    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/what-are-we-listening-to-right-now.40/ One of our oldest threads, still going strong. ;) Those who assume we aren't here because we love music, assume incorrectly. We also have a very strong nerd contingent that likes to understand...

    Preamp / DAC

    I'm terms of bling factor that may be true, but in terms of audible performance not at all. If money isn't an issue by all means bling it up, but if you are isolating sound quality, think three digit pricetags not four.

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    Clearly, for the next test it needs to be much louder, so you can't be disturbed by extraneous noises.

    It's easy to forget that these threads get thousands of views. Check how many visitors are online at any given time. Even if we can't 'get through' to many of those making the arguments, we can still provide the information for those who are able to follow along and have their own light bulb...

    a moving-coil cartridge is an absolute minimum requirement: even the best moving magnet will not be capable of the measuring the extra information in

    I wonder if @Frank Dernie is in any of them. Any shots of the Williams team? We make special allowances if the coolness factor is high enough. ;)

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    I think a little time to do some research would be good. A few days off from this thread might make you less likely to try to explain what you've already made clear and do some more reading.

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    If you haven't had any particular reason to look into the psychoacoustics side of things, which most of us haven't, you are likely to feel like a lot of blanks get filled in when you do. The brain is a tricky beast, and plays games that good marketing and salesmen will capitalize on. We are all...

    Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?

    One of the other often overlooked advantages of the way our host runs this site without advertising is that your moderation team does not have to worry or even think about how to deal with advertisers or any kind of sponsor. Just think about how that could change things. Almost to the...

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    Do you believe that matters? Where is your threshold of skepticism? Green CD markers? Shakti stones? Is there a limit to the potential improvement to be gained by 'better' (generally meaning high $$) cables than lamp cord, or does it just scale up to infinity? How about USB or toslink...

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    Key word there is claim. We try to be more evidence based. Once basic controls are put in place, we have something to discuss. Without that, it's just more of the same. The more you understand, the less it will seem that way. Either there is evidence, or there isn't.

    Matching ultra high-end speakers with a (good) cheap amp?

    Maybe throw in a decent AVR and blow some minds.

    Multi-channel ADC with HDMI output?

    And I rejected it. This isn't kindergarten. You are upset that someone has made an assumption that may be wrong? Maybe just correct the error in good faith. You have 20 posts...settle in a little before you try to tell our senior members how things should go. If you have a $15k budget for...

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    Rather than have a new thread for this, I'm going to move this to a thread where this discussion is destined to go anyway. Have you seen this video yet?

    Is SINAD important? - "Myths" about measurements! [Video YT]

    Reminds me of that old saying about the difference between a good friend and a true friend. A good friend will help you move. A true friend will help you move a body.

    Is SINAD important? - "Myths" about measurements! [Video YT]

    I would say 'we' have a prejudice against those who are in the business of taking advantage of the ignorance of their customer base, whether they do that 'sincerely' or not. The propaganda machine has made one of the unquestioned laws of audiophoolery that sound quality increases directly...
