You have not convinced me. Knowing what a family of acoustic instruments sound like in real life should be one's gauge, not the recording. Besides Atmasphere is no more likely to remember whether his playback sounds like the performance. He still ...

Tvad, you are walking right into that bravado I just tried to debunk. Any master tape is going to be more accurate to the performance than that which is tortured through processing. There are great recordings and a lot more bad. Saying that only t...

Oh, so that means only you know your system is top dog? I believe if a person of good hearing is familiar with acoustic music, they can tell if a recording is doing a good job representing acoustic music. I know the sound of a guitar, so I know if...

Hey Atmasphere, reference sir? my Scintillas can bring all the thunder of four antiphonal organs complete with reverberations, off the walls of the Cathedral of Freidburg to life in my listening room.

Yes! If we all could be weekly attendees to live acoustic events, from grand pianos to grand sweeps of an orchestra, we would largely have the same reference to draw upon. Among my visitors, those folks with a good deal of that experience see the ...

Mr. Tennis, my system sound has evolved from one matching your experience to one now that is on all day long. It didn't take me long to realize there were things you can do to bring out the best results. A remedy for your complaint, "solid state a...

That is a good question. Looking into it, B&O does employ class AB amps for mids and highs in their Beolab 7. While their flagship speaker, the Beolab 5, uses all 1CE amps. It's quite a mystery. I sent them a query. http://www.bang-olufsen.com... 
most accurate loudspeakers....
The first and last speaker to fool me I was listening to a live performance is the Apogee Scintilla. No other system, in any room has come close. That moment when I walked into an audio store, where I had listened to scores of speakers, I heard a ...

We have concentrated on the Rowland 201 because the most vociferous defender of class D happens to own that Rowland. I have not heard any of the Rowlands, and have no opinion of their sound. The builder of my amps, the H2O (a 500A module amp), als...

Increased ownership of class D amps. As little as a year ago, there may have been maybe a dozen posts. Some few of us were championing class D four years ago. We were laughed at then. Now there is strength in numbers. This is great!

Kijanki, just reading your description of the path the signal has to go through to be cleansed leads me to imagine just what I hear from those DACs, forced. My music is free breathing, unrestricted. There is absolutely no audible distortion. I jus...

Oops, I meant to say, "Ultra thin ribbon," and not cable.

Kijanki, I hear you. I know someone who told me they feel music should be blended because that is how he hears it in the audience. He went out and bought the same speakers as I, and put a Krell on them. Talk about opposing forces..... My DAC has n...

Kijanki, On my 1 ohm speakers, there is very very little resistance in the way of the signal. The signal is beautiful and natural when it is left alone. Oversampling, as elegant a circuit as is, cannot operate without introducing some timing error...
