| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD "@david_ten - If you like NOS PCM DAC designs (no DSD), I suggest you check out the Metrum Acoustics Adagio which is their top of the line. It incorporatesa unique volume control implementation which varies the operating voltage of the DAC rather ... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? Listening with just your ears does eliminate the effect of psychoacoustics quite plenty if you are totally blind, and you ask the in-store consultant not to tell you which one of the several amps, or preamps, or players, or cables, etc... in the... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? Really funny, I do nothing but blind listening, and have no problem hearing differences between components.... Yep, I listen only with my ears *Grins!*G. | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Weaponize graphene? In the high end audio industry? *Vigorously Scratching Head!*G. | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Oh... Like in "this here graphite thingie makes 'em 'lectrons go real goodly"?!Yeah, may be, but the word superconductor has a very precise meaning in physics.... And misuse of "superconductor" "graphene", and other such neo-trending words in mark... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene There is no such thing as a room-temperature superconductor.... As far as I know, the highest temperature superconductors created this far require to be cooled at the temperature of liquid Nitrogen... Beware of extraordinary claims!G. | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Graphene is not a mono-molecule layer of carbon... It is instead a mono-atomic layer of carbon, arranged in a hexagonal latice... There are no molecules per se in graphene, but the entire graphene sheet or micro-sheet, be it bound to a substrate o... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Hello Geoff, the problem of using graphene as a material for uber-strong composits is -- at least for the moment -- the ubercost and low feasibility of creating long fibers in bulk/industrial quantities.... Typically, structural composites are for... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene eYes, a mono atomic layer of graphene is stronger than a monoatomic layer of Iron doped with carbon... And so is a thread of a spiderweb.... However, we go through spiderwebs without ever feeling them.Besides, how does this superior tensil strengt... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene It's no so much how he builds some parts of his cables using graphene, but why.... And is he using proper graphene two-dimensional crystal latice, or much more readily available and inexpensive bulk graphite powder instead? Graphene is constituted... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello @viber6.... I have auditioned Boulder 2060 at length a few times. It is not a good example of accurate/neutral amp. To my ears, its tone is instead wan, blanched, and sterile, rather than neutral and accurate. WC's impression of it matches m... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Just logged on... Watching out for nube self-appointed zampolitiks.... Ah, me thinks I just found one who returned to frolick and splash with abandon around this fine audiophilic watering hole *grins!*G. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Ah yes dguitarnut, I shall never deny that I hold preferences for a small handful of brands that I am intimately familiar with.... Nor do I apologize for not being apologetic about it.While I will never assert that what I like is "the best", I wil... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Ahem, "Black helicopters", anyone? *Grins! | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Viber, Merrill Element series are not based on NCore technology. Their class D output stage is entirelly designed by Merrill. The older Merrill Veritas instead, is based on NCore NC1200 modules. BTW, my review of Element 118 or 116 is purely hypot... |
