| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. the hardest frequencies to get correct are 40hz-250hz in the mid and upper bass.(1) it’s the power frequencies where vocals, drum kits, cello’s, and piano’s either live or die. (2) it’s where the room will have the greatest things to say and (3) w... | |
| Abbey Road MoFi or Reissue the new 50th Anniversary 3 disc pressing is quite good, much better than the Mo Fi. but it's also 'massaged' to some degree and not as pure as a good original. but it's likely the best bang for your buck buying Abbey Road for the first time and i ... | |
| On the hunt for the "just right" turntable lamp-ideas, and where to find 'em? what if you could have the perfect light that sat on the floor behind your rack? and you could adjust it perfectly. it would never get knocked off or need to be in the way from any angle. i own 4 of these and you can see them in my system pictures... | |

| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? ask Andreas about 2xdsd verses 4xdsd. not relevant to this discussion. i have plenty of 4sdsd files where i have 2xdsd too. meh. i like and appreciate the difference but it’s not profound.ADC for some was a Modified Korg. others i think were a Mer... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I’m going to put the onus back on you.Please record your analog material to digital - without clipping - so you’re using the same master as source material. Level match the two sources, and record the output from your system. Compare the waveform... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I own 15 IPS tape from Ultra Analogue Recordings. I also own the CD and Digital File versions. I listened in my room with Roger Ginsley the Canadian rep for Studer and the engineer behind the recordings. The digital was right there with the Tape.... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Anyone claiming that digital is worse than analog because of "real world dynamics" is misguided. please cite examples so we can all listen and comment. or come over to my room, bring your files and dac, and we can both listen and see where it... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? So Mike, it appears you have an obvious bias in this regard which makes it difficult for us to interpret what you have to offer in this conversation. obvious bias? really?it’s tempting to get defensive with a comment like that. i will try to stay... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Geez...Is anyone going to address the OP’s simple question? early in the thread, this was addressed. it’s basically unanswerable since there are so many levels of analog. maybe if you identify a particular price point of analog you can come up w... | |

| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? what brought that 1995 Stereophile article to my attention recently was a private exchange i happened to be on the periphery of, between the designer of my Music Server, and an un-named iconic high fidelity techie we all would know. my Server Desi... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? as asked the question is not answerable.there are so many levels of analog that you can't really say. i have what many consider to be the very tip top, bleeding edge of digital performance. yet, my best vinyl or tape easily surpasses it.however; a... | |
| Soulution or CH Precision regarding darTZeel and dynamics and fast transients, i would say that you have it completely in the service of the music. and that the amplifiers you are considering are 3x or 4x the price of the 108 stereo dart. granted the mono darts are even mo... | |
| Soulution or CH Precision i play in that sandbox too; ultra uber Swiss solid state.if you read the current Stereophile you will read about the new darTZeel 468 mono block amplifiers and 18NS preamp, and the CH P M1.1’s are contrasted.http://www.stereophile.com/content/dart... |
