| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Prawax, thanks for the report! Which digital cable and termination type are you using with MT and CF DAC-040? | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Digital format is more likely to be consistent ( accurate?) from source to source rather than Analog. Each TT sounds different- mere change in settings. clamp force changes the sound drastically -questioning which one is truer. | |
| High end audio dealer in San Jose, CA Call Fred Nadel at Pure Audio. (831 234 4139) His audition room is in Scotts Valley, about 30 miles from San Jose. I think He has Magico q5, Zanden and BaLabo electronics and GrandPrix Monaco TT set up.Also in San Jose, there is Nick Gowan's audio... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Wow! only 4 paras, each few lines each and it tells you so much. Excellent writing skills!! Enjoyed great deal. And Bookmarked the link;-) Tell her to keep it coming. | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? If I am I reading Theaudiotweak right, I think he means isolation without knowing what you are isolating within the equipment is meaningless in the end. You don't know what modes (components in the equip) you are isolating and which ones you are e... | |
| Any one converting their analog into digital? Pedrillo, perfect timing for the thread. In fact i was thinking about the same past few months. I listen to many electronic/dub music and they mostly come on 12" singles with one or two tracks each side. And they do sound much better on Vinyl ( wh... | |
| Should the best systems sound almost identical? All good discussions above and all but what Mc's original contention or question is that on a PARTICULAR recording (be it a $1000 or Strads or Guarneris)., well matched high end best systems should bring out all three pretty much just like it soun... | |
| Should the best systems sound almost identical? Yes. They should come as close as possible to the absolute sound. At that price.I really don't buy an argument that we all hear differently. May be we do marginally but not enough to skew perception so much. I bet you we all can tell, blind folded... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Just came across this thread again. Since my last report many components have been added ( and some left).The Original La Luce by SpJ is still the most beautiful among my newer addditions:Clearaudio Master Ref on Clearaudio Everest Stand- beautifu... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak "IME, the sonic benefits of keeping a mechanical path to drain away vibrations trump the lower noise levels of a floating bearing. OTOH, if the finish and lubrication of the bearing points is such that significant noise and vibration are generated... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Here is one more vote for NOT using the ring. I, too, found that my Clearaudio periphery ring was making the music more digital like than analog. Since I had bought it i kept using it in the beginning wondering what is going on- never occurred to ... | |
| King of the Non oversampling DAC's? Lavry /Kondo ? Oops! Just saw a post from Roysen. | |
| King of the Non oversampling DAC's? Lavry /Kondo ? The NOS DAC discussion/crowning (;-)) is not complete without including the Zanden digital combo. | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Agree, God Bless child was way overcooked last nightJudges really suck, except Randy IMO. It is embarassing to watch ST and JL comment :" just beautiful", " best i ever heard", blah blah. I can't stop laughing when they make comments. To them ever... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Some times, it could be as easy as swapping the source I/c. Not to alter freq response but take that electronic tinze/noise surrounding the notes. I have three sets of cables at each source, same corresponding brand for each level of sound i desir... |
