Actually, what you'll hear is a big yawn. Cuz we've heard it all
before, too many times.
There are some who post here regularly who have so much invested in LP
being
inferior to EVERYTHING, that those are the folks from whom I expected (and
still expect) the howls of derision.
Trust me, my investment in digital audio or just audio seriously pales
compared to the aforementioned investment in equipment with highly
questionable price/performance.
If I'm prejudiced against what he has, he must be 100 times+ more
prejudiced
against what I have.
Who said I was talking about you?
Ahem, I should have thought that to be self-evident...though maybe not
confined to him :-)
It's still an presumption on Arny's part. 8^)
Besides, no one is talking about the
equipment here, the mention of which is just background
Speak for yourself. I'm coveting those Sashas no matter what you say.
I understand. They are very good (although different, I don't think that they
are any better than my Martin-Logans). I could happily live with either.
Never met a Watt/Puppy that didn't sound hollow in the mids to me, but
the Sasha changed that. Over twice the price of my demo Sophias however,
so...
What I thought ruined the Watt/Puppy was the Wow. Every time I went to my
local Wilson emporium, I had to ask them to turn the Wow off. Sure, it filled
in the low bass, but at the expense of the rest of the presentation.
- to set the stage,
as it were. The "howls of derision" would come from the premise and the
conclusion, that even a modest LP rig can outperform a $7000 - and highly
touted - DAC.
I don't think the modest LP rig can outperform a good digital 'rig' in
any objective, measurable sense. Doesn't mean you don't enjoy the sound
of the LP rig more though, which is what counts.
My point precisely. It's the results that count.
