Activity Stream

I knew about dynamic range > 100 dB, but 120 dB? Right. I listen to lots of classical and classical avant-garde where many modern recordings...

good to know , it is hard to compare

Dont forget LTA's new pre-amp https://www.lineartubeaudio.com/products/microzotl

I agree with the latter, disagree with former. We can certainly capture the transients. What's missing is about 90% of the soundfield (aka the...

I used to like the Linn radio stations when I had a Linn streamer. Nowadays they are available also on other streamers, just listening to it via...

Once again, "CD" is a playback medium/format. Capture has exceeded 16bit and 22k for over 2 decades. With noise shaping and dither, perceived dynamic...

That's the story I told my wife! I do agree however. Live music, in your room, whenever you want. Cincy

Sure, lots of background noise on many live jazz recordings, like e.g. Jazz at the Pawnshop. Being there is different. YMMV. Sent from my...

I totally believe that the Berning Pre One is a higher design than the MZ2 but it is the PSU that I am comparing. It is good to know that the Pre One...

Mike, What is the footer thread size on the A3? Have you tried other footers?

I have the MZ2 into my Berning Quadrature Z's but not had the opportunity to try Berning's own pre for comparison. That said, if you speak to LTA,...

I thought that was what you meant, but I have lots of live recordings that have very realistic ambience. For me, it's the loss of dynamics between...

IMHO the main thing lost is transients, second is detail (which is where "ambience" or "atmosphere" is)

Keep the gun handy, we have had a few coyotes running around hunting peoples outside cats at night. People have reported their cats as missing. A...

I would like to move my S1 into the HT/spare stereo, and put a better Lumin in its place in the stereo. However, I do not want to see a better Lumin...

That is one element where IHMO a lots gets lost. You could also call it atmosphere. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What do you mean when you say "Try ambience"?

You are correct. I should have said theorem.

I suppose that anyone who has ever been to a live concert can easily confirm there is no such thing as a lossless recording format . Try...

Debut album of French songstress Zaz, sold platinum when it came out in 2010. Most popular of course her signature “Je veux”. Like it. Difficult...

And although it is often used to justify the idea that 16/44.1 PCM (aka "Redbook CD") is adequate to encode all audio information, it actually says...

Back on the topic of the Aries G2, here's another review: ...

While I’m very happy with my S-1, there’s been a lot of development in the digital space. Lumin has done an exceptional job updating its products to...

In a thread specifically about RR listening to Mike Ls system? I say yes, very much. Now, does his purely subjective impression, however brief,...
