| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? "As a bit of a tip: its probably not a good idea to talk about 'distortion-less' in the way that you do, it strains credulity."~~~~~~~Yes, straining credulity is my job. I hate it when people touch my stuff. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Most importantly, anyone who has actually taken a look at Randi’s challenge..and done so with the trained eyes of a statistician or person who designs rigorous scientific testing regimens.. that person soon finds out that his tests do not follow a... | |
| Parasound A-23 or Parasound HCA 2200 The dead cap issue is tied to thermal and electrical stressing and some amps are anomalies that only appear over time. EG, I’ve got more than a few 30-40+ year old amps where the main filter caps measure and look fine. that is usually the rule, bu... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? Importantly, people are singular human beings, and their time is limited. They have to work, not just communicate.Different mental states take time to switch between and doing so constantly is stressful....and time consuming on it’s own. When I (K... | |
| Parasound A-23 or Parasound HCA 2200 Depending on age and use, both of them might need to be recapped. If the A23 is near the start of the production run, ie, 2003 is the date code on the one I’ve got floating round here, and it needed new main filter caps. Nothing unusual there, it ... | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come Quincy Jones spent a month, apparently, just on the drum/bass track(s) of the one song we speak of. So it’s definitely a ’studio’ production. | |
| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters Yes, the PCM63-k is a 20 bit ladder or r-2-r dac.my day to day streaming dac has a pair of PCM1702 dac chips, of similar design and spec. Although almost every single part other than the dac chips has been changed. Very non-stock. For 16/44 it wou... | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come And then...there is the estimated 8000-10000 songs that ’Sly ’N Robbie’ have played on. If you want groove...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_and_Robbie’Love is the Drug’, Grace Jones, is an example of Sly n Robbie’s playing skills. That pair mad... | |
| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters Snatch and grab time, I gave you the keys to the kingdom.Other than one of these dacs in that list (the correct Dac or player), you'll have to go to multi-bit discrete to beat them. Which start at over $10k, except for the ones from china. and the... | |

| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come Dynamically, the song Bille Jean is a tour de force of dynamic range and punch. All one needs is a decent vinyl pressing and a system that can show it.However, it is overplayed and nearly illegal, like ’Stairway to Heaven’. Right up there with the... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Why double down when you can octuple down, is what it seems to be.This has moved from science to psychology, and not in a good way. | |
| Man this is frustrating Context is good. Learned perspective is good. DIY is encouraged. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Not really shardorne, it’s a bullcrap statement.The test has to take place in a system familiar and local to the person committed to being the hearing test component. meaning their own system and one single change, and no pile of people standing a... |
