argh, it means the music retains its "soul" without undue influence. -

Fremer says 9" arms are inherently superior?
Let's pretend, if you may, that I've been around long enough to know what "soul" is in relation to the emotional context of music for any playback device, or Live for that matter ... but ... if you prefer certain colorations brought on by certain resonances, then who am I to argue. I prefer my... -

Fremer says 9" arms are inherently superior?
The SAT arm is all about controlling resonance ... so after hearing Fremer's rips with the SAT arm, I did some digging (as I've done so many times before) ... below (not scaled) ... is the right channel freq.resp from a recent Fremer rip using a $10K cart and the SAT arm. The red trace is... -

Yet, you also posted this nonsense ... "I claim and continue to claim that his preoccupation with avoiding resonances at every level of playback is overblown and misguided." If you can't understand the massive negative influence of resonances ... well ... -

Fremer says 9" arms are inherently superior?
Well, not only does he compare, but he also provides rips which allow the reader to hear the product in question. To my knowledge, he is the one doing that ... Thankfully Fremer has gotten over his silly "hate" for all things digital and in turn has used it as a viable tool for comparison... -

Is it unwise to buy a state of the art CD player at this time?
... tilted scales ... dynamic range measurements have since confirmed that many so called "superior" SACDs inc. a compressed CD layer. No wonder many think SACD sounds better.- TBone
