| Break in period Atmasphere, Shadorne, are you saying IOW that you hear changes but you attribute them to yourself rather than the gear? Often yes. Depending on the last time I had a cold the changes can be significant. Most often it is the result of focusing on s... | |
| Break in period Guidocorona,I gave you a few brand names of a few consistent sounding, respected engineering and manufacturing firms (mass produced) that are well known reliable products. If, as you say yourself, your gear changes response or requires an extensiv... | |
| Break in period Yamaha, Sony, Denon, Pioneer.....do these guys use the same quality parts as say ARC? They make designs mostly using transistors. The pre-amp you refer to uses tubes. The quality of the individual parts cannot be directly compared as the designs ... | |
| Break in period Perhaps you would care to enlighten us with just 5 or 10 of the most well known and respected examples. If I gave you well known names from respected engineering and manufacturering bands like Sony, Denon, Pioneer, and Yamaha would this help? Sin... | |
| Break in period could you tell us what you mean by 'quality of components' Obviously there are many things that define quality and this may differ from person to person as to what they are looking for (THD+N, TIM, Channel Separation, power, headroom, etc.). I si... | |

| CD Read Errors--Rare? It depends. There are a lot of effects going on. Nerve bundles in the ear fire slowly - less than 4 Khz. So one individual error may or may not be audible depending on when it occurred. Of course many errors would audible. | |
| DSP'ing a CD It is possible. What you describe is what mathematicians call a deconvolution filter...you apply a filter to the signal so that what you get back is only the original signal. Think of what you hear as the original signal convolved with the respons... | |
| DVD music concerts Dave,Thanks. I saw your post and I decided I must have "Lightning in a Bottle" - you convinced me. It is one of the 50% on this thread so far that I don't have, and it really caught my interest.I also have Dirty Dozen Brass Band: Down & Dirty ... | |
| Cables that cost more than the speakers? You know what's way stranger is $12,000 speakers and cable that costs a few hundred dollars, that's not strange that's dumb. A speaker cannot reveal detail and resolution that is not there because the cable isn't capable of letting it through. By... | |
| Break in period Break-in has nothing to do with the quality of components I have nothing more I can say to those who claim dramatic audible break-in changes, which can drive people nearly nuts, have nothing to do with the design "quality" of components; I beg to... | |
| DVD music concerts I played last night again; BEP Black Eyed Peas - Live from Sydney to Vegas (Sydney has amazingly good sound for a concert, Vegas sucks!).I compared it to Pulse ( a highly rated DVD in these and many threads ). While I prefer the music of Pink Floy... | |
| Seeking opinions on PMC IB2 Congrats those IB2's are great speakers.I would go 20" stands and a good powerful SS amp. Good luck! | |
| DVD music concerts Wow six recommendations for Gilmour/Waters/Pink Floyd DVD's...all done by James Guthrie.Either this is age related (Floyd peak period fan effect) or James Guthrie has indeed become a great surround mix/mastering engineer, as indicated by the audio... | |
| Break in period Guidocorona, laudable belief. Unfortunately reality is impervious to our wishes, beliefs, opinions or otherwise. Things either are or are not, regardless of what we believe they 'should' truly be IMHO, in reality, one can select high quality elect... |
