Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
@dlcockrum I see you are now following and contradicting or poking fun at my every post on almost every thread. Thank you for the attention, I am flattered! You really have a great sense of humor. I shall try listening to my toes tonight! 
Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
@janehamble I am sure your equipment is among the very best available. I am happy for you that the sound changes dramatically between one digital cable and another as that is a wonderful result and must be encouraging if you were not happy at firs... 
DAC purchase:new or used?
Get a Meridian Explorer 2 and a trial subscription to Roon and Tidal. All for well under $1000. Enjoy Tidal huge catalog of high resolution files and even decode their fancy MQA.Burn-in? Huh? What Burn-in? Forget about that issue. 
Help for an Old School Audiophile
Get the free trial of both Roon and Tidal. You will be amazed. Roon will seamlessly play your iTunes stuff as well as FLAC and Tidal. You will need to burn your CD  collection to your hardrive. 
George Harrison - It Don't Come Easy & While My Guitar Gently Weeps - acoustic
Here Comes the Sun is a great crossover song. George used classic Indian rhythms that he picked up from Ravi and made a pop song with a fantastic hook in the bridge. 
Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ!
@gpgr4blu I think you are the one being impolite here. This thread was about a good audition experience at Audiotroy's store. All too often I have been ignored in high end stores and I was made to feel like it was a big imposition to get a demo. S... 
Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
@itzhak1969 Absolutely there is a correlation. However it is opposite of what you state. Well designed equipment should reject extraneous parasitic noise and minimize distortion from ordinary bits of wire. Badly designed and faulty equipment will... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Wow. Morphic fields! I cant believe how these threads just go completely into fantasy land. It seems like some Audiogoners are just intent on obfuscation.Early on I point out that Benchmark has produced the worlds best performing (as measured) pow... 
Greatest Rock Drummers
@jafant+1 Stan LynchVery tasty drumming with a great groove. As a supporting vocalist he was fantastic too. It took TWO musicians to replace him - Steve Ferrone and Scott Thurston - both tremendously talented musicians themselves. 
thread for PMC owners
Wow. I would have expected more responses. PMC three way design with their Volt 3 inch dome is very similar to ATC three ways. The Volt dome is a clone of the ATC mid range but with a less powerful motor and less useable bandwidth than ATC. The Vo... 
Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
@jea48 Yes clock jitter is inherent in cables. The discovery by Stereophile was perhaps surprising in its day but everyone understands it today. This is why you need good equipment that is totally immune to inherent clock jitter on ALL the cables ... 
Digital Music sounds too bright?
Just be aware that most speakers radiate only forwards above about 300Hz. So what is between and behind speakers will be third or fourth reflection points in most cases. Side walls, ceiling and floor in front of speakers and between speakers and t... 
Best wishes for Tom Petty
It is official he has died. RIP one of greatest story tellers and song writers of our time. His songs had such a healing effect, I don't know of any lyricist that I like better. 
Digital Music sounds too bright?
For brightness it is much more important to cover surfaces that are first reflection points. If the TV is behind your speakers there is no big effect.
