| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @soix - I said everyone is free to spend their money the way that want. They are also free to think what they want. They may even disagree with professionals. Their choice. But stream is exactly the same in $1K streamer (actually, in $50 streamer... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @soix -are you a network software engineer? I wrote code that used in these streamers. Yeah, I am a minority. Guess what? Network engineers ARE a minority in general population, not everyone is educated in the field. And yes, streams and Word docu... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @inna - you had to upgrade digital b/c network and computer speed was insufficient for high resolutions. Now you can have 24/192 pretty much everywhere along with DSD. This does not have to be upgraded. Actually, good analog is quite a bit harder... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @soix - thank you, I know how computers and technology works fully and completely. They are all identical Linux boxes, just fancy cases and screens. If you think there are some sort of "bit errors" or "jitter" on the Net, think why is that Word d... | |
| Best Preamp with Tape In and Tape Out Monitoring Capability I recently researched this very subject. Tape loops are hard to come by these days, but here are few that have it: Higher Pass models - XP-22 and up, BAT preamps, Accuphase (pre and integrated), Luxman. | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Of course. LPs are often much better mastered. So LP, recorded at 24/96 often sounds way better than any stream OR even 24/96 from HD Tracks. This is not because analog is inherently better, but because mastering is better. I rarely actually liste... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @hheedah - Yeah, I’ve seen plasma speakers back in 90’s. In fact, one of my relatives was a physicist and knew the company owner - don’t remember the name of the speaker though. Their entry level is already way over and buying used exotic with clo... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mbmi - out of cusiosity, why do you think GR is a crapbox. Engineering appears sound and so are measurements. I have engineering and math background in signal processing so I can read charts and waterfalls and such. Can't find any measurements fo... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @deep_333 - all true :-). I am not going to spend that much. I hear Porsche 718 EV convertible is coming, so I'll save for that hahaha. I will try and see if I can Proac 48R or K3 to audition and maybe Dali Rubicon 8. But most probably I'll indee... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mbmi - I am sure Borresens is a nice speaker. However - I don't need speaker for "all kinds of music" - jack of all trades is always a compromise at a given price point. Only X2 is my price range and there are no dealers anywhere close to PNW. ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @audiokinesis - thanks much! The room is roughly 30x15x8. I don't have many room treatments, just what's left from my former HT setup - 6 12"x4' ASC tube traps and 4 6"x4' traps and maybe 5-6 1" 2'x2' absorption panels. Rug on the floor, thin carp... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Well I am not sure what in GR caused people to get angry? Engineering appears sound, measurements are good, adjustable sub section is a good thing, speakers go down to 20 almost flat, Danny improves and upgrades speakers from big names and people ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mbmi - is anything wrong with them? | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @deep_333 - Thanks! I also found GR and I am seriously looking into ordering pair of bullies. They indeed look like the ticket. I spoke to Danny as well wrt my search. @goose - Yeah, I wanted to drive down since they had Revel Studio 2 for sale,... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @ditusa - it says "performance of horns can be achieved", not that the speaker employs (or sounds like) horns. In that sense Revel (or few others) are "horns" because they use tweeter inside a waveguide... :-) After all, I own them and they don't... |
