While almost everyone would agree that the enjoyment of something is predominantly a subjective rather than objective experience (fine dining and wines/liquor docet), pulling in some quantitative criteria can offer valuable integration.
someone used some motorsports examples, and I would...
100% agreed. The LDR is real and not because of an alleged stop in the audio quality improvement at a certain cost, but because those continuously existing improvements cost more and more (and require more efforts in addition to the financial one)
@Lee you mentioned an asymptotic line as a...

The room is just warmer than in the first pictures.
I would assume that we all read audio magazines regardless of the current goal of purchasing new audio gear.
I would think we read them for the curiosity to learn what’s out there, even if we might consider ourselves “done” in the process to assemble a system that fits into our budget.
I would...
Not to jinx it, but has anyone reported how much of the 44x33mm sensor is going to be covered by the Leica M lenses?
Being designed for 35x24mm sensors, Leica lenses might give a massive vignetting (as you pointed out) but also poor corner resolution.
Not only that. Production photography and hand-held, fast paced photography differ a lot when it comes to the ancillary equipment you need (high mass tripods, remote strobe lights, reflectors…).
Hence my original comment: for travel, action/kids or low light I would not change my camera with any...
It mostly depends on what you need your camera for.
If you need a camera to be your partner for travel, events and similar, getting a modern iteration of a full frame mirrorless camera would give you unmatched performance when it comes to achieve image quality, portability and snappy autofocus...
Echoing Solypsa's post: a SUT is placed between the MC cartridge and an MM phono stage, while an active MC phono stage would be placed between the cartridge and a line input in your amplifier.
Anyway, technically you could consider both options: your HK integrated also sports an MM phono stage...
Interesting thread.
being my father a classical and jazz music listener only, we did not share much when it came to love for music.
Oddly, it’s him that told me to attend an audio show in the mid 90s, when I was a teen, with me getting hyper about the experience. He was into audio gear when I...
Thinking about a company with the reputation of MSB, fixing documented issues is a must.
Rolling out new products, IMHO, not so much: in the end, we are talking about ultimate products and improving what sits at the very top of a ladder can be tough.
thanks for your reply. I'm interested in the Zen Stream because of its USB audio output: do you think Amazon Music might be implemented in the near future or is the issue depending on the Amazon platform itself? I'm currently streaming Amazon Music via ethernet through my BluOS device, but this...
