| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @djones51 I've yet to listen to a component that measured well and sounded bad, Measurements, presumably, are objective. How "good" something sounds is highly subjective and furthermore, susceptible to a host of variables. | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jssmith "What if there are two dozen cars that go fast, handle great, and stop good? You gonna waste your time test driving all of them? " Nope-- I read pro and user reviews to get an idea of various DACs' sonic profiles then based on that, I ... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jssmith Why not simply take the car for a test drive? | |
| Jays Audio cdt2 mk3 burn in and user experiences @chuckie My Jay's is still breaking in. After roughly 200 hours, it sounds smooth, not clinical but it doesn't sound tonally "rich", as some users have reported. Perhaps that will still occur. One change it's brought that's not welcome is vocal... | |
| Hegel or a Modwright The Hegel is a great amp but if the tube sound is what you crave, the Hegel is not going to scratch that itch. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b That's reassuring. I'll seriously consider the dbx option, then. Thanks. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b Thanks for your response. I don't have any pro audio expertise so I'm not sure what sort of learning curve might be involved were I to get a dbx unit. Have to look into that. The price is certainly appealing, though and I've had good exp... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b I'm curious why you went with dbx rather than say, one of the Schiit eqs. I'm contemplating moving up to Schiit's top of the line Loki Max but perhaps I ought to consider dbx as well. Which model did you buy? | |
| Anyone catch 7 Myths of Digital at AXPONA? I thought Mojo was owned by Benjamin Zwickle. Who is Arjuna Das? | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan @roxy54 Dylan's discography speaks for itself. | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan @roxy54 "It was annoying to see him receive a Nobel prize for poetry when, in my opinion, Joni Mitchell would have been far more deserving. I think overrated is an understatement when it comes to Dylan." We all have our own tastes. Joni Mitchel... | |
| QStab NSE CD Stabilizer/ Highly Recommended for Jay's/Avatar CD Transport! @wig Thanks. "No going back" sounds pretty tempting! | |
| Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae @larsman 👍 | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @chuckie1970 I ended up upgrading my transport to the Jay's and as a result, will need to wait awhile before I can afford the Loki Max. Let us know how the two get along in your system. | |
| Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae @tylermunns Thanks for the clarification. I feel the same way about “Sheer technical proficiency". The guitarists you mention and their ilk have never appealed to me because they fail to engage me emotionally. I find watching them more akin to... |
