| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? if you listen to say 100 stereo syetms, each containing a particular component, one may induce, if one observes a consistent sonic characteristic, that the compoent may have a certain quality. such a conclusion is based upon induction.let's consid... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? with regard to the zanden, while i have not executed a direct comparision with other dacs, i have yet to hear sytem that resembles the "classic" tube sound to the degree i heard when a zanden dac was part of a stereo system. so while not a truly s... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? since nobody has specified what "best" means, the implicit connotation is one's favorite dac, regardless of its sound.in that case, the first zanden dac smokes them all. | |
| Arcam or Unison Unico here is how i would evaluate the question.the arcam is solid state. the unison is a tubed unit.thus, there is a greater possibility that tube rolling will provide a presentation that you like than taking a chance with a cd player whose sound will ... | |
| Do you ever doubt you ears ? how about : "how confident are you in the acuity of your hearing? ".sense perception is imperfect so whether one doubts one ears are not it is possible to be certain of one's perception. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? it's possible that we are complicating a simple phenomenon of acuity. some people hear what others do not, for what ever reason. this is true for all the senses, and applies to diferences in taste, sight and touch that are perceptible to some and ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? hi larry:i think you have nailed it.some people can detect differences of 2 db , while others don't detect them unless they exceed 3db, so i guess it's a matter of aural acuity. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? there is a field in psychologyb called psychophysics.essentially its concern is the ability of a person to hear differences between stimuli.with respect to sound there have been experiments which show that at certain frequences, given a an spl of ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? yes, there are probably people who try to convince others that there are no differences with respect to many of life experiences, in addition to audio.however, the issue here is denying differnces when someone else reports them. it may not be an a... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? hi tbg:i agree with you as to the perceiver of sound.however the question asked ls "why do intelligent people deny audio differences?"the simple answer is variations in perception.if three people witness an accident and there two distinct versions... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? hi tbg:our senses do not provide certainty or knowledge.anecdotal information regarding differences in sound are purely opinions not facts.audiophiles disagree as to differences in sound or whether differences exist. its just a matter of differenc... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System here is a way of looking at bang for the buck.compare the affect of replacing an amplifier with the affect of replacing a cable (speaker, ic or power cord).if the affect upon the sound of a stereo system is more "pleasing" when replacing the cable... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? why is there seemingly so much concern regarding a person's attitude about a hobby ?such a concern seems like a trivial pursuit to me. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? i think some people are taking the subject "audio" to seriously. it is just a hobby, competing with many other hobbies.hopefully we define ourselves by our character not by our hobbies.chill out guys. it's no big deal whether people are or are not... |
