PS. ASRist (two syllables) sounds like the name of some lesser-known but terrifying Assyrian or ancient northern European deity.

it's actually the region where the name assassin comes from, so....






or would you like him to get his confirmation?

When you truly believe the last six feet makes a difference!

Tune in later. we'll be sacrificing a tube dac to the dark god of sinad.

I thought it was Sinad the Sailor.

As I’ve said elsewhere, the real meaning of “black background” is a total lack of measurements to validate your claims.

Dont forget the lack of knowledge and logic, guess you need to go back to the dark age to get a "blackground".

This review popped up on my Google feed the other day :-

https://www.dagogo.com/sw1x-audio-design-dac-iii-review/2/

My favourite bits are

"I believe multiple decimal place THD numbers are often hiding too much damping from excessive feedback and attempting to pass off high harmonics as ‘clean’"

“In componentry I often find a little editorializing can help sell me an illusion of how a recording sounds that I almost always find more believable than the illusion that ultra-low distortion perfect-measuring amplifiers give me.“

and especially

"The detail is orderly and arranged, composed evenly from front to back, left to right, top to bottom and even diagonally"

Never ceases to amuse me what some people are led to believe!

I usually only bust out the magic orb-on-a-stick during the spring equinox. There was this one time, when I still an orb-on-a-stick newbie, that I used it during a new moon in September. All my tweeters blew that night, and a black cat tried to eat my soul.

Apparently the type of screws used to bolt your cartridge to the tonearm can make a big difference....

Do not forget to utilize the magic energy of Shakti by Hallograph Soundfield Optimizer (right side of the picture). No, this is not a standalone coat hanger.
