| Oversampling DAC Vs. Non Oversampling? Matt - "forward and aggressive" is an issue of system matching. Your Dali speakers would not like SS amp with bright DAC. My older Paradigm speakers were a little forward with class D amp and Benchmark DAC but new Hyperion 938 speakers sound laid ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System My friend bought Honda Civic and he just loves this car. He believes that there is no correlation at all between performance/quality and the price. I told him that quality difference between Rolls-Royce and his Honda Civic is pretty much the same ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Mitch - Double Barrel is very good and it is step above Satori Shotgun (so I heard). Satori wires look like Teflon isolated strands + one wire consisting of strands of isolated (enamel) magnet wires. I was looking for Silver Reference II ICs (abou... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Dgarretson - I also like system a little on the warm side because too warm CDs are not as unbearable as too bright ones.There is also an issue of cost and compromise. My brother's modest system consisting of Marantz 6000KI, Nad and inexpensive Cab... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Oops - did I say I want neutral sound? I guess we're all searching for natural/balanced sound but it's definition is very personal. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Dgarretson - You're obviously in a "warm" camp while I'm searching for neutral sound. It just happened that my new Hyperion HPS-938 speakers combine resolution and speed of electrostats with a definition and dynamics of dynamic/cone type of speake... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Vince, I'm sorry - I read it too quick. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Tuned to warmth - that is your preference. I don't care for warmth (other than winter clothing here in Chicago). | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Vince, I hope you realize that what sounds neutral to you might sound too warm or too cold to somebody else. I don't question that one might perceive sound as neutral but it is just only personal subjective opinion.Dgarretson wrote - "There are ma... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Dgarretson - absolutely agree. The problem is who is the judge? My system sounds very resolving and natural to me whilst I'm not sure it would sound the same to you. You are already "contaminated" believing that warm resolving sound is a goal. War... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Muralman1 wrote "Better is the listener's subjective notion of how he likes the music colored."Vince, you assume listener thinks that his sound is colored. Just ask owner of very warm sounding system (vinyl, tubes, warm speakers) if his system sou... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Dgarretson- you suggest in your question that neutral is a good thing. My Benchmark DAC1 was, in studio test, the most accurate DAC but it was also called sterile, analytic etc. and not picked as a best DAC at the end.Neutral often means analytic,... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon - Analyzing or not is a personal preference but we disagree about something different - your believe that more neutral system will sound better and more diverse to most of the people. Sounding better and sounding neutral are two completely d... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryoncunningham - You're a nice guy and I like reading your posts very much. Merry Christmas to you and all Audiogonners. | |
| Happy Christmass everyone Merry Christmas to you.Kmulkey - You're absolutely right. If there is any time of the year we should not speak politics it is now. |
