When is digital going to get the soul of music?

First, I heard a cd by Connie Dover,"Last Night by the River" at Ori's, of Oritek Audio, house that was listenable to me.

I guess this would explain the 15+ posts you've made proclaiming the Oritek X-2 as the best interconnect made.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Yes, actually it's been more than 15 posts. I want to point out Oneobgyn's post on Audiogon about his system. I couldn't get it here, so maybe it requires looking up. I'm suprised by the cost of his Wilson X-2's, which are over $100,000. Anyhow, I liken Ori's X-2's to Koetsu cartridges, in that they convey something about music that escapes most components. I want to introduce another subject here. I know that Audiogon is about high-end, but I'm wondering if there is anything that can be done about car stereo's cd players. This is mainly where I hear the hardness that I speak of. Would something like Mapleshade's reveal and another thing, plus iconoclast do something to alleviate that?

All this time, when you've been complaining about the lack of soul in digital reproduction due to the hardness in the sound quality, you've been primarily referring to CD reproduction in car audio?

Considering this statement, IMO you've been wasting the time of the Audiogon membership with this nonsense thread.

And, repeatedly proclaiming a product that is fabricated by a friend to be superior to all others is the absolute definition of shilling. Shilling is generally discouraged in Audoigon threads.

Tvad, I want to apologize to you. I believe my last post short-shifted you. You have very interesting things to say. It's just, with me, sometimes, it triggers an inappropriate response. I would guess that you are a Scorpio, but I've lately struck-out in that area. I actually had retired Oritek X-1's, in favor or Elf Audio's ccc interconnects, and told Ori about that. Yes, I consider him a friend. He emailed me and said if you want your PRAT, here it is. He meant the X-2's. Yes, I'm a shrill for the masses that want, or need, music in the home. If you look at my moniker on Audio Circles, you would understand where I'm coming from. I'm not saying that it is superior, since I haven't heard the best. I hope to hear close to the best soon. I just have an obligation to say the truth, in terms of what's affordable to the average guy. I stand by what I said.

Mmakshak, you an apology to the general membership for not disclosing your personal relationship with the owner of Oritek in your many, many recommendations of Oritek X-2 wire.

I realize you may truly love the Oritek X-2 interconnects, but your relationship with the manufacturer could influence your opinion, could it not? Of course it could.
