Great article on "Analogue Warmth"

I don't think you can get better than the R2R machine itself.

Yes, but the R2R machine needs to be played back through a system that is as transparent as possible. And there's the bottleneck. I have no clue how transparent the playback chain is of these industry veterans.

EDIT: O.k., while I wrote this you edited your post with posting their playback system. I'd still have to hear for myself how good it actually sounds.

What was the first comment you said to me tonight? Telling me I'm inventing rubbish. You sure are 1 sided when it comes to the personal comments. You have been doing it since the beginning of this thread, and then crying if I clairify things in a direct way.

I have not said anything that you have created is "rubbish" - you just said that yourself. I pointed out that anyone could emulate like you could via their computer rather than in an amp. You are incorrect yet again.

You are not clarifying anything but incorrectly interpreting select pieces of information and continuing your incessant inappropriate shilling.

Inventing rubbish was not in relation to your products but facts about how you deliberately misinterpreted forum information!

Nah, chill out.

I don't particularly like Blizzard's tone either. I also find embarrassingly pathetic his totally absurd comparisons with and his facile dismissal of SOTA DAC configurations that he has not heard (duh), and with SOTA analog that he has not heard (duh).

Yet he seems to have contributed useful things that lead to, for example, Madfloyd making a statement like the one that I just linked to. Also, Andrew on the NADAC thread has positive things to say.

What he posts on hqp etc is regular stuff on computer audiophile, presented in a much better fashion with research, experience and details. Of course like any forum you need to wade through trash to her to content

I don't think you can get better than the R2R machine itself. Yeah this looks like a pretty crappy system for the testing. I bet those accuton mids and Raal ribbon tweeters in those Evolution acoustics are really clouding up the resolution from the R2R

Is that evolution acoustics comment purposefully put in to antagonize Mike L to get some more hits on your thread?

 

[Audiophile Bill]

I can't be bothered to waste my day arguing with you, Blizz. You should be banned for incessant rudeness and deliberate misconstruing information let alone shilling just like you were banned from CA. Surprised you are still allow to contribute here.

Al - I agree on the good points.

For 1 I was being scarcastic about the drivers lacking resolution if it wasn't obvious enough, and for 2 I have no idea what Mike has for speakers.

Your obviously hoping people don't read the content of our exchanges and skip right to your slanderous accusations.

You simply haven't heard enough yourself to make all the exaggerated claims you make, and as a substitute relying on other people's ears is, well, pathetic.

Well if they do that and the result is good for all of us, who cares?

Unfortunately you are doing an abusive and misleading photo assembly of Positive Feedback, using the wrong caption for the photo, involving the names of WBF members, even without properly referring to the source. http://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/impressions-the-merging-technology-nadac-mc-8-dsd-dac/

IMHO your bets are going too far ...

You mean like he is incorrectly providing ideas from computer audiophile? The NAA and HQP thread there have been running for a couple of years in hundreds of pages

There is no slander in anything I have said. You don't like it because it disrupts your shilling.

Your not going to get better vinyl than the master tape the vinyl was made from. . . . So I'm sorry but if vinyl is doing something better than that, it's not coming from anything that was on the master tape the copy was made from. I think this is common sense. And if the vinyl is digitally sourced, it's definitely not better than the digital source.

That is correct, but that was not at issue here. What you incessantly did on this thread was inundate us with indiscriminate allegations of "colorations of analogue warmth" when you haven't even heard SOTA analog.

Please spare us your ignorance.

There is nothing wrong with not having heard SOTA analog, I haven't done so myself until recently (and like you, I remain a digital guy myself, for various reasons). But constantly talking about things that you have no clue of is indeed -- embarrassingly pathetic.
