| BEST CD TRANSPORT A further mention of Esoteric. The only pure transport Esoteric now make is the Grandioso, now with the Atlas transport mechanism which replaces the previous VRDS Neo. Unfortunately Esoteric no longer supply OEM transports which means that compani... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @ieales. I am a recording engineer. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? +1 Nonoise. @donavabdear. I agree with a lot of what you say about Al Schmitt’s recordings - which are superb. However, I disagree with your "bottleneck" comment. You miss the point that the engineer doesn’t just listen to what’s being recorded v... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @hilde45, being involved in the hi fi industry business as well as the recording, The term High Fidelity from my perspective means being faithful to the original recording i.e. being able to reproduce it as accurately as possible. I have to say t... | |
| Why 432hz Tuning? The standard for tuning in western music has evolved over centuries. A440 is now regarded as the reference pitch. However, not all recordings will necessary conform to that, especially those from the analogue era when producers sometimes used vari... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear. At the risk of flogging a dead horse, the point is that one is aiming to retrieve the information which is already there and not to add information which is not present in the recording. Thanks for re-presenting your propositions. T... | |
| Appropriate Apple table for Roon Just for completeness, you can also run the Roon app on a laptop. I find this much more convenient than a tablet as battery life is much better on the laptop. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? " donavabdear 320 posts 06-02-2023 at 06:30pm If you understand the principle that the original recording can't be made any better (you can't add information) to the signal then audiophiles should know that no recording studio use... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? In further follow up to the robbydouglas2 post, I also love these kinds of declamatory statements like: "My system sounds amazing. Most people that have listened to it have never heard anything better." Statements like this are utterly pointless s... | |
| Turntable recommendation @op, the best solution is to buy worn out records cheaply and look at the LP artwork and sleevenotes while streaming. I'm only being slightly facetious. A small collection of LPs is going to cost north of €1,000 and a decent vinyl source will cost... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? +1 rbstehno Following on from the previous post, it's amusing that the people who claim cables don't matter are generally using cheap cables. | |
| best SACD player The Technics SL-G700 is a fine player that also has streaming capability. Its build quality is among the best I've seen. There is a newer M2 generation recently introduced that has replaced the former AKM converters with ESS converters - possibly ... | |
| Does It Hurt.... @op - if that's the use for the amp, then you are fine as you are. In fact, chances are that your receiver's power amp sections share the same power supply. That being the case, if you are only loading two of the channels, those channels will prob... | |
| Does It Hurt.... If you are not going to use the redundant channels you would do better selling the receiver and getting a proper two channel amp. | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @op Try to hear a pair of Wilson Sabrina X's with some quality amplification and source (CD/Streaming/analogue of your choice) as a starting point. If organic is your criterion but you need power for the kind of music you listen to, probably a tr... |
