Being an Engineer, I am a more of what the actual difference is or what is NOT being added by the equipment type of audiophile. All I want from my playback is for it to sound as close to what was recorded as possible, nothing added nothing removed. Proper Soundstage and a 'Live' recording are the important thing for me, nature, neutral, and alive. The meaning of 'Black' for me is only the absence of noise and by-products from my component path that those components could have added to the actual music that was recorded. IOW, a device can't make anything 'Blacker' just because somebody thinks it is better. But a better component can be 'Blacker' then another component because it adds less/no by-products or has less noise, IE cleaner, purer. So again its not 'making' it blacker, the listened to recording seems blacker because less is being 'added' in the path from source to speaker.
Must be why I like the Ayre Acoustics MX-R Mono Blocks so much, zero feedback fully balanced, clean, pure, nature, neutral. I can tell you one thing after having a KX-R at the house for 10 days, I am not a SS guy when it comes to pre-amps, but if I had $19K that didn't need to be used for anything the KX-R would be my next audio component purchase. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72018 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
