The BIG question (which we can't answer) is why wasn't John Atkinson tapped to do the measurements... Paul Miller does the bare minimum. For such a "revolutionary" device (supposedly needs a new A+++ stereophile "recommended components" category) the world demanded/needed a full suite of...

Or anyone with sufficient funds that suffers from "insufficient appendage length syndrome" Peter

The "reviewers" I guess get caught in a "catch 22" Review a $100 DAC, streamer etc and no one will look sideways if you diss it....it's only a 100 clams so of course it will be on the crap side of the sound scale. But review a very expensive DAC, streamer etc and given the general population...

Not sure if this has been flagged. Taiko are at it again with a new server...the Olympus To ensure my blood pressure/mental state stayed normal I haven't read any of the reviews in full (aside from going to the end to see the conclusions...which are the usual dribble). You can buy just the...

Stereo as in on a vinyl record. Stereo was invented and prototyped in 1931 (on a record) but it wasn't until the Westrex stereo cutter was developed in the late 1950's that mass produced stereo records become practical. Just like digital audio was invented in the 1930's but the technology that...

Noting that John Clarke was a Kiwi, born and breed and plied his comedic trade in NZ before his move to OZ. Peter

Needs at least 200 hours of burn in to sound its best.... 300 for that last final bit of resolution, soundstage depth/width, veils lifted, blacker blacks etc Also needs at least $5000 of associated analog/digital cabling and a $3000 LPS (with USB C output obviously). Don't forget the...

Maybe ? (no clue how old you are) - stereo in 1957 - CD in 1981 (started the digital revolution) - napster in 1999 (started the PC as a source/digital file revolution) - internet streaming in 2001 (started the internet as a source revolution) - CD quality internet streaming in 2007 (started the...

You mean I wasted my morning, fuming and shit posting at you for no reason!!!! Now I am really mad!!!! I do view Acoustic Solid as one of the good guys... they are a very much an engineering focused company (despite branching out into statement products which they never used to have... gotta...

Isn't it obvious (at least to everyone aside from yourself)? Different raw materials have a base cost and different materials have a different base manufacturing cost so if a business wants to appeal to different price segments of their customer base ***, they offer products in different...

Well they all do it....chase different markets... they are afterall a business You can buy a Chevy Malibu or a Chevy Corvette..... both are valid choices for a car company to manufacture. Peter

So in general, we have two schools of thought when it comes to energy dissipation with turntables (both from internal sources via the mechanics involved in turntable playback and external noise via say speaker feedback): - drain it away with say a lightweight chassis which is the principal...

If as you say "No web browsing, no downloading, no email" AND you have no open ports visible to the web then basically zero risk with regard to security (esp if you have the firewall up). I see no downside as the alternative (W11) is the installation of an always moving, never stable, never...

My last turntable was from Acoustic Solid of Germany (one of their mid range heavy metal ones) which I brought while living in the US 15 years ago....but I had to get it from Canada. I asked the dealer why there were so few dealers in North America and he stated that they mainly focus on the...

Based on what I believe was a resignation post from one of the mods sent to Amir, I don't know if it was honorable.. seemed more like crapping their pants and throwing their toys out of the pram cause they have certain political beliefs. Which is not how adults would discuss politics... but...

I am active on a couple of well known IT news sites that have forums and they have the same rules. Where politics and IT intersect then it is ok to discuss politics..although I will add threads that include political discussion will inevitably include non-economic political posts to highlight...

You Sir/Madam have DDS (Dac Derangement Syndrome) and I have now put you on ignore!!!!! /s if it's really needed

I was pretty active on that politics thread that got shut down and being a political animal would have liked to see this forum expand to include this. My belief is that most/all members of this forum believe in facts and I would be optimistic that any diverse political views would be discussed...

The issue with politics with regard to consumption/discussion is that today, those of a strong political nature GENERALLY live inside an echo chamber... all self (as in group think) referential. Everyone on this forum lives somewhere on a political spectrum and that political spectrum is mainly...

Time for me to walk the dog and start my Sunday. I will be very interested in where this thread ends up when I open up my laptop in 8 or so hours. Peter
