hey, btw, how can you have such a high resolving system with such a high noise floor?"John Elison being top flight, actually compared my cdr against his own cdr recording he burned. This is actually a better apples to apples comparison since now the comparison is cdr to cdr vs cdr to vinyl." What? This diverges into a little bit of bullshit, don't you think? How can it apples to apples if ... ... Dude, I think I am opting out of this whole CDR thing for good from now on. It is a quagmire.
BTW, as a parting shot, does John Elison share you belief that the DA conversion blunts the copy? I think not. Oh, god, what a mess.
Follow Ups:
But John's idea when he spun my cdr was to compare it against the same songs he had burned as cdrs. That way the cd player and cables were apples to apples. The only thing different was the cdr recordings. That makes sense in an A B X comparison test. He was testing. You were listening.So he limited the variability...that is all. From a scientific standpoint his evaluation was the most closely matched comparison. He preferred his vinyl front end to mine. In comparison he has about 100 times more money invested and his CDR's sound really fine.
I do not agree with everything you say nor do I agree with everything John says.
....and I am a fun guy to get high with! Not so sure about Elison, I do not know him as well as I know you ;-).
And whats with this I want to opt out crap....This is not a lifetime membership type of deal. I will not send you anything you don't want to spin.
I trust your ears...actually your wife's ears are probably less ineubriated! I thought you might like to hear a Denon on a Technics so you could compare it to your Rega. I think the Rega might do the Denon better justice. I found the Technics just made too much wooly bass for my tastes.
KT88 will love me for that endorsement! Where has he been lately?
If you want to try a 103R I am happy to ship you mine for a couple of weeks. I think you have enough gain since you have my AU300OC!
i aint jumping in those CDR threads no more. promises promises.I am now in a dilemma. I just saw an armless Thorens TD-111 which is an idler but the motor turns another wheel via belt thus decoupling the motor from the idle wheel.
Yeah, I would love to try the Denon. I was gearing up to buy one but now i may plunk down on that Thorens.
Belt driven to an idler interface. It was a dead quiet table. I upgraded to a Thorens TD165MKII It was just 175 dollars more and I still have it! Although it is tweaked to death. I was spinning it this week. I plan to mount the DL103R on the thing unless you want to try it for a couple of weeks.
I would love to be able to try it. You never get the chance to try a cartridge to "see".In return I have 2 RCA Cleartops and Philips JAN 6189 that are that you can tryout if you have a place for them.
