| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? “You are right , you never accused any subjectivist audiophiles of placebo effect in the posts i read from you” When audiophiles perceive audible differences where non exist in casual non level matched non time synchronized comparisons it isn’t d... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? The interpretation is not an accurate account of my beliefs. So I guess I should make myself more clear at this point. Transparency in audio is an utter lack of any *audible* distortions between a component’s input and output. ABX DBTs are an effe... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? “scottwheel defines transparency not in a positive way...” Please don’t try to speak for me. I don’t define transparency. It has its own definition. And there is nothing “negative” about it. | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? “so you are an ’all modern solid state amps sound the same’ guy if they are not clipping?” most. Not all | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? “no, transparent is not enough.” Then you want added colorations. A perfectly legitimate personal preference. I like them too. But I use DSP for that so the transparency remains an option. Once you color your playback with a colored amp it puts t... | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! “Measurements aren't taken in the real world and the way the equipment is used, it's usually taken in isolation, not the system as a whole with music.” what measurements are you looking at? | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! “ I honestly have no idea what “accuracy of the music” means. That’s one of the differences between you and Bernie.” what? That he is fluent in gobbledygook and I am not? I guess it’s a job skill for folks working in the audio industry | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? “transparent is not enough for a solid state amplifier, musically complete, grain less and flowing are the challenges. these are relative things. not absolutes.” transparent is all of those things if those things are in the recording. Transparent... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “I use dedicated audio gear. Not computer savvy and exclusively stream Qobuz. Is the BACCH preamp as good as you approach?” sorry I did not get back to this sooner. I’m not computer savvy either. I went the BACCH4Mac route because it is a lot le... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? “ I’m not attacking your credibility I’m just never going to agree with you.” let’s take this moment to think about what it means to be stuck in one’s position. It is often mistakenly believed that open mindedness and skepticism are diametrically... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? “thats good for you. We can agree to disagree. That’s perfectly fine I don’t have anything to prove to you. Even if someone did you are stuck to how you feel. Take care.” I am genuinely happy for you that you enjoy your stereo. But your last r... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? “We are not in the same business here ...” I’m not in any business here. I work in film not in audio. ”Since you came here you seems to be in the business of debunking audiophiles , style James Randi;” again I’m not in business here. But when ... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? “Double blind test are not practical for everybody in his OWN room with his OWN gear and his OWN listenings habits ..” I understand the practicalities of it. I actually do them. My brother had a great saying. “You don’t have to cut yourself to k... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Let me get to the point. I don’t trust anyone who claims to hear differences but are afraid to put their claims to a proper level matched ABX DBT. And so far you have dodged the question multiple times here. Anyone can claim to hear anything. And ... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? There are plenty of transparent SS amplifiers. |
