John, thanks for your additional explanation. Let me summarise what I
think you're saying and I hope you can tell me if it's
A challenge
Here is a challenge then.
If, in a controlled experiment with all variables accounted for (incl.
differences in frequency reponse and within the power range appropriate
to the amps) under instantaneous A-B relay switchover, driving any
Harbeth speakers, if you can positively
buy SBT.
connect DAC of choice and set everything up.
live/enjoy. Relish in life affirming knowledge you aren't wasting time
tweaking things that make no difference.

based on TT3.0 I thought the max buffer time setting was 5 uS, by
upping the maxbuff setting in the TT file it can be set higher, I have
maxbuff set to - don't go higher.
with the following change I can get a period size of 1024 and buffer
size of 4096 frames when the buffer time is

So far, the only component of this meme that has been universal is
buy a Touch. Beyond that opinions vary considerably as to what
additions are necessary before a person can truly enjoy their music. I'm
quite happy to be in the camp that doesn't require much beyond pressing
the play button. ;-)
If you have the change below implemented then the magic alsa buffer
setting (TT -b xxx) is 92790, it gives the best period and buffer
settings for all resolutions ie period_size: 1024 and
buffer_size: 4096. It sounds full bodied and detailed, better than
500 and better than lower values. If

how about using a buffer value of -1 ? this produces quite a difference
to the sound, I think it is worth trying, sound is a bit more out of the
speakers, the bass and detail are excellent and it is quite relaxing,
surprising really. probably one of the best buffer setting I have found.

For the major US audiophile publications, Stereophile, I would venture a

years old. However if one doesn't count the oldest and the youngest

So I'll start.
