When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I can't find the comment, but he said something like I last listened to digital in 1988, enough said. His comment has a ring of truth, but I want to address the importance of history here. For instance, I 100% deoxited and 100% progolded my Oritek... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Guidocorona, I think is was a combination of the afteraffects of listening at Aplhifi combined with his proof that it wasn't the digital recording process that was the problem. I also experienced some of what I' de call digital effects not driving...

I've decided to buy Alphifi's Denon 3910, and I don't own any cd's. 
Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?
I haven't read all the posts, but I heard Alex's system at Alphifi, and I am an analogphile. I'm not sure about how the presentation compares, but I am sure(I think), that the effect of listening to Alex's system was much greater than my system-di...

C5150, I've just joined your ranks, for reasons other than your own. I'm confused from my audition of Aplhifi's sytem. Fortunately, he sells what I heard. First though, I have to understand it. It almost seemed like it didn't matter what was being...

This will show my ignorance, but by recording techniques, I meant something like the singer who's voice was coming from the left side of his throat to maybe step further away from the microphone to give a more natural presentation. D_edwards, woul...

Aplhifi, thanks for the correction, but that was fantastic Nat King Cole. I had one question, though. You showed by that direct from turntable to digital disc that it's not necessarily digial, per se, that is a problem. But I think we played a cd ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I have to mention one more thing about listening at Aplhifi. The high I get from listening to reproduced music was more pronounced and longer lasting than I get from my system. I thought maybe it was due to tubes, as Gunbei suggests. Aplhifi has a...

But, what about the soul of the music? Tvad, you have to admit that it is a catchy title? I think I evaluate reproduced music now by how it affects me after I've listened. Things like changing my mood, relaxing me, getting the serotonin going. Gui...

Sorry about the doubling of the same post. The point that Aplhifi was saying about the digital recording mechanism not being that much of a problem, might have been proven by that DVD-A disc that he recorded. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I want to apologize Aplhifi, for misspelling your name, and thanks for having me over there. I also heard that DVD-A disc that Aplhifi made, and my comment was "this sounds like analog vinyl". I did notice that the most natural sounding discs were...

When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I just got back from Alphifi's, and I appreciate the fact that you guys haven't actually call me a neophyte. He, and many others out there, are far, far more experienced than I am. Now, I have to say that Alphifi has made all his own equipment, in...

It turns out that Aplhifi lives less than one mile from me, and I will be bringing over the Oritek X-1's and X-2's for an audition on Saturday. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I want to defend Tvad here. First, he posts a lot. Second, I believe that he gets more out of posts on audiogon than almost anyone. That is why, I believe, that he is insistent on people posting properly. I also suspect that he might actually be a...
