| Blind fold hearing test Julian Hirsch and Hirsch Houck laboratories were synonymous; he spoke for the labs.Although you had personal contact with Julian, we both had an affection for the man. Mine was from reading his reviews for so many years and considering every word... | |
| Blind fold hearing test Before continuing my discussion with Viridian, I'll answer the blindfold question. For a multitude of reasons it's irrelevant; one reason is that there would have to be a significant difference between the components, which would also be in price... | |
| Blind fold hearing test Than you for setting the record straight in regard to the person, I referred to the lab, but I still have my Stereo Reviews where he stated he could not tell the difference between high quality amps.I held Julian Hirsch in high esteem and doted on... | |
| Blind fold hearing test Before I got into the "high end" Hirsh Houck of Stereo Review was my Guru, and he couldn't tell the difference between high quality amps, so I assumed there was little or no difference, but later on I discovered his hearing wasn't the best, althou... | |
| Streaming from a PC and the need for more storage. My computer Guru added an external hard drive which has more space than I'll ever use. I don't remember the cost, but I'm sure it wasn't too expensive. That's it, you're computer will take care of everything from there. | |
| Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport Although the question is ancient, I forgot to answer it to the best of my ability. When I purchased the Theta transport, the difference was massive; they make a huge difference, but the increased resolution seems to be a bad thing in your case. | |
| Confused About Relative Sonic Impact of DAC VS. Transport Since I have at my disposal someone with a degree in computers, maybe I shouldn't get in this conversation because since he's optimized my computer for CD playback I no longer think in ancient terms of transport and DAC, only experiment with DAC's... | |
| Reel to reel While watching the reels on my Technics 1500 spin at 15 IPS and enjoying the full dynamic range of Jimmy Smiths organ, accompanied by Kenny Burrell on guitar, I began to reminisce about my encounters with other tape decks.It all began in the early... | |
| Reel to reel Ironically, I owned a TEAC X1000R, purchased it new; I really loved that auto reverse, and the fact that it worked well with EE Maxell tape. At that time I was into getting the longest play time. Since I did a lot of entertaining then, I liked t... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Uberwaltz, from a technical point of view, early CD's were not as good as today's CD's. But just as the case of a technically inferior record, you would wind up with the same result; this usually consists of the whole batch, not just one record.I... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Some people take that word "opinion" off into the wild blue yonder; however, since most of us agree that R2R is the ultimate reference in regard to recorded music, we can proceed from that point.Digital or analog is not an audible difference or qu... | |
| Reel to reel Gusser, I owned an Otari before, but it was 4 channel; if it had been two track I would still have it; they're the most impressive deck for the money; approaching the Studer in many ways.In regard to clean bass in speakers, that's a lot dependent ... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. If a good CD is recorded to reel, the playback is pure "analog". What you have, is a noise free LP. | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Chakster, I'm totally convinced that whether or not you choose SS over tubes depends on your choice of music, and the aspects of that music which appeal to you most; in other words, I doubt if the two camps like the same music; however, if I audit... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I hooked up the Sony Video Cassette SLV 770 HF, and it sounded clean, loud and clear; no distortion. Beyond that I'm not going to compare it to any "high end" source, although the NEC I had was comparable to high end sources.Chakster, get some "r... |
