As you know currently there are two opposite camps regarding digital sound reproduction: one is the non oversampling filterless camp, the other is the over- and upsampling + filter camp. There are as many followers of the NO as the over- and upsampli...

While in general I agree with Romy about Wilsons, I have once or twice heard them sound really, really good. On the other hand I have also heard them sound really, really miserable -- worse than anything. I'm not talking merely mediocre her...

Ed Meitner after Musatex ran his celebrated EMM Lab Company. I never liked the EMM Lab products. Although each with trash in audio loved to like EMM Lab ADCs but I found that this D/A converters were horrible. The entire Meitner parley in SACD w...

There was a big room in there with big Schweikert speakers (with thier grainy and insultingly confident Sound), some king of not particularly good electronics and the entire EMM Labs’ front-end. Many rooms at the show used EMM Labs so-call preamplifi...

Here are a few comments by Mike of Audio Federation about his exposure to new Lamm ML3 amp:

In fact it was more interning then the entire review in Soundstage, at least more informative. A few comments t...

Phil Gold wrote in his EMM review the following:
http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/
The key consideration for any external DAC is how to minimize or eliminate jitter. We've seen analog Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), dig...

Thanks, Steve, though I believe you forget to mention to the room number where Alex Peychevs will be demonstrating.

My EMM labs CDSA-SE is very unreliable and I think, I will do a last repair or maybe I will throw it directly into the junk box. Depends on my mood...but I found some interesting Design from 47 Labs. But never listened to one.Anyone, who can write s...

OK, Romy, I take your point. I'm still going to audition the Emm setup - why not, right? - but will not be doing so with the firm intention of buying them there and then. I have never even heard of Antelope, but will check them out and see if they ca...

I don't know Ed Meitner so this is not a defense of his association with SACD. However, as I mentioned some time ago I strongly suspect that it was Sony who demanded the one bit SACD and nixed the 4 bit. Sony in the late 90s was obsessed with copy pr...

I suppose you've listened to EMM Labs, dCS and all that "top" SACD converters. I wonder if the problem is not as much in the transports or DSD/A converters as in the way they produce the recordings and make the SACD discs. It would be interesting kno...

You know, the more I look at the parts and construction of these things, the more impressed I am, for the price. I do like the look of that rubidium master clock too, again at an impressive price. Unfortunately, the closet dealer at which I can audit...

Since it's always hard to guage situational significance by the presence or absence of fanfare, and since I know squat about digital, I was wondering if anyone better educated than I (ie, anyone) happened to see the iPOD "dock" review in the Oct...

[quote user="Paul S"]I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some serious effort expended in setting them up. IMO, this is no small matter, and Wilson obviously agrees,&nbs...

It looks like Ed Meitner has a new DAC. I come to it at 6moon site.

[quote user="guy sergeant"]You might write a venous attack on Vitavox but it would be about 12 years too late! [/quote]
Why not write about the Vitamix instead then? It may attract an

I read one more page from the Tenor description, before the author begun to talk about sound. A correction need to be made, from the first pages I understood that the amp use 6N6P driver but on the next pages it was not the case. Perhaps I confused s...
