| CD transports; do they really matter Sounds better but not that much impact which leads me to wonder if the issue is the transport in the Luxman ( or my digital cord). Issues with CDP are usually always mechanical, not electrical. Like, due to any number of reasons they fail which... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @stuartk Yes, exactly, you got it. I’d encourage people to follow this advice.. Its just prudent and common sense. My own CDP (Rega Saturn) has some DAC in it that was state of the art at the time - in 2008. It is very good, as it happens. Chuc... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @charles1dad The belief that it’s all about the DAC is misguided in my opinion. Comparing different transports with the same DAC is robust. Easy. And Sigma Delta DACs are mostly all very good these days. So, yes. Cannot comment on R2Rs but I un... | |
| Do you trust your system? Yes I trust my system and I know why that is reality. There was no luck involved. Should I one day go down the Class D path, I will trust my choice there for the same reason. My system is invariant between different recordings/mastering/genres e... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal A fairly undignified testament of one’s faith to accuse anyone who confronts it with facts to be paranoid. | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @twoleftears As regards proprietary modules, power output, and price, the two products are directly comparable. The fact that one is housed in two cases is secondary. The Audions are nice but not only considerably more expensive but also less p... | |
| Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP) set vs pp is just one dimension of difference of probably 10-11 relevant attributes That this is true is an understatement. There are simply too many different variables at play here to even begin to speculate. Unless you wish for general stat... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @kuribo If the maker of this amp provides similar measurements, we can make that assessment. But Ralph specifically says that his amp does have 2nd and 3rd harmonics at some level.. If I’m interested in buying a car that is grey, I don’t even ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @twoleftears That AGD price is for the stereo unit. The Atmasphere are monos. The AGD monos (Audion in satin) are $7500. But even then, one coould speculate.....The question is how much of the difference in price is due to the bling factor... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @kuribo From the website - The Class D amp has the same kind of distortion signature {as tube amps}, but at a much lower level. This, to me, is reasonably unambiguous. From what I understand of Hypex and Purifi (and others, of course) amplifi... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @kuribo a large segment of the market likes state of the art design, excellent objective performance, as well as a neutral and transparent sound. Slightly circular I think, because those words define the "market" as being those who like state ... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal This extract from the Code confirms that the current Covid vaccine program is not in violation of the Nuremberg Code. It goes to exactly what I already know and the basis upon what I said. So my original statement stands. | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal @frogman The idea that the unvaccinated should lose or be downgraded for medical services is not only the result of this fear, it is also inhumane. Very inhumane. There is a solution of course, and that is to make taxpayer funds available for ... | |
| About users with hidden agendas … hilarious lines from Abbot and Costello …. Tony and Peter? @holmz Two politicians walk into a bar. Cringe. | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal @yuviarora Vaccine mandates are a crime against humanity, and are in direct violation of the Helsinki Declarations and the Nuremberg Code. Did you make that up? Because its not true. |
