| After the thrill is gone A long time ago I was at Singer Sound listening to “stuff” and kibitzing with the sales guy. Might have been the estimable Mr Guttenberg. I listened to the very expensive, at the time, ML (CLS model). A solo piano record was played and I was stunn... | |

| Turn down the Volume! It’s always something. Auto tune is the new compression! Which was EQuing the old Compression lol compression is a tool. Used well and judiciously, it shouldn’t be noticed by even good ears. There were loudness wars…mainly started by competing FM... | |
| ATC SCM 40 question “Anyway, they sound pretty incredible a lot of the time, but I've noticed on some recordings, not necessarily bad ones, just they can come across a little shrill and sharp, like the highs are overheated somehow.” I may be oversimplifying things b... | |

| Is there a DAC ranking list? I recently purchased a Chord Qutest. cakyol is on the money. (“unbeatable price” lol). I currently own (and use) five very different DACS (AK240, AQ Dragonfly Cobalt, Bryston BDA3, Classe’ CDP10, and the Qutest). Don’t ask. The obvious differe... | |
