Wow! Exactly what I and most others here I suspect ,do NOT need, a Super Premium Priced , Phonostage. I have hundreds of LPs many with both very well performed and well recorded Western Classical Music ,but I rarely play LPs these days. I have an LP system that is already good enough to...

In your defence I think even Rob has used the term musical in reference to his dacs , but not in the same pecking order as you. Enjoy your TT2 .Cheers CC

Hmm, personally I would STRONGLY reserve the term musical for us humans and some animals, most notably songbirds,NOT for a dac which imho can only be more or less tranparent, and reveal more or less, of what's actually stored digitally on the recording you play. But certainly NOT musical. And...

Thanks for your response Rob.Regarding studios and 192 max rate it applies to most ,but not all. I attended DXD sessions ,ie 358khz rate, already over ten years ago. Morten Lindberg of 2L was one of the first labels I know of to record at DXD rate and Jared Sacks of Channel Classics started...

Interesting, and Debussy actually quoted Mozart who said: something like "Musik ist die Stille zwischen den Noten."Music is the silence between the notes." Ironically it seems that the BIG problem with digital audio is that it chops up the flow of time by introducing artficial timing gaps as...

And very nice indeed to hear it played by a young talented Soloist and Student Orchestra from the Arlberg region in Austria. "Guat" as they'd say there. Cheers CC

I do notice differences,but I still bought a Qutest/Mscaler combo while both were still priced more reasonably, at least in Asia, after comparing both Dave and TT2 both on their own against Q/HMS and HMS with Symphonic Music where I also know how things sounded both live in the hall at...

Sorry I could not resist using just one word instead of your long list . RESOLUTION. Cheers CC

I have yet to hear the Unveiled, but if " light ,more light" in this case means a clearer more open and uncoloured and less veiled SQ,I will most probably prefer it over OG although that is the best planar I have heard. But would I buy one? NO. Both are imo" toys for very rich boys." PS Who...

Quite interesting price difference there ,250 USD against Erzetich's 2500? Where I live the best price I could find for the Charybdis was around 3k + € But what about SQ??

Interesting , do you play an acoustic instrument or an amplified one? I hope you are not using electric guitar or synth keyboard as reference points here ? In my very strong opinion the only valid reference points in the context of HIFI can be unamplfied instruments and the human voice as...

If your suspicion proves to be correct, thanks for pointing out the ruthless rip off pricing in high end hifi from almost every brand in the Western World these days. Which Monolith headphone are you comparing Charybdis with? Cheers CC

Imho not only Schubert's best Sonata,but one of the finest works for piano from that period rivalling Beethoven's greatest Sonatas. And also briefly quoting one of Beethoven's. This is only the first movement,lasting 20 minutes here in Zimerman's somewhat restrained interpretation. My...

Nice little piece, and dare I say around 0,55 secs in "waistline" leaps to mind again. Just a coincidence like the title of her piece I guess? Cheers CC

Hmm, are you clickbaiting? Not a word about her waistline! But wow, what a performance ! And via my two electrostatic speakers a surprisingly realistic recording from DGG. The "frosty" beginning of that Caprice reminds me a bit of Vivaldi's Winter. -7C and some snow here in Sweden. And a...
