Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit
One more thing, as long as we are on the Evolution subject. It is obvious that many on this Thread, have sold their soul for the sake of De-Evolving Format Sound Quality to its lowest common denominator. This goes against the Nature of things, sin...

In case anyone is interested, I have just sent an E-mail to Matt Graber, point of contact for Capitol Mastering at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, CA. You know, the place where the DIANNA KRALL: THE LOOK OF LOVE DVD-Audio Recording was mastered. I was...

What is your point, Dgarretson, of even trying to ride any false peaks or summit, with a 500 Lb. weight on your back? A 500 Lb. weight of-CD-SACD-DVD-Audio Formats dragging you down! Your solution is a $10,000.00 Bike to handle the extra load, we ...

Again with the Hardware, as a convenient distraction from the severe lack of Sound Quality in the Format! Lets be real, Mapman, dropping 10s of thousands of dollars on any System, in a vain attempt to make up for the severe lack of Sound Quality i...

No-one! Then the Girl never gets asked out, and we all become part of the Idiots suffering under a self imposed Illusion! An opportunity for better Sound Quality, quickly slips away, because no-one will grasp it in time! This is the Audiophiles Pl...

I am not working either, collecting a Pension, not quite certifiable. Still manage to pay my rent, and put food on the table. I certainly hope that no-one has gone beyond that! I can think of a few Historical Obsessive Compulsive Characters, like ...

Everyone has been harping on a plan. IMO it is nothing more than Red Meat for the so-called intellectual Nay-saying Dogs to feed on! They shoot Audiophiles, don't they? Here is the Plan, Bon-Apetite Adolph! 1. Try to establish if Downmixes of Mult...

I am laughing at myself, because some of these Responses hit too close to Home. BOOM! Your Response just sank my Battleship Savings Account! Anyone need a donation of Blood?

Vineman55, there is varying Quality in Balanced Outputs, Analog and Digital. The Space-Tech-Lab Balanced Digital/Analog Outputs on my Pioneer best match the same Inputs on my other Space-Tech-Lab Equipment. I am not familiar with the DAC1 Pre, who...

How do you figure? I thought that the idea here, was to poke fun at oneself. I thought the idea, was not to take yourself so seriously, hardly an ego exercize. Need to tone it down on the Turbo, Johnny, where is your sense of humor? The only thing...

You dedicatedly read every last one of these Responses, and realize atleast half apply to yourself. The Canadian Customs Officials know you by name, don't even bother checking your package of the latest hand made Tube gear that you are bringing ba...
