| Let's forget about being politically correct Asa, language is too imprecise to really express correctly or solve the problem you pose about being and the mind's existance. There is a point at which science has to solve the problem.Language and philosophy are not terribly good problem solvers... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Asa, I agree with your Nordost opinion. I ran Nordost QF for around 2 years, and did not make this realization until I tried other ICs. I do not think that I could state as eloquently as what you said about Nordost. I tend to describe the QF as ha... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Asa, my mind is open. I would wholly agree that the Supratek is a killer preamp. A local friend of mine got one recently (one of my tube friends). I love the piece, and it works well in his system. One day he will bring it down to my system. And, ... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct I am going to lift my imposed self ban on posting at Audiogon to respond to this thread.Saying that in general tube preamps are better than SS preamps to me really has no meaning. My example of this would be when I got my Ayre K-3x w/phono stage p... | |
| To add DAC or replace CDP? I would suggest trying a different AC cord on the Sony. My favorite is the Omega Mikro LCX active AC cord. But a Omega Mikro passive cord for 50% of the price of the OM active will probably make your CDP sound A LOT better. Omega Mikro (which is d... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? I never said that all people or even the average person can hear under 20hz or over 20khz. The scientist who came up with the redbook CD standard designed it to this criteria. I really wonder what the CD would sound like if it were designed from 1... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Listening to audio is about sensory perception and not about a scientific analysis. I did not say in my previous post that science should NOT be used in hi-end audio, but that it should NOT be the only means we judge anything. When the CD first ca... | |
| Detailed Look at Cary Audio 306/200 CD Player Hififred, what AC cord are you using on the Ayre? I have had both players. The Ayre is very AC cord sensative. My Ayre can sound absolutely divine to so-so depending on the AC cord on it. The Ayre has an amazing amount of dynamics. All it takes is... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? I find it funny when people proclaim that science is the only thing that really tells us anything about anything. They think that science is black and white, and that it can be bundled and bound in a nice little book or on a webpage. One of my und... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct My feeling it all depends on the entire system. Starting with the speakers. Some speakers are not going to be driven well with many tube amps. Some speakers are so sensitive they really do not reaquire serious solid state power. It all depends... ... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Redbeard, I have heard it many times over how much an AC cord makes on a transport or CDP or DAC. Read my reviews of AC cords here at Audiogon. 3 years ago I was skeptical like yourself. But now, I would swear on a stack ob Bibles now that I have ... | |
| Detailed Look at Cary Audio 306/200 CD Player One more thing... the glaring display on the unit is about as ugly as blue displays come (and I love blue lights and displays). The same with the overall aesthtics of the player. My theory is if you are going to design a $5k player, you should at ... | |
| Detailed Look at Cary Audio 306/200 CD Player I have cracked a Cary 306/200 before, and the build quality is first rate. My only problems with the unit are Cary's rather limited 1 year warranty. With such high build quality, why only warrant the product for 1 year? Another issue I had was get... | |
