| DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog a better test would be a comparison between the original zanden dac steve's latest dac.i consider the first zanden dac as my favorite dac. | |
| DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog hi steve:the problem is the digital volume control. when you set it to max, the analog vol control on the preamp is providing less gain.my experience, as stated, is that is preferable to minimize the contribution of "digital" gain in favor of anal... | |
| Worth Going to 'THE SHOW' IN NYC IN APRIL show was somewhat disappointing, except for the robyatt room with the quad 57's.i can honestly say i would not want to own any system i heard in the rooms i visited with the exception of the room with the quad 57's.however, kudos to berning's mono... | |
| DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog i have the ps audio separates (pwt and pwd).the pwd has a digital volume control.i prefer the sound using the digital vol control at 61 percent of max and using more gain on the preamp.i think the digital volume control is inferior to the analog v... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? the original cdx (naim, citca 1992), would compete with anything out there.of course its all opinion.with respect to analogue, there are many cartridges that have such an imbalanced frequency response, especially a peaky lower treble), that most w... | |
| Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention regarding break-in, i have found that some cables sound great with a few hours on them, but then degrade after about 300 hours. be careful. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? the original subject of this thread "magic", may be irrelevant, as one's perception of sound is influenced by unconscious bias or expectations. its a form of the placebo affect.what i am saying is that explantions as to why one hears something may... | |
| best sound for a classical and jazz cd thanks for the suggestions. | |
| Digital vs Analog - A supposition... first, perception is subjective. i suspect that some audiophiles might prefer digital. it all depends upon the analog setup.second the best of all possible worlds is the microphone feed.the closer to the source, the better the sound. | |
| suggestions--power cords i have auditioned and owned many power cords. i have reviewed my share as well.i currently use mostly ear to ear. why ? great bass and slightly warm to neutral presentation. cords seem to project a balanced frequency response and have no obvious f... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? wwhile not disagreeing with the basic definition, i think that as human beings we experience phenomena for ehich we have no explanation, or perhaps an erroneous one.i think there are many examples of magic in that our store of information is limit... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? whiole perception maybe our only way of evaluating sound, it is unreliable and is not knowledge.hence one is dealing with probability of accurate sense perceptionss.there is no certainty, no truth, only conjecture. | |
| MAC palldium ic vs. RS cables palladium ic ??? forget palladium. buy gold. | |
| Quad ESL57s and Anti-Cables? nefore you commit to magnan signature cable, i would suggest you listen to several other cables to determine your sonic preferences.there may be other cable, at a lower price, which may suffice.obviously, i do not use magnan cable. i had an early ... | |
| SameSspeaker Cable and Interconnects look at the question logically and empirically.there is no justification for keeping the brands the same and there is no necessary condition for mixing and matching.it would seem that since there are so many cable brands available, there is no def... |
