| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Brownsfan,I think this is the death knell for HiRes. Between their outta sight pricing and the advent of new DAC technology their days are numbered. IMO, it is only a matter of time. | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I think the main menu is that no system will never reach the pinnacle. There is always more to be done. The problem is making the best possible choices within our budget to improve the sound quality. Diminishing returns? You never know till you ad... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Douglas_schroeder,You stated "Yet, we have mass delusion in this hobby in that everyone thinks their rig is right at SOTA sound. No one wants to admit they are a long way from the upper echelon." Your statement is a slight exaggeration. Yet there ... | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? All of this may be a moot point with the advent of DACs like the PS Audio DS DAC that play PCM like DSD. Which means Redbook CD is very much alive and well. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Geoffkait,Because the physical carrier of the signal has mass. | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Sts,I believe that not everyone here will know who Sts is. IMO, it would have been appropriate for you to make a full disclosure before your recent post to let people know that you are the maker of Gabriel Gold cables. | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Tubehead21,When you state "I don't think the Huffmans and the Shunyatas would ever be cross-shopped ", I think you may be surprised that I am not the only Audiogon shopper who has "cross-shopped" from Huffman to Shunyata -- either directly or with... | |
| Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons Bo1972,Most recently Furutech and Elrod. | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Jmbatkh,My comments (above) have no bearing on how much we enjoy our systems, no matter how evolved they may be. I use to get immense pleasure from my crystal radio and then my transistor radio. And then my first real system in 1967. It is very tr... | |
| Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons Tubes444,What I meant was that the size of the images was the same as before insertion -- realistic in all respects and not over-sized. | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Jmbatkh,You're absolutely right about synergy. But the quality of the synergy is what I am taking about. That's what really matters. You cannot get superior synergy with, for instance, Grover Huffman or Pangea or Gabriel Gold or so many other cabl... | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Ghosthouse,With all due respect this has nothing at all to do with snobbery. As noted earlier, it has to do with a multi-year comparison of cables from many companies. And may I reiterate, my comments apply equally to a whole host of cable makers,... | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Rsjm80,It looks like you have a really nice system. You owe it to yourself to upgrade your cables. A nice improvement in SQ would be your reward. | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Mofimadness,Please note that my comments about Grover Huffman cables appealing to "inexperienced ears" are by no means exclusive to these cables. My comments apply equally to Kimber, ASI, HiDiamond, Synergistic Research and many other cables I hav... | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Mofimadness.That's true about my cable design. But my comments here are solely based on my experience with high end cables in my system for lengthy periods of time -- everything from Kimber to Cardas to ASI to HiDiamond to Bybee to Synergistic Res... |
