In Reply to: RE: Sorry ... what about the Analog Devices AD1852 ? posted by beppe61 on April 30, 2015 at 00:15:21
IIRC utilized the AD1852; although I auditioned this unit a while back, I remember it being a really nice experience, albeit, darker in tonality compared to my resident player.

Hi and thanks a lot.
I can live with something dark but not hard/harsh in the midrange
Often with digital and solid state there is a very fatiguing hardness in the midrange.
I understand very well who tries to tame this aspect using tubes.
But i do not like the bass from tubes ... it is not ok.
And also the very highs can be better with solid state.
But midrange with tubes can be very ok
When the sound is right it flows and i do not hear the system.
Never happened ... never. I have been always aware of the system.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

... the inherited "darkness" of the 588 was in comparison to my resident player, a model which offers a sunnier type presentation compared to the vast majority of players. I certainly didn't intend to give the impression that the 588 was overly "dark" compared to all other players.
As for the solid state / tube debate, I've no horse in that race ... if any such "fatigue" exist within my solid state system, it's 100% software based.
Hi and thanks again for the useful explanation.
I mention tubes because many use tubes in a digital chain.
Of course good solid state is just that ... good. And i prefer not to use tubes.
For instance almost all decent solid state with analog is quite ok.
It is with digital that everything gets difficult ... tricky.
The processing is a complex ... process indeed.
Like a reconstruction of a puzzle ... never an easy task.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
