In Reply to: RE: So what do you think of THIS guy? posted by Sprezza Tura on September 25, 2014 at 07:03:20
Thanks Sprezza!Great question about digital... yea, behind my rack is an apple airport express that was being used to find new artists with Mog. As of late, its only used to play ridiculous hip hop songs my wife finds on YouTube. Before New Record Day, I had an all digital system using the stuff from peachtree that I liked a lot.
fantja,
I must have missed your email in the shuffle and I apologize. I typically respond within 24 hours... can you resend? Ron@newrecordday.com

I thought your Benchmark DAC video was clever. Nicely done.
But I can't help but be so presumptuous as to offer some constructive criticism.
You spent time reading off the spec sheet and feature list, where this is very readily available on numerous web sites a few mouse clicks away.
You did not spend much time on the sound, and quite frankly it seemed you really only used it on the desktop. There wee no comparisons to similar products. This is the problem with not having a digital reference. So it was great compared to what?
I also got a bit of a laugh in your Audio Art Cable review. You say you spent a week with it and it did not malfunction, so it got your stamp of approval for durability. That is pretty funny.
Keep up the good work..I find the ever changing facial hair interesting too!
Thanks Sprezza!
Your feedback is what I crave so keep it coming. The truth is, I describe myself as a "happy fish out of water" as I progress and learn as a reviewer. I don't pretend to know everything and will always try to improve where it makes sense without turning my reviews into a sales pitch.
That benchmark review was a tough one... I felt like I bit off more than I could chew and your comments are spot on. Anyone could read a spec sheet and walk away with just about 85% of the content from that review. I am always thinking of ways to get the important info covered but focus more on what the piece of gear sounds like or how it functions... its a fine line to walk.
Again, with the Audio Art Classics, totally right about that as well. Heck, I didn't even recall saying something like that in the review so I watched it again and started to chuckle... yea, I still have my work cut out.
Thanks

Your lack of outsized ego and open mindedness is refreshing.I for one, am a fan now. I think your format has great potential.
I am of the mind that the current format of high end audio reviews has run its course.
Your video production skills are quite excellent. My wife makes corporate videos for a living and I can tell you that you that you know what you are doing.
The only thing I would add is it would be great if you use some specific musical references..pick out one, or a few records for each review to play that is going to be a broad reference for many viewers and describe what you hear. I don't see you as a guy who has a collection filled with audiophile dreck.
Ballsy personal request: use some Dylan...John Wesley Harding!. I have or had that album on every format, CD, SACD, reel tape... :)

Sprezza,
Thanks again!
LOVE Dylan and think that's a really good idea! Have a recommendation on a specific pressing I should look for? I don't own a copy of that record yet...

Ron-
if you get a chance to audition, Stage III Concepts power cords- do so!
I was actually using that Dylan title just an example. I would not be so presumptuous as to choose your reviewing music. I just threw Dylan out there because I can't think of a single audiophile friend my age (mid 40's) or old school mate that does not have Dylan records or has not seem him live.
I am sure you have records in your abode that are part of the overall universal collection of most music lovers.
FYI,I don't have a turntable. My analog is R2R. But I have heard from multiple sources that the MoFi pressing is real good. I have the original Columbia 7.5 ips tape and that sounds just amazing!
You have to be really careful with copyrighted music. We have relationships with several labels for this reason. Dylan is a no go.
Actually I was not suggesting he actually play the record while filming the video..simply hold up the album, maybe show the needle dropping, then cut away to sonic descriptions.
