YOU REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING. SOME DACS HAVE A SPECIFIC GRATING/GLARE/EDGE OR SOMETHING THAT I CAN REDUCE BY REDUCING 3100. THESE ALL MEASURE RULER FLAT UNLESS YOU THINK AMIRM IS LYINIG. I DON'T. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT OBVUOUS IN THE MEASUREMENTS THAT HIGHLIGHTS OR MASKS THIS PROBLEM. The question is what, and can we measure it.
I’m well aware of Amir’s measurements. But did you measure your specific devices? Who knows, one of them might be broken?
You want to measure something, then start with the most obvious and most defining parameter: frequency response. If you build amps and speakers, that should be simple enough.
That and your previous posts are over-simplified claims which are not very astute from a scientific perspective. Rather, they are classic and stereotypical subjectivist claims - as to a more science-oriented call for further investigation to confirm/verify or dispove. Claims reported by a single audiophile who is subject to multiple biases are not verified truths.
Do you think they only manifest themselves with music? You can use Deltawave to see differences between DACs and it would easily show a difference that takes a few dbs of EQ to alter to your taste.
You seem to have difficulty in this department. Same as in PA5 thread, you appear to be unable to state succinctly and clearly what you mean. The quoted text above, I'm afraid, clarifies nothing.
I am commenting on this and not on the previous comments you made. The whole point of objectivism is that instruments of measurement don't lie, so your questioning of @Amir is pointless. Two of them might have a bias, which is easily testable by various labs comparing the AP5555 to other types of instruments. It could perfectly be the case that a feature in 2 of your N number of DACS is not measured by the tests performed here, and other sites. Have you done your online research? If I were you I would find someone to do measurements of the units you have and report them here. If they are recent purchases you might have gotten 2 lemons that can be traded by the sellers.
Helpful?...Yes Everything?...NO In the last two years I've bought 6 items based on measurement reviews.....I've sent back four of them because they just sounded terrible. I'm currently blown away by two pieces of equipment that measure terrible (or at least poor) but sound amazing...PASS LAB First Watt F5 v2 and Zero Zone tube preamplifier........ Go figure!
We don’t like Screamers here. So please hold it down to a mellow volume so we can still listen to our music.
You are probably at the highest level you can achieve for your price range. Price is NOT a big factor in most systems. But, don't spend your pension money just to spend it. I am in the same boat. I don't have the money I used too. Unless something really big comes along that makes me say WOW! that is next generation Star Trek stuff then it is not worth upgrading. Most audio people, but not all of course get upgraditis. If affordable it is fine but don't stretch your money especially for a two channel system. IMHO a good surround system blows the doors off of a good 2 channel system. Even Gene over at Audioholics has realized that. It has been true for many years now. That's my opinion. It is worth a nickel. It was two cents but alas, inflation has struck us all!
Feeding the Carp. Those hungry bottom feeders eat up everything!
You have mistaken my post as feeding, when indeed it was a pleasantly presented Warning.
Asking Adam to lock a thread started by Adam's boss for the purpose of keeping these kinds of "discussions" off other threads?
You mean, "Adam, since I've not shown the ability to understand lock this thread."
No.
Easy - peasy to figure.
