| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit I give up! The Recording Industry is Steam-Rolling over Sound Quality, as the rest of us are wrapped up in petty bickering! I can just hear us complaining with each other as we all are being squeezed flatter than a pancake!" Look, it's K-K-K-Kenny... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit The Public did reject SACD/DVD-Audio, but not for the reasons that you believe. It wasn't an experiment in High Rez. Digital, the manufacturers simply did not have all of their ducks in a row with sound quality prior to releasing SACD/DVD-Audio. T... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit Amazing that one can misspell a word, and yet someone still gets the correct meaning. Someone gets the accurate meaning in such a way, as to get the exact corrected version spelled properly. It is certainly not E.S.P., it must be coincidence. Once... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit I remember when I was a teenager, everything had to be for the moment. My attention span was extremely short, and everything had to be about convenience in a rapidly fast paced Teenagers life. I eventually grew out of it, and started to appreciate... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit One last response. Dgarretson, everything you say may be true, but you make it all sound like its stagnate and non-transitory. People do have epithanies, radical changes in opinions and awareness, something that comes along that violently rocks ou... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit All great responses. Buconero117 hit the nail right on the head, Older Folk are fighting a drop off in hearing ability that makes it harder to appreciate 'difference'. All true, except despite this, and being ignorant of the equipment he was liste... | |
| DACs and reproduced sound " I can't recall a Reviewer ever stating that a top player made a CD sound worse than before ", does this mean that they are all perfect, or does it mean that only the perfect players were the ones that were reviewed. Your point of a 110% perfecti... | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Dear Dgarretson, I wasn't claiming that a "perfect DAC" would be too revealing of the underlying flaws of the CD Format. Every Recording, Analog-Digital Conversion, and Playback peice of Equipment damages the original to varying degrees. They all... | |
| DACs and reproduced sound I think that this is an interesting technical discussion, lots of information. I keep on thinking that if God came down with the perfect DAC, none of us would probably like it. The whole Analog to Digital Recording process, plus the Digital to Ana... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system I agree with Tvad, and Tbg. The System/Format that I described could be utilized to satisfy both 2-Channel enthusiasts as well as Mult-Channel. Its real benefit in Downmix 2-channel form would be to provide the Music that is missing from 2-channel... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Dear Mig007, Damn, wish I had a Username like that. I have always complained about the limitations of 2-Channel CD/SACD/DVD-Audio, in comparison to Analog Records. I never really was a big fan of Multi-speaker Surround Sound for Music either. I ha... | |
| Analog Novice concidering new tonearm, seeking rec Tried Vinyl Nirvana, Dave has a consulting fee payable via Credit Card, I guess. Don't have a Credit Card, don't believe in them. Just trying to get a feel as to weither improvement in sound quality would be worth the cost of installing a differen... | |
| Looking for a great, inexpensive phono stage... Dear Dogmcd, Here is something to keep the Villagers at bay. BEL CANTO PHONO 3-mint. SELLER-Loudv12(136). The Man lives in Marina Del Rey, CA. He is asking $925.00, right here on Audiogon. Marriage made in Heaven with a Bel Canto s300i. I would be... | |
| Looking for a great, inexpensive phono stage... Dear Dogmcd, All of your choices might be wonderful, but they are like playing Russian Roulet to find one compatible with your Bel Canto s300i. You can play with the Dr. Frankenstein Squad and see what Experiment might develop, or you could play i... | |
| New vinyl's noisy little secret Dear Ducatirider, Point well taken. Fewer Manufacturers, less competition, less drive for improved Quality. Still think deteriorating Master Tapes are a separate, but big problem. Even if you improve the quality of the Records, what are you going... |
