| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? @sean_heis1 If you find outstanding (better than anything else on the market or ever mass produced) measured performance to be a meaningless achievement then how do you propose to measure what you find important? I would put it to you and everyone... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? @sean_heis1 Musicality is a meaningless term that can’t be measured. Improvements like SNR, channel separation, THD+N, and power into various loads are measurable.This amp does not use negative feedback to achieve improved performance over competi... | |
| Dual AES EBU - a near future use, or a bit before its time Technically there is no advantage to DSD. If it sounds different then all the processing and hefty filtering to eliminate excessive high frequency noise (inherent in DSD) may be part of the reason. Higher sample rates can help eliminate DAC non-li... | |

| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters @kost_amojan. Well it should be easy for you to show me a link to a Stereophile or other measurement plot of a JM Labs high end speaker that does not have a bass boost, bass bump or hump?You should be looking for a flat response that gently rolls... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters ULF Bass is the most difficult to reproduce accurately. 99% of what is available is reflex extended resonant bass - B&W, Wilson, JM Labs and all the major audiophile brands do it. Most boutique brands do it too. You can easily identify this by... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Because Amplifier manufacturers haven't got a clue - if only they knew that amplifier design and sound has nothing to do with the audio signal and related components and everything to do with the 1cm of fuse wire on the mains input. /Sarc off | |

| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? No - the future is already clear. The new switched Mode Power Supplies are reducing 60Hz hum and lowering noise floors further than ever before imagined with a linear power supply.Look at the specs on a Benchmark ABH2! Can anyone find an amp with ... | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing Check out Robin S Luv 4 Luv - heavy bass on this track - some serious subsonic stuff going on which you can only sense from room compression. Ben Liebrand or Garage Trance mixes are the heaviest versions. | |
| MQA vs. ripped vs. vinyl vs. hi res The Deluxe Led Zeppelin series on Masters is the best I have Zeppelin - drums are much clearer than other versions. | |

| What is the most common cause of dropouts when streaming Tidal? I don’t know but I can report what I have found. Tidal app running on MAC Mini 1.7Ghz i7 dual core 8Gb RAM - dropouts rare but crashes daily even when not playing. Possibly not Tidal issue as iTunes used to crash too. (I suspect memory leak perhap... |
