I decided that I needed to sort this blind testing debate out once and
for all. Therefore, this morning, I undertook the following test:
I prepared two slices of bread. I used vernier callipers to ensure
that the thickness of each slice, in each of the four corners, was
1.20cm. The bread used
I am fortunate in that I can have two sauces in my house. Lesser
mortals, those who don't have such sensitivity to the difference
between sauces, have to make a choice. On balance I'd go for the
ketchup, but could I live with Daddies? Sure; I'd have just the
occasional hankering for the

I don't mean to offend, but couldn't this variable affect the validity
of your test?

There's a pair of dynaudio 1.3se on audiogon for 1350 right now. Those

If you don't mind not having brand new things, going used at that price

widest coverage for folks considering a Transporter purchase.
It's nice to hear the following from an 'objective'
Myth??? Hah!
Cable burn-in is critical for cables that have been cryogenically
treated. The burn-in is necessary to warm up the cold sound
produced by the cryogenic treatment. That way, you get a nicely
defrosted sound.
Alternatively, you can just let your cables sit on the kitchen
countertop

In operating rooms, they run cautery devices close to the cables, to
prepare them for a scorching session of Metallica. Hot cable and heavy
metal are awesome for nasty yank'em and cut'em intestinal surgery.

I used my PC to transfer some Zappa vinyl onto my hard drive using a
24/96 sample rate into a WAV format. The songs play fine on the
transporter but the AES/EBU output to my McIntosh MDA1000 dac is only a
44.1 sample rate. Does the Transporter downsample a 96/24 to a 44.1/16

The spidf optical cable was better. I only have two optical inputs for
my Lexicon DC-1 so I got a 1 meter digital calbe for the

diference and the osund is now very close to my foobar via m-ausio and
an optical spidf. Thanks

Yeah, but as cables defrost, the resistance rises, dulling the subtle,
yet inaudible harmonics above 100kHz. This causes listening fatigue
very late at night.

One of the most advanced RCS systems out there is Acourate. I've had a
sample of this recently, after sending impulse reponse files, along with
uncompressed music files, to the developer for processing. The

Great post highd. Thanks! I read the Acourate website, never heard of
them before. If it can come close to the Tact preamp I tried, wow! Does
it do time domain adjustments to help with room resonance, or just
speaker driver alignment? I couldn't understand half the stuff the
website is talking
Uli, the developer, is a nice guy and will respond to your emails -- he
can address the technicalities in a more satisfactory way. But, yes,
the idea is to address time domain adjustments, etc. He was a Tact
user and went on from there. I am not a Tact user and won't comment on

A friend of mine actually looked into this. The wire, available
commercially, costs pennies a foot when you buy by the 100lb load.
Thing is, 100lbs is quite a bit of copper and many, many feet. I've
