| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy First, I’m not familiar at all with headphone gear but it looks impressive and some steps above the Saga+. I thought the Freya+ was very good sounding and certainly punched above its price, though the manufacturing was very clearly to a... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy Perhaps this can help. I have good news and bad news. When I had the 004 I bought a Freya+ and used it with 2 Sylvania chrome domes. I liked it a lot and it bested an excellent SS preamp. Different than the Saga+ I used it with the bala... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq You wrote, "Let’s not get into ethical dilemmas." Why not? Taking advantage of return policies is a reasonable way to audition gear when you might actually buy the stuff. It’s not OK IMO when you just want to hear stuff that you have no... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq I don't know anything about a Tekton thread. But please, no false analogies. At one point I wrote to you, "Which you prefer is a matter of taste, and no one can substitute their judgment on that for your own." Is that the sort of post... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @metaldetektor Audiogon is a moderated forum. But that’s not enough for you. Now you are officially its policeman, protecting the great unwashed from being bamboozled. If you can find one thing that I wrote here that is untrue or over the top I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Earlier you wrote, "Shipping back to China with Shenzhenaudio is about $125 USPS. Which I did with another DAC." In view of what has been written here about returns to Shenzhen, would you describe that experience please. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara @lordmelton Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I am talking about EVS Ric, not Rick. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Earlier I wrote that I discovered the 004 as a result of Ric’s recommendation of the unmodified 004 on another forum He then began to do mods to the 004, However, I think because of its innate quality, his 004 modification was, by fa... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @pt999 @arafiq I respect the fact that pt999 might prefer the May over the Musetec and would be willing to pay the difference. One cannot argue taste. In one of my recent posts I have said the same. By the way, IMO it needs more than a week of... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? In the glory days of LP we used to speak well of those components that provided low level information. That was the air, the imaging, the detail. For classical music especially I want the detail for the music can be especially complicated. An orch... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @metaldetektor Thank you for your offer to review my DAC, but I would decline. If you want to evaluate the DAC you'll have to buy one like everyone else. As yyzsantabarbara comments it comes with a 30 day return privilege. Who knows, that may... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy Now that it is broken in somewhat, you're getting its full flavor. I'm glad that you are enjoying the DAC. As for the "DAC topology" it's all laid out in the pictures and descriptions on the Musetec home page. No mysteries here. That ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @frogman Some people just like to argue and like to fool themselves into believing they have made an irrefutable point. Your post is ridiculous. What you have referred me to is a series of didactic, pedagogic pieces written in a pseudo-classic... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @frogman It's Important to distinguish between folk music and the classical music inspired by folk music. There may be examples where they are hard to distinguish, but Ashokan Farewell is not one of them. It is so very clearly on the folk musi... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Dolby WAS for LPs. The tapes on which the music was recorded, before being cut to LP, were done with Dolby A. The extra two processing steps could not help but to compromise SQ, but for the reduction in hiss. What rvpiano has described has been wr... |
