[quote user="haralanov"] It is certainly very very important, but how many systems you have listened where you can not be able to recognize the HFs as disconnected part of the sound? I just wanted to ask if you have ever heard a system, where the...

Romy,
I have been in "this" mood after listening to a system specifically tailored for absolute faithfulness to the recording. The clarity and resolution were such that even at low levels you could hear "all" sounds distinctly...a breathtakin...

[quote user="Doron"] So what can the layman who wants to enjoy digital do?Where would a normal guy get the raw files and how will he be able to play them?[/quote]
Well, I do not know but my bitching about the domination of the “mastered releas...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

Stressing Bass in my former post I would like do not overly accent the lower bass itself but rather an organic combination of bass with something that I would call “full body” sound.
It we look at many properly setups, loaded and amplified cartridge...

Keith,
it is not the thread about Lavry Gold DAC I would rather to hear from people who have experience with other Multibits, perhaps with many Multibits, and who would be able to generalize their observation about Multibits vs. anything else. I kn...

Hello, would it be possible for us to see the diagrams and schematics behind the Zarathustra II in the same spirit as the Melquiades was conceived, noting that the best of ideas are formed with the purest of sentiments?[quote]It is Dima’s and my stro...

[quote user="manisandher"] The latest firmware 'fixes' this issue. The AFI1 can now work in dual-wire mode at half or full audiorate clock frequencies. [/quote]
Very good. I am impressed with Daniel’s responsiveness. I wonder how many people ...

I think it is about right. The 6C33C for upper base has 100K
biasing resistor and 20K to ground in Lpad. That would make ~60Hz. This high
pass that unload the LF from the horns that it can’t handle is very important
as you do not want driver to pr...

T, ‘m glad to see you around. Your position is quite educational although not an unproblematic. I do not agree with some of the points you brought up (I mean that 103-is very low compliance cartridge - 5x10-6 cm/dyne (except D and M), disagree with ...

I do hate the colloquialism “Home Theater” but I do not think that another definition exists to define what it is. Whatever it is, I very much hate it. Back in 90s I had a quite refined “Home Theater” installation with 5.1 channels, quite sophisticat...

MQA stands for Master Quality Authenticated and is Meridian's answer to
delivering high resolution quality in a lossless compressed proprietary
format that squeezes down even 24/192 files to roughly the size of
CD-quality files.

This mystery that I would like to get answer….

A few years ago playing with my favorite Vitavox S2 driver I was asking myself how it might sound if instead of the Alnico magnet the electromagnets would be used. As many other driver of the period the Vitavox did not utilized the only one magnet ty...

Gentlemen,
I suppose it is time to defend my sterling reputation here. The EnABL process does in deed work across the full frequency band. Works on all driver types and permits the very qualities that Romy seems to appreciate in the treated Linneum ...

"Chesky Records is pleased to introduce the 192/24 series. These discs are not limited editions but one-to-one copies of our 192khz 24bit master discs. The discs contain standard 192khz 24bit .wav files that you can copy to your computer's ...

I got one of those Reference Recordings 176KHz files to try. Everyone so go rave about them…
I did not truly pursuit them before as whatever they have interesting musically was released before – how much you can listen the same 5 disks even i...

There was one of those PC Audio demo show in CA. The AA guy, John Swenson, when there, posted his comments

How do we hear?
A recent article examined the capacity of the optic nerve to process visual signals. Based on the number of neurons in the retina, etc., an estimate of less than a megabyte of information was found, which is surprisingly low. This...

I am kind of semi-evaluating a power amplifier now and think about the following: there is a correct relation between harmonic content of amplifier and it’s dynamic aptitude.
I have heard many amplifiers that run across the dynamic range with a tre...

[quote user="morricab"] Interesting test you have conducted. Were the responses mostly unflat near the frequency extremes or was there variations even in the midrange? The reason I ask is because if you look at most of the published curve...

Just got a Musical Fidelity V Link Asyncronus USB to Spif.

OK, thanks. I would leave for others to decide what the “higher resolution image” might mean. It might be some kind of untranslatable Japanese folklore. The more vibrant color palette is definably a valid accomplishment, no one knows through if it is...

[quote user="drdna"] This implies that it is up to the stereo equipment to determine the perception and perhaps there can be one ideal stereo system. While it is consistent with what is observed, it means that there is no human variation in listening...

I made first set of test with one PP2000 vs. two PP2000 driving my enter playback. All grounds were lifted on the load side. The presence of second PP2000 did not made sound bright as before, the second PP2000 sits sufficiently far from the first...
