| ps audio perfect wave transport Almost forgot some other issues I have with this transport. First of all you need a DAC that inputs high resolution data, and then you need HDMI input to attain lowest jitter (seperate word clock data). I see this product as a dedicated transport ... | |
| ps audio perfect wave transport I really don't see the value of this transport, other than being able to play high resolution DVDs and lower jitter CD to DAC. I think I would rather have a USB DAC. Isn't the real future of digital something like an audiphile computer? For us com... | |
| So Much "Harshness" I do think today's higher resolution equipment plays a large role in the epidemic of harshness. I don't recall hearing this kind of harshness in systems years ago. Higher resolution is quite often obtained by boosting upper mid and high frequencie... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord I just checked out your amp, not familiar with it previously. It appears to use Wima and Muse electrolytic caps, those are good electrolytics, sill not up to good film caps. Wyred 4 Sound (Cullen circuits) does mods, check with them for possible u... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Tvad has the ratings correct. Funny you should mention image sharpness and ambience. I recently replaced the MIT PPMFX capacitors in my Joule Electra preamp with Jantzen Z-Superior caps. While I am hearing improvements in all sonic parameters, ima... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? I also took my money out of stocks and invested in gold about 3 years ago, this based on advice of economists predicting this very debacle. It was so easy to see, any of these financial service wizards could have told you if they had the guts. Alw... | |
| I am sick of cables In regard to people hearing differences in a false double blind test.There is no doubt the placebo effect affects some people some of the time. However, in the long term, those taking the placebo may suffer needlessly, just as the guy listening to... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord The Dominus is relaxed for sure, laid back, I'm not sure what you mean by that term, I think of laid back and relaxed as the same thing. If you mean laid back soundstaging, I would say a neutral depth of soundstage. I would pull the Oyaides for su... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Some good points Andr. I agree there sometimes is too much model turnover, and I don't doubt much of it is market driven. Still, rapid model turnover can be of benefit to the listeners, real sonic improvements are often realized over time, model t... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord While I still think finding one cable that is both maximally focused and detailed and consequently maximally warm and laid back an impossibility (this would be the perfect cable!), I do think you can achieve this system wide. A cable may be able t... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster with Super Platter Come on Stingreen and Cerrot, give us details about the sonic improvements wrought by the Super Platter, I've thought about getting one as well. Is is the most cost effective VPI upgrade, and if not, which VPI upgrades are best bang for buck and/o... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord I agree with MrTennis, I don't know how you can get warm and laid back combined with hi resolution and focus. I've never heard the combo (at least to the highest degree) in any cable I've ever tried. Now, if you're willing to compromise on hi reso... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Every response thus far has had at least a grain of truth in it.As for gvt. spending, gvt. spending has in truth gottten us out of depression, WWII, the biggest gvt. spending program in the history of the world, 42-44% of GDP, depending on whose s... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Predictions are always difficult. Having said that, I think there will always be a high end, wealthy consumers will always exist. Big ticket items also have higher margins than the lower priced spread, they can lower the prices, continue to make a... | |
| MintLP/Dynavector 17D3 question My eyes not so hot either. I found laying a white light mini flashlight down on the platter, pointing at stylus helped greatly. |
