "What the heck is Res Audio" thread. Did someone cry to mommy?

What the heck is Resolution Audio
That was polite, Carl. The reason my response above was so spirited is, quite frankly, that you were getting in the way of gaining a deeper understanding of digital processes for myself and others. You did this by writing things like: “The idea th... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
After reading Carl's recent post in "What the heck is Resolution Audio" I reached the point (that I'm sure all of you have at one point or another) that I have to call a spade a spade so to speak. Carl is full of crap!! At least on the upsampling/...
