| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 I would call and ask for Devin. | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 No need to get your dealer involved. Just call EMM in Canada and they will set you up. | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 Four-thousand. | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 I paid for the upgrade from V1 to V2, and I'm glad I did. EMM is to be commended for giving owners the opportunity to take an older design and upgrade it to flagship status. | |
| Getting phantom image perfectly centered This is why we need three channel, with a summed center channel. Blame it all on shellac. | |
| Class D at low volume Performance at low volume is more determined by the sensitivity of the speakers than the design of the amplifier. Having said that, class-D performs fine at low volume, no better or worse on average than other types of solid state amplification. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I find it helpful to know what the designer of a particular piece of equipment is trying to achieve. Of course there is frequently some added marketing hype, but that's to be expected. The alternative is 'black box' audio- guaranteed to make your ... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Mgrif104 is right on. For Heavy Metal, JBL pro audio will blow away any home audio speaker. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? The 'fastness' (or 'slowness') of circuitry isn't something that can be picked out by ear. When distortion is low, the music sounds good. Making circuits 'faster' is just one way among many of lowering distortion. | |

| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Soulution advertises 'fast' amps. My understanding is that this enables them to use large amounts of negative feedback in order to achieve low distortion. Because they are 'ultrafast' negative feedback loops, they do not degrade the sound. So says... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? So far we've learned that Spectral is fast, MIT cables are slow and rolled off, and prices are too high. Anything else? | |
| For Your Amusement, or Dismay... Great article. I own several thousands of vinyls, and it is amazing how great some of them sound. But digital is now the gold standard. I also agree that the differences between high rez and standard rez digital have been overhyped, in the effort ... | |
| In defense of ABX testing Zd542, I think statistics is somewhat of a pseudoscience, so I can't completely address what you are saying, other than to offer my own experience. When there is a significant difference between two listening test scenarios, that difference is qui... | |
| In defense of ABX testing I agree that only a limited number of switches are needed, if the test conditions are good. What are good test conditions?: A treated room with good acoustics, high quality electronics, well-recorded music, the ability to do rapid switching (havin... |
