Post Subject: The Intensification of Reality: good/bad vs.right/wrong.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/24/2008

Good concern, I had and have it as well. I do not have an answer at this point. It should be stressed that my description of artifact was just my specific description of THE artifact, the MF texture  music had also a “face lift” -  I just did not speak about it. 

Still, a “better” sounding musical instrument does not create a Pavlovian Reflex to Mechanical Sound, the artifacts do. I am family very well with the hyper-resolution results and I am concern do not be hooked on this, again and again. I do not know as now how the Intensification of Reality with new Milq MF channel will work out for me on a long run. Even if it is the hyper-resolution then it is a hyper-resolution at another level and I have with this DSET some means to moderate the harmonics that supports that hyper-resolution. I never was able to do it with any other situation without screwing anything else. Nevertheless, I do not feel, at least at this point that the “Mechanization” of Milq’s MF Sound is some kind of Surrogate Realism. You see, the motor reaction to some things that the MF does now are very nature and very not contrived. It is like a dog that hump a picture of a dog that he sees in a book… it is kind of different experience then to hear a hyper-resolution layback, it is hard to explain and it should be heard.

Sure, I need to live with it for a while to see what happens next. I am wondering what the reason was.  Perhaps the people who were bitching about the electrolytic caps were right after all. In the MF channel in a past I got a major advance when I got read of cap in line-level filter replacing it with a coil. Now my MF signal has no capacitors in signal path (including PS) beside 10uF of very high quality Cube 950. Perhaps that made the trick? What else I change: a new transformer, new choke and new Schottky diodes… I think still it was primary die to the new way of use capacitance - in DSET codification I might go away with it.

How much useful value it has? Well, I will wait for a final conclusion in a week or so when the PS with its caps will burn-in but so far the result is more than pleasing and very promising. BTW, what also is very interning is that now HF can tolerate +6 dB without being too hot.
