| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Great to have you back! | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix Paul McGowan: "What is PRaT and do the British do it Better?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGgMpX3XII FWIW, he says, regarding pace, rhythm and timing, "I think it’s one of those things that, if you haven’t ever experienced them, it’... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix No. I do not. A system either plays music the way I perceive it or it does not. Well, that’s pretty definitive! Considering the fact that you are a drummer and (I presume) very familiar with how rhythms "feel" in your body, I don’t feel... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix One question: do you experience some systems as more rhythmically engaging than others? | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. I haven’t found heavy, lined drapes make any difference although I haven’t tried the "ripple fold" variety. Synergistic Research sell small "room tuning" devices called HFT’s that could perhaps be utilized. Pretty sure you can return them if boug... | |
| Six DAC Comparison I guess, re: Jazz, that would be "best of three worlds". . . rhythm, melody. harmony. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @soix I know some people who are big into PRaT and I confess I just don’t get it. Give me tonality and a good 3D soundstage and I’m a happy camper, so this toe-tapping PRaT thing is just totally lost on me if someone here can actually explain i... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mrdon “if you find yourself tapping your foot and bobbing your head to the tune,” your ahead of the game and chances are your DAC is performing well enough to make you happy. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, there's a lot more to ... | |
| New Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2’s What can you say about the tonality? | |
| Who has heard the Wyred4sound 10th Anniversary DAC? @bill_peloquin FWIW: https://6moons.com/audioreviews2/wyred6/4.html https://darko.audio/2017/12/wyred-4-sound-dac2v2se-10th-anniversary-review/ https://www.thesoundadvocate.com/2020/09/review-wyred-4-sound-dac2v2se-10th-anniversary/ | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? @g2the2nd When I listen to speakers or components that are described as "detailed". I usually find them to be "bright". I like a balanced response and if there is an emphasis, I prefer a little more mid-bass. Perhaps it's just that the gear y... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? just noticed, the OP is from 2004… by now the OP’s wife must have played quite a few guitars…lol. D'oh ! | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC In my experience, a better transport will simply extract more data from the disc. How much improvement YOU will hear, I can’t say. Consider the fact that the transport is first in the chain. With DACs, the sky’s the limit. The good news is that ... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? @rlb61 I can relate to your enjoyment of hi-end acoustics. I have a Boucher BG52GM, which I prefer to Martins as it is still warm but clearer in the bass without emasculating the bass like so many guitar makers do who describe their instruments ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @soix From my perspective, your rant is thoroughly justified! |
