RE: VSE Uberclock review

Posted by Espen R on August 7, 2009 at 07:02:39:
Read it. Very nice review by Karl Lozier.

Karl says...
"In my listening sessions, I found both CD and SACD were equally improved. As it turns out, that was Allen's goal. If forced to decide between the comparative improvements in these two sections, I would say that SACD was a bit more noticeably improved than regular CD. That is probably because the qualities attributed to good SACD sound reproduction, such as ambience, spaciousness, air, three-dimensionality, a more natural soundscape, and so on, become even more apparent with the jitter reduction presented by the Uber Clock."

That's exactly what I have observed, too. SACD's sound incredible good now.
Despite the good mastering of James Taylor "JT" done by Doug Sax, it never sounded absolutley "right" A sort off rolled off in the higher frequency, not so "tight"...sometimes it's very hard for me to describe what I hear. Well, that was before Terra firma clock. After Terra firma...YES! No it sounds right!

My Sony SCD-Xb-940 Vacuumstate Level 7 with Terra Lite clock sounds more musicaly alive than nearly anything I've heard from a digital player and most vinyl players as well.
