[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Did you try to listen and did detect sonic benefits from slaving your PC interface from you DAC? The Cat[/quote]Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. Th...

Well, I did not mean to express any specific attitude to Bottlehead people - the only experience I had to them was a few years ago visiting their meeting right here in Boston (I did not know what Bottlehead wa all about at that time). The meeting was...

[quote user="Gregm"] Roman notes:
The industry/trend/fashion goes towards "the more aggressive compliance with those sonic sliceing-choping…".
Yes, BUT I don't see this as a design trend. Manufactueres don't target that sound -- but rather a...

Hi Thorsten,
I understand what you are saying and with regard to the particular preamp in question and you may well be right as there is no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). I am curi...

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....

Romy,
from my understanding, this disc called HDAD, contains on one side a DVD-Video resolution, 96/24 and on the other side a DVD-A i.e 192/24 resolution. So the disc on one side can be played in your regular DVD player and the other in ...

I do not regularly buy High Resolution files and most of my High Resolution files are my own FM recordings or something that was given to me by other people. I bought no more two dozens of Hi-Res files in past and it was about it. I do not active...

Andy, is conical shape and the flange around the moth is just the rational for cheap manufacturing? When a horn acts s a transducer the flange is not a positive thing… It would be very interesting how you select horns characteristics for your microph...

Paul, harmonic balance and frequency response are different things. We presume that if s playback has right (acoustic-like) harmonic balance them, only then, we can talk a bout sane frequency response. Do an experiment. Take your ML2 and load your sp...

I found many reports on SHM-CD sound on Japanese blog sites. Most of them comment very favorably on SHM-CD, clear, better resolution, livelier, etc. Some mentions different balance compared to the CD version, many comments SHM-CD sou...

I made an experiment a few weeks ago. I took 5 cartridges that I know very well and that have thier distinctive “signature” sound signatures. I loaded my corrector into my 49K 1/12Octave, 0.25dB resolution Real-Time Spectral Analyzer and ran the inve...
