Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
My point was that unless you attach a distortion-less analog stage to the back end, the full resolution cannot be realized.I can run a 16 bit dac that will out perform a 24 bit dac simply be using a distortion free (0%) analog stage.In a DAC the a...

The problem with most DACs is not the chipset on the front-end.It is the analog stage that follows. The digital data to be converted to analog far out strips the ability of the analog section to pass along the stored image." the preamp itself isn...

@parrotbee " I guess in terms of sound quality - gains will be marginal..."There is a way to obtain massive improvements in sound quality. At some point there will be a realization that the missing link in analog amplifiers is how much attention ...

toddverrone,Saw your system - nice. You made all the cables yourself?  And the DIY resonators?BTW - Your listening room is way too clean!

I understand - good luck to you and your daughter.

kosst_amojan I was going to offer to send you a stripped down line stage that would have one input / one output and a manual volume control under no obligation to buy. It would be a fully functional stage with auto-focus.You can live with it f...

kosst_amojan It sounds like you have a great system and I'm sure you are happy with it.The only thing I can tell you is I had a level of purity that I never thought could get better - then the latest version of the process that has a much tigh...

To all  -Well its been cosmic folks - time to get back to work.I was just coming up for air.Best thing to do is stay tuned to the web site / watch the news / read the magazines and see where this goes.A shout out to Miguel at Tripoint audio in F...

kosst_amojan " You can get away with some quite high distortion and still have convincing playback so long as that distortion is low in order and complexity."Yes this is a good point but under the conditions you just described you cannot pass...

kosst_amojan Here is the simplified version:When a recording is made of a performance in the hall and the sound waves strike the microphone diaphragm 2 bits of data are saved.1: what is the exact air pressure2: what is the exact moment in time...

" nobody actually building circuits talks in the cryptic code you do"Thank you - I like to think I am unique. It's probably because they are still building conventional circuits. BTW - what part is cryptic to you?So without hearing the process I'...
