| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki,I understand! This was a good decision! Please don't kill her, she only needs plastic surgery; cut all her credit/debit cards. :-)Best,Alex Peychev | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tbg,Last night I compared Frank Sinatra and Count Basie at the Sands using the original vinyl release and the server with the source disc being a SHM release to the hard drive.While I am sure that Sinatra/Basie at the Sands is a good sounding reco... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki,One thing I know - wise man told me once "Don't have a cow, man" so I sold my TT.Good move! I wish you could hear what Dynavector XV-1s can do with specially designed/tuned phonostage for it. Boy, I just love those Alnico magnets. :-)Best,... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? "Chestita Koleda i Shtastliva Nova Godina!" = Честита Коледа и Щастлива Нова Година! = Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :-)Alex Peychev | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Frank,That is correct; clocking is very important, as well as transports, DACs, analog stage etc. It is really a synergy of everything, and same applies to analog and the complete audio system. So if you are happy with it, just smile and enjoy you... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralman1,Great...more power to you! I am happy for you and I rest my case.Best wishes for the Holiday Season! Alex Peychev | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralman1,It is clear how much in-love you are with your transport, and I appreciate that, but have you seen how a top-line Esoteric VRDS-NEO compares to the "outsourced" transports you are talking about? Take a close look at this here. The "outso... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralman1,The 47 Lab Flatfish transport is house made. It is a top loader rigidly supported. The sound feeding my DAC is as pure as the driven snow. I share your thought on simplicity.Sure, the metal transport housing pieces are house-made, not th... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Frank, When it comes to top-quality, there are only several CD transport manufacturers in the world of which Sony, Philips and Pioneer are used the most for building audiophile equipment. There are some manufacturers building their own mechanisms,... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralman1, I think we have a misunderstanding; I am talking about digital not analog. Here is a description of the Reference Recordings HRx discs And here is the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances HRx discI have converted this to Linear PCM 176.4/24 D... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralman1,One of my all-time favorites and system test disc is the Reference Recordings "Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances".If you hear the difference between this excellent CD and the RR 176.4Khz/24bit HRx disc made from the original analog master, y... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I wish there was a CD player that allowed me to listen without being constantly reminded of it's flaws.Same here but its very difficult creating such beast. :-)That being said I have heard positive things about your players if you're the Alex Peyc... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Frank,The recording is usually done in the analog domain using high quality Pro tape machines, or direct-to-disc cutting lathe, or at high resolution digital PCM or DSD. So unless if you have a vinyl pressing from the master analog tape or high-re... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Well said Albert! Thank God for Reference Recordings HRx! This is probably as good as a mortal can get. :-) I am in total disbelief listening to these converted to LPCM DVD-A on my NWO-M! Amazing! I guess what is not realized on this thread is tha... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? With all due respect, I feel that you need to re-visit vinyl sound, on an audio system capable of reproducing the soul of music.Digital that comes close counts on one hand fingers, 5 that is (maybe), IMHO, of course!Best,Alex Peychev |
