| 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. | |
| On a scale of one to ten how would you rate....... Al - Thank you for the link. I believe that grounding shield at both ends is a mistake but there are some studies showing improvement with high frequency noise rejection. One important thing they mentioned in the article is to NEVER defeat ground ... | |
| On a scale of one to ten how would you rate....... My Rowland class D amp has only XLR inputs (mature decision) so I cannot compare but from what I've heard balanced gives a little more air. There is another reason for using XLR different from the sound quality, It is an arrangement of connectors ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryoncunningham - we have two problems here:First - you believe that more neutral sound will be a joy to most of the people - not true. People like particular sound of their system (coloring, attack, decay reverberation etc.) even it it is not exa... | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room Smaller room - let say 15x15 will amplify 40Hz (1150/15/2=38Hz) creating effect of bass pressure while 30x30 room amplifies 20Hz not present in music material therefore sounding more flat (natural). | |
| Recommendation for speaker wire upgrade "A quick, inexpemsive trip to Home Depot for purchase of their 12 gauge speaker wire is needed to finally put your 'cable monster' to rest. Keep an open mind, please. It will change your audio life, forever."Absolutely agree - it will change your ... | |
| Meridian 808.2 CD Player...... Mert - I just had impression from your statement that you think J.A was talking about SACD performance. You are entitled to your opinions but for me, at least, J.A opinion counts more. And this is just an opinion. | |
| USB Length, jitter and Volume Control Questions I have the same setup as Shadorne and also cannot hear the difference between Aiport Express and CDP (same Benchmark DAC1)."Front Row" on Leopard doesn't work with Airport Express and that's what Airfoil is for. It can transfer Front Row/Itunes or... | |
| Recommendation for speaker wire upgrade Hi5harry - if it's not used for a while it needs break in again. For that reason Audioquest polarizes dielectric with DC voltage (close to 100V now) from attached battery. | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room Paul - 938s, in spite of quite large bass cabinet, are rated only 35Hz. It could be lower but I think they tuned port to get less distortions and not the extension. Sub in that case will serve dual purpose. Sub that equalizes itself and has phase ... |
