| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @cleeds I like quibbling. Quibbling is what we do here and you’re absolutely correct about Julian Hirsch. Mea culpa. High Fidelity and what was first called Hi Fi Review were the two mass market magazines in the day They were pretty similar in... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The argument over "objective" (which are often not objective) measurements vs. "subjective" (which need not be subjective) listening is as old as modern audio, perhaps older. Some of us of a "certain" age will recall references to the "Julian Hir... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps I’ll add my voice to those who recommend an outer ring. When I got one I sold my vinylflat right away. It is far easier to use than any reflex clamp, and does the job better. Moreover, by adding weight to the edge of your platter it will add fly... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @toddk31 I just thought I’d echo what @2pol wrote. Your LKS 004, like the one I had, would probably test about the same as the Musetec 005. Yet you liked the work of the designer enough, just as I did, to order the Musetec. If you haven’t sen... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Yes, there are definitely two camps. I have to admit that I should have stopped reading ASR. But some of the opinions there are unforgettable so I had ti go back. On p. 15 there is a post by AudioEd. He says he has a number of fine DACs including... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Vivaldi: "Concerto for Hartbois, Basson et Cordes" (CD-Astree label-shockingly good sounding) @larryi Nice post, but could you please identify this (soloist, conductor, etc) so that we may find or stream it? Thanks. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Virtually all mass produced entry level DACs/CD players made by the mainstream brands follow the same recipe. Op-Amps (Inexpensive off the shelve varieties) utilized for I/V conversion and analog output stage duties. They employ generous amounts... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC As for the two pictures of the Musetec interior. It would appear that they were taken at various stages of the design of the Musetec. Recall that the designer said he made upwards of 10 designs and did a lot of listening before decided upon the fi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I received this message late last night from Jinbo Li, designer and manufacturer of the Musetec: Our current testing equipment can’t compare with ASR’s equipment. Their equipment is the highest grade at present. As I said in my previous email, I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC This is my follow-up to the publication of Jinbo Li’s short letter yesterday and his more extended communication this morning. He is the designer/engineer and manufacturer of the Musetec DAC. After a day of reflection I’m becoming more and more... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I received this more extended letter from Jinbo Li this morning. He is the designer and manufacturer of the Musetec. I will comment in a follow-up post. I wrote some words. I think it’s necessary to tell you my opinion. The development of DA0... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I wrote to the designer and manufacturer, Jinbo Li, this morning to tell him of amirm’s review. He responded though it was late at night for him. I have never known whether it’s in his English or Google translate: ________________________________... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I’m here to report that my Musetec 005 sounds as good today as it did yesterday. So eveyone can take a breath. It is notable that there are several people here who purchased the Musetec and compared it directly to a DAC that they had before and t... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @batvac2 You might find this post written for the Musetec MH-DA005 thread to be relevant to the "missing data" issue you raise here. | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? @bdp24 You write, "I know Harry . . . used the term Acrylic interchangeably with Delrin" And just how do you know this? He definitely knew the difference. His clamps were made of Delrin. He writes repeatedly and consistently of his acrylic lead ... |
