| Tubes getting hard to come by? With NOS, this is simply law of supply and demand. There is a finite supply and continuing depletion of that finite supply over time. There will come a day when NOS will cease to exist, I can't predict the day. I assume the larger stashes from cl... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Well, deludedaudiophiles stated the divide quite clearly and repeatedly, the measurement crowd doesn't believe we can trust in our individual sensory perceptions to make best decisions. Ok, certainly our sensory perceptions can fool us, but do... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @atmasphere When I'm speaking of accuracy and it's association with color, I'm thinking about two components that measure exactly the same in every measurement undertaken. Now lets say those measurements are such that one was deemed to be an accur... | |
| Why Does My Current Music Sound So Much Better than It Did in the 80’s? I have a pretty good stash of 80's and 90's vinyl and previously owned many cd's from same era. While much of the vinyl is pretty bad, overly compressed and electronic haze, the cd's are absolutely atrocious, have all the vinyl liabilities, then a... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. And so we have a post in regard to the truth of colored recordings, no doubt this true. So let's say we have a recording to the sterile side of spectrum, played back on cooler sounding system would maintain it's position on spectrum. The same rec... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I always hear this color issue from the measurement objectivists, they use the term accuracy as if it has no color. What proof do they have that accuracy has no color? Yes, measurements have correlations to qualities of sound reproduction, but our... | |
| can Line Magnetic 210ia work in US? That Line Magnetic marketed to China domestic market, they run 50hz, we run 60hz. Also, even if you run on 240v, 20v over voltage, I wouldn't do it. This idea has been brought up before on AG. On top of voltage/hz issue there is warranty and serv... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. And so, I'm told to rely on measurements, both my SET amps total failures based on high even order distortion. And then we have my SMSL amp I use for burn in purposes. I have no doubt the SMSL measures better than both SET amps, so is the vastly i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 Looking forward to your impressions. I used the Cardas usb for some time, my present AQ Diamond bettered it by large margin. I've also tried various cat config generics,various AQ, Supra, Wireworld Platinum. USB cables make a difference. ... | |
| The past meets the future I really enjoy both mediums, the problem with that is expenditure goes up in great measure, I don't doubt a commensurate amount to equalize sound quality. Unlike Ghdprentice, my analog has a way to go to catch up to digital. Greatest liability... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I don't doubt I2S preference is valid by some, usb has some inherent liabilities and even more in it's implementation. I2S is what it is, every dac on par using this input, the variables would be DDC and cable used. USB requires optimal implementa... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well, for myself the issue is settled since I'm now totally committed to optical since hearing it's clear benefits vs. ethernet. The only way I'll ever directly connect a server to dac is if it had optical out to streamer/dac with optical in. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton I'm rather suspect in regard to usb implementation on N20, not much info on that in their literature. I suspect coming directly off motherboard with some unclear optimization. Also, what usb cables did you use? Also, its been my ex... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. This is not magic nor am I trying to insist my reference for sound quality is an objective reference. I am very mindful of my own unique sensory perception, biases, preferences, and I allow others those same considerations. I simply don't understa... | |
| Why Does My Current Music Sound So Much Better than It Did in the 80’s? Yep, mostly digital recording and playback innovations, 80's digital was atrocious. |
