Oh, with great pleasure. I'm not going for second to pretend that I know how esoteric and expensive analog equipment out there sounds, but from the prospective of somebody who, 30 years ago, had access to average gramophone and reasonably well preserved records, I can attest that there's no way one can compare the experiences of listening to the classical music. I mean, c'm on, be realistic. Half of classical stuff out there (intro to Mozart's requiem, for example) has such dynamic range that the record on the average equipment simply can't bring it up. One constantly needs to ride the volume button, bring it high for silent parts and then try to distinguish between music and cracks, pops and shhhhhs, then make sure to turn it back down before speakers clip in FFF part. Alternatively, music sounds like it suddently starts and stops off and on, where ppp parts are simply missing. Strictly, from the prospective of being able to properly hear most of the live recording of the classical performances, I'll take $50 DVD player over most of the turntables I heard. CD does it for me. And, while I'm runnning to grab my flamesuit, yes, I'm avare that $50 CD player has defficiences, mostly in dynamic response; in my experience, the differences among various concert halls and among various conductors and their renderings of certain pieces are way more significant than that. Running for cover, K -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iAj2aPdQnk or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvMNuuFSvN0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43045 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
