Stillpoint ERS Paper Question
I would ditto, Sns. All of mine now sits on the shelf. If you don't like the pace and dynamics of music, ERS is for you. 
Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?
Lkdog, if someone did indeed sell a Reimyo because he preferred the TRL, I would say that I am shocked. Knowing what I do about the chip, transport, and sophicated circuit within the Reimyo, there would have to be something revolutionary within th... 
Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?
Jes45, certainly in the case of linestages and amps, I would agree. I don't recall what additional circuits you are talking about, but most mods of players don't add circuits, they improve parts in power supplies or circuits, stiffen power supplie... 
Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?
I wonder if Cwlondon even monitors this less than constructive discussion of the trl unit. Anytime you entertain a discussion of best buy in a component, one is opening a can of worms. Excellent sound is difficult enough to get agreement on and on... 
Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?
Having spend time in both the VMPS and APL rooms, I would have to say that Alex had the best sound. Of course, there are many differences other than the players.

NONE OF THE ABOVE! 
Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?
Cwlondon, I don't know what to make of your statement that you are listening less to digital now and mainly from your PC. Is it because you only are listening to your PC that you are now listening less to digital? If so, stop doing that.While the ... 
A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows
Twilo, I saw the TADs but given the sound and my previous experiences with the Model Ones, I did not bother to go into the room. I wish they had not abandoned high efficiency designs. 
A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows
I posted several comments elsewhere that focused on speakers.I thought the sound, as usual, was best at THE Show. I heard four speakers that impressed me. First the Zen Acoustics little guys with the Red Dragon switching amp. Second the Tonian $15... 
Any member feedback from C.E.S. 2006?
I thought the sound, as usual, was best at THE Show. I heard four speakers that impressed me. First the Zen Acoustics little guys with the Red Dragon switching amp. Second the Tonian $1500 speakers which have to be the best buy for the money. Thir... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
Despite someone who claims to be knowledgeable about research methods, you seem woefully insensitive to the need for your measures to validly assess the theoretical concept for which they are supposed to measure. I stead you make very unscientific... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
As I have said before too many times, were DBTs that were not same or different tasks used and to show no differences, many who viewed this as science would be inclined to accept this as a valid measure of sounding different and better. Same or di... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
You said,"As you said, what does it matter to you if scientists say your cables are indistinguishable from zipcord?" I would take that to mean that you meant this.I merely would state that I and many others reject that DBT validly assesses sonic d... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
Pabelson, I do wish it would die, but you continue to misrepresent what science is and who best represents it. There is no evidence anywhere, including with your sacred, DBTesting, that demonstrates given evidence that cables don't sound different... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
What is laughable in the Psych. Dept. is not authoritative. Data has to be presented to justify that DBT validly assesses sound differences among components. DBT lacks face validity as most can hear differences. You, sir, are the one guilty of sci...
