RE: Stereophile: Computer Audio Without Computers

What makes easier to get caught in the vicious cycle for CA enthusiasts is that comparisons are relatively easy and fast to do..switching playback software, comparing file formats, and endless other categories..

Where the disc and vinyl based audiophiles can do endless comparisons, they require system shutdowns, and quite a bit of lag time. Comparing cartridges, tone arms, power cords, speakers, tubes, and isolation devices are not instant A/B switches. Most just stop at a certain point.

I still try to make my own field recordings with reasonable gear so I can do just as Alan Shaw of Harbeth does, which have a personal reference. He records his daughters voice to help voice the speakers. Not state of the art, the being familiar with original event offers benefits.
