| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? you guys are forgetting about a basic fact. accuracy means perfection.Perfection is a notion that is entirely a fabrication of the human mind. It implies a value judgment. Without that, the notion of "perfection" has no meaning. Most definitions o... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? The only thing that matters is enjoyment it is the only thing that is real and if it doesn't stay that way, time for a change. Amen. End of story. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? When it comes to electronics, accuracy matters, that's why there is not a lot of difference between the top amplifiers when you compare tube to tube and solid state to solid state. However, once you get back to cartridges, speakers and everything ... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? It may be an elusive quest, but without it, we're lost.Without it, we'd probably enjoy the music with one less distraction circulating around in our wee brains taking us away from becoming lost in (enjoying) the music. Of course some of us, in the... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? I no more think of "accuracy" when I'm attending a live musical event, as when I listen to music at home. Nor would I think of "accuracy" in terms of optical performance when viewing a photograph (in the latter it's so far from the point as to bei... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I've got to add one more that Richard_Stacy introduced me to, but hasn't mentioned yet. Especially in the light of the OP's initial mention of Sarah Jarosz....here's another young, original breath of fresh air: Sarah Jaffe. I've been listening to ... | |
| What's your best 5U4GB rectifier tube and why? I'm surprised no one has mentioned the EML (Emission Labs) 5U4g mesh. In my Modwright Transporter, and in my Woo headphone amp that rectifier was wonderful, and topped my list when rolling in both applications. YMMV according to the application/ci... | |
| High Quality DAC versus High Quality CD/SACD A good PC based system will easily perform as well, if not better than a standalone player and is most definitely not limited to 44/16 resolution. The DAC you choose, along with the interface between the computer and the DAC will determine the lim... | |
| What happened to my bass? Sounds to me like there's some kind of suckout at specific frequencies, which is not at all uncommon, and will vary entirely from room to room. My room has a suckout at around 200hz, clearly visible every time I've done a graph of the room respons... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Two great classical albums of recent:Helene Grimaud, Resonances (Motzart, Liszt and Bartok - this one's available on HDTracks!) Bach on a Steinway (great recording and unique performance - 'My goal was to be true to the style while recreating the ... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Swamp - agreed on the next two from Joss Stone! I've not listened to her fourth. I'd have to also call out her guest appearance on the Jeff Beck, Live at Ronny Scotts (GREAT video) is...well,....memorable (oh my, oh my...very memorable)! Made you ... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums How could I forget?! Joss Stone, The Soul Sessions. Classic!! | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Yea Marco, I think you will really like that one but of all the nonsense I spew on this forum, I cannot recommend the new Mountain Goats, All Eternals Deck, highly enough. Especially knowing you....this is one I would say rush out and buy it tonig... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Dgarretson....Maybe so but it is really a record that encompasses all of what is special about him...stripped down and poetic, reminiscent of his finest stuff like 1997's Smog "Red Apple Falls" or 2005 "A River Ain't Too Much To Love"...all with m... | |
| Logitech Transporter FYI I don't doubt that you hear differences in your wired vs wireless setup; however, those differences probably have more to do with your WLAN environment than anything else.else.In my case at least two of my comparisons were done with a 98% signal s... |
