| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Fplanner2000, I'm sorry but I don't think you are 60% broken in. I have over a thousand and just experienced a big improvement, that I initially thought was on a preamp I'm using. When I went back to my old preamp I discovered that it too had grea... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Gbmcleod, I will have to put the Power Supply Chip on the main cable rather than the box. This is difficult as the breaker box is in my wife's closet. I have a copy of Master Handbook of Acoustics and had built 14 of the 16" deep diffusors. I have... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Koplo, you said, 'no analogs at all, even at the loudspeakers' terminals.' Without 256 independently driven small drivers, how can you have digital to a speaker?If you play the music from the hard drive into memory before playback, how would SSDs ... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Geoffkait, the WA Quantum Chips remind me of Acoustic Revive jade tweaks. Since there is no real theory for why they work, everything is trial and error. I think their effects vary greatly as does their breakin period. My most extensive experience... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Gbmcleod, tweaks are a real crapshoot. Trial and error is all we have going for us. I put a Syn. Res. Quantum fuse in a new preamp and was amazed. Then the next day it was better, as on the third day. I got suspicious and took it out. It was not a... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Rauliruegas, duh! | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Rauliruegas, you sound like you are urging the scientific method and embracing your personal research. Science accepts no "experts" or "authorities." Without substantiations with data from "your research" you have no grounds to stand on. I suspect... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Mapman, well, I well remember visiting a physician's home where he showed me a mass of name brand equipment all on display in his living room. After a while, I asked if I could hear it. He said that he didn't have time to get it up and working. Se... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Rauliruegas, if anything is heavily manipulated it is digital with many groups never in the presence of each other, with limiting, with artificial reverb, etc.The reality is that this discussion is irrelevant to most of us. If we like something th... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Mapman, don't assume that digital is better. Remember it is just math that converts 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz. There is rounding error. Every transformation other than in even jumps, is subject to errors just in the math. Converting from USB to SP Dif is... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Csontos, well it is great to be able to hear stellar performances from the past with great realism. I just heard Nnenna Freelon from about ten feet away from her. The performance was heavily amplified, however. She was great, but so was her Live r... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Rauliruegas, "From this point of view a long tonearm against a shortest one is in clear disadvantage because can't " respond " to the cartridge tracking movements as fast as the shortest one." I think you are referring to the great mass of the lon... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Budt, I do. It is very good and its Wavefront Timing Control allows dialing in a very realistic image. The only problem is that they were very under capitalized and have all but out of business. I am a long time friend of Roger Paul and I cannot r... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Lohanimal, you said, "One of the real problems of neutrality replicating the illusion is that I cannot recall last attending an un-amplified live performance in music, and trust me, I have tried very hard to do this, so I for one and truly denied ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Rauliruegas, I have seen the data of tracking error and nevertheless find the Ikeda long arm sounds much better than the short arm. I would prefer a straightline tracking arm and perhaps the pivoting tracking error arms will become more affordable... |
