Not only does JA share too little on tests, I've caught him *numerous* times over the years just flat out *lying*, seemingly at the behest of a treasured, very profitable advertiser. This is an old one, but happened to come up in emails with a client recently, from JA's review of Levinson 31.5 transport:
"And even more important with respect to sound quality, the transport has changed conceptually. That master oscillator controls not the transport mechanism but the output stage, a flip-flop chip that could be considered a 1-bit FIFO. The output data thus have the maximum timing precision, which is where it is needed. The mechanical drive is slaved to the output stage and therefore needs to be able to respond to its demands, which is why a 2x drive mechanism, with its inherently fast response, comes in useful. (This topology, referred to by Madrigal as Closed-Loop Jitter Reduction, or CLJR, was developed for the less expensive No.37 and Proceed CDD transports.)"
No way is JA this ignorant of the techno garbage there, and it's awfully close to the babble spouted by Harman's marketing people, trying desperately to rationalise their inexcusable choice to switch from CDM4 to the criminally horrible chinese-made CDM12 series garbage laser/mech, and also to avoid having to admit that they had very deliberately ripped off Ed Meitner's C-Lock-T reclocking circuitry to avoid infringement suits. I've seen original schematics for both systems, and Harman/ML should seriously have paid a license fee to Ed.
