| What are the optimal percentages for analog system Since this precise question has been in the forefront of the minds of lazy audio thinkers everywhere, the exact subjective AND objective optimal percentages were calculated by a cadre of respected physicists and mathematicians working for a specia... | |
| How many years is a flagship component good for? Stanwal, are you using Martin Colloms's arbitrary ratings as some sort of objective indicator of performance levels? That scale of his is a bit of a laugh, and based entirely on his subjective tastes. It can't be taken seriously.Statements to the ... | |
| Benchmark dac and AntelopeAudio Isochrone OCX Digi But, what you're saying makes no sense. If jitter isn't a problem with the Benchmark (I have one), then it wouldn't do anything to "stabilize" the clock's timing. Stabilizing the clock's timing would, by your argument, reduce instability, increase... | |
| Van Alstine? No need; it has been proven time and again that folks can't even tell differences between vastly different amplifiers, exactly like the Stereo Review test. Not even the self-proclaimed golden ears. Have you read the test yet? It's not going to bit... | |
| Benchmark dac and AntelopeAudio Isochrone OCX Digi What is it you would hope to achieve by doing this? The Benchmark is largely jitter immune, reducing jitter to levels close to analyzer limits. See Stereophile's actual measurements, for what they are worth given the difficulty of measuring jitter. | |
| Van Alstine? Deering, pretty silly and pointless analog, don't you think? Can you tell the class why that is so? Again, you're still not able to come up with any valid reason why the golden-ears who partook in the Stereo Review test couldn't tell differences. ... | |
| Van Alstine? Well, anytime you fellers want to prove it by conducting any type of a/b test, go right ahead. It's been done countless times before, all with the same result.By the bye, noone ever said all amplifiers sound the same.Note carefully: Not everything... | |

| Van Alstine? Boy, you have *no idea* who you're criticizing, do you? Have you looked at David Rich's audio credentials (M.Sc., Ph.D. EE)? Are you really not familiar with The Audio Critic? Peter Aczel? Nothing? No bells?If actual, objective proof of a componen... | |
| Van Alstine? Tony,I wish this was so, but read the review--it's quite unbelievable, and evidences a seriously lax approach to basic audio engineering that would have little to do with whether you're building a DAC or an amp. I sure hope Van Alstine is better t... | |
| Van Alstine? I came across an older review of a Van Alstine Omega IV DAC as examined by engineer David Rich--go here to read it for examples of some truly heinous audio engineering: http://www.theaudiocritic.com/back_issues/The_Audio_Critic_26_r.pdfPermanently... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tvad, it's difficult, and requires more sophisticated measuring techniques involving measurements from many places in the room. See Lyngdorf's website for how they recommend doing it with their digital room correction system. Which is difficult in... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Martykl, there is never anything to be traded away by using electronic crossovers. I don't know why you think that. There are only strong advantages. There is no credible debate over the statement that it is always desirable to reduce speaker dist... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Almarg is correct; shoving a highly resolving system's signal through the electronic nightmare that was an Audio Control 101 to achieve flat response at the listening seat is an error. It would also ruin the sound due to the sheer amount of electr... |
