Burning question regarding upgrading paths
Hey Gunbei,Great response! It is indeed my wish to partake in a journey. First, in regards to Mes' response, I have no idea what "dlr" means. However, as Gunbei pointed out, Mu is the concept of emptiness, according to the Dogan school, I think. I... 
Burning question regarding upgrading paths
Hey Tom, I didn't think you were bashing my system at all. In fact, I think the your suggestion of the EVS is a practical step up since the EVS isn't expensive and suits my system's configuration to a T. If there is any reason for me sounding as i... 
What is the best digital cable?
Hey Dekay, My experience with mapleshade is this; sounds terrific if you can stand the hum. My speakers had hum and static when I had the Ultrathin and used it between amp and pre. Now I've went back to the AQ emeralds. So, as an experiment, I plu... 
What's the use of 20 and 24 bit DACs with CDs?
I remember when Primare first came out with the 24 bit CD player. The dealer sure made a big deal about it. I think his words were "higher resolution" and "more detail." At the time it made sense to me. I thought if a video source can benefit from... 
How did U get into this expensive hobby?
"Expensive" is a relative term, so I am not sure I qualify to leave a post here. But since I can't sleep again, here goes. It all started when I was 3. I never had baby sitters. I was often home alone. My father worked late, and my mom and older s... 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Morten Harket and Chet Baker, respectively. I swear there is no voice better than Morten's. He's the lead singer for A-Ha. Yes, that stupid pop band, but his solo album is the best. Sad to say, he's gotten old, and so has his voice. But at his bes...

Burning question regarding upgrading paths
Really, those EVS are really ugly. It looks like those 10 year old PS Audio dacs with a white dove on the front face that looks like something that is out of the 60's. Maybe I can glue on a Sonic Frontier face plate to the front of the EVS chasis.... 
Burning question regarding upgrading paths
Hey there,My summary is this:1) People here love EVS Millennium and hate my system! I checked out EVS a few months ago on the tweakaudio website. This website gives more tips on tweaks than anyone actually needs. Regarinding what I learned about t... 
I don't remember much, but I remember......
My first LP was some disney thing when i was 3. I think it was donald duck travel around the world. My first CD is New Order's Technique back in 89. 
Help with Meridian 518
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I've done just aobut everything I can with the current equipment I have on hand to try to hear the subtle differences between the dithers and wordlengths. Even thought the differences were obvious in another syst... 
Help with Meridian 518
Hey Richard, Thanks for being very informative!!I checked the version of software on the 518, and I've got the older version, 1.14. I doubt the older version would penalize the audio performance?I've already have designated the 518 as a Type 0. It... 
Mapleshade Clearview Ultrathin Interconnects
I have 2 pairs of ultrathins and a powercord. I love the way the ultrathins sound. They sound very very natural, very unlike any cable i've listened to before (kinda weird saying i am listening to cables). However, I can't removed the buzzing soun...

Hey Richard,Believe it or not, I don't hear anything different when switching between preemph and no preemph. And, yes, my dac, the sigma, is deemphed...Hey Sarah, You bet I read my manual inside and out after my beloved 518 is not harnessing its ...
