My former source was a SB3 with a Lavry DA-10. When I got the Touch a year and a half ago, I synced and level matched the analog outs of the Touch against the SB3/Lavry combo.
After two weeks of comparison, I found I couldn't reliably tell the difference between the two set-ups, so I sold the Lavry. (I kept the SB3 for a second system.) When it comes to the sound of my system, I'm the biggest variable. I can talk myself into justifying pretty much anything if I wish. Second place in the variability contest goes to recordings - they are all over the place in terms of mike choice & placement, mixing, processing and effects. (I always marvel at those who appear to pick a component because one particular pop/rock recording sounds good.) Anyway, while I sometimes find myself in a poor mood for listening, or been disappointed with this or that recording, I've yet to said to myself that I wish the analog outs of the Touch were doing something different. I know others have a different opinion. That could be my pedestrian system or tin ear, or it could be their active imagination (or both!) but that's fine. Fortunately, survival of the world doesn't depend on our reaching agreement on this particular subject. ;-) -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90656 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
