Here is an excellent article in Positive Feedback by Dave Clark about the current options in the fields of Computer Audio
http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue41/ca_intro.htm
Dave interviewed 13 designers with surprisingly reasonable questions. I ...

The "Super
Mod"
The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be
'pull-able' ...

[quote user="Mark Donahue"]Mani, Yes, the files were created using the HDCD Model 1 AD converter and you will actually get improved audio if your DA converter properly decodes the HDCD (Even at 88.2 kHz /24 bit!) There is information about the filter...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reas...

Edgar, I completely miss you in all of your findings and I also was thinking about 15-in toy with a pair of sunspeak passive radiators. Indeed, Tannoys reinforced by sanspeak passive radiators is a magical configuration. I wonder do you dri...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

As I said: most debates on the subject that I ever heard so far are not accurate representation of Analog vs. Digital dilemma. The same as the discussion in this thread about the “natural continuous process”, the “discrete process” and the “brain re...

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

"The Shepherded” are the representatives of audio herd, among those, whom the audio industry “affected” the most.
The Shepherded audio person usually has reasonably well paid job and from reasonably to highly educated. He has some extra money and e...

Tomand, John is probably the last person who supports Bidat.
I think you can get Bidat from Meitner himself; I do not see he would be
keeping it as a secret. Typically, it is
not practicable to ask pro people to share schematic but Bidat is a cul...

The product range is unfortunately growing. I have seen quite a few recordings that I was interested but they were recorded in SACD and therefore were compromised by the format. I would not give a lot of credit to association between format and the m...

Over the years the home appliance division of Sharp Electronics Corporation was a leader in manufacturing microwave ovens. Millions American kitchens enjoyed Sharp microwaves and “nucleing” food almost become a part of our American identity. Still, t...

No mater how ridicules the title of this article sounds on my site but I was quite glad to see the in the May’s issues of Stereophile the Robert J. Reina review of Advent loudspeakers. I do not think that Advent’s review is a sign of some kind of sin...

It is astonishing: what “scooter” wrote in his “Ultra box” post above is what I would write myself.
Anyhow, Charlus when you wrote about “single DAC possessing virtues entirely harmonious with all three sources” then I very much understand wh...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

in NOS tube DACs like Audio Note DAC5 there is no brick wall filter. Some SS DACs like TAD, Bidat and EMM Labs have perfect time domain response, as you know Ed Meitne...

[quote
user="drdna"]I'm not at all suggesting the input coil topology be
changed, as this may actually have something to do with the "magic"
sound of the PurePower -- something like the special sound of Fender
single-coil pickups on a Stratocaste...

[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

I was asked a few days ago what I think about Zandèn new CD player and I replied that I do not think about it.
Truly, those companies produce new models each 18 month to initiate new rounds of cash extraction from clueless, deaf and blind audi...

Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

user="Wellington"] Sorry, but I have to tell you that you do have it
backwards on the skating forces. Just Google for a force diagram. Another way
