Arny Krueger demanded:
where are all the tests of representative low
cost CD players that you've promised and not
delivered?
I see you are now playing the game you've played
before, Mr. Krueger: that if you don't click on a link
I've provided you in another thread, you can say in
_this_thread that the page's contents don't exist.
Even when I clicked on the link you subsequently
provided John, there were no tests of ca. $50 DVD players.
Your words above, Mr. Krueger, were "representative low
cost CD players." Now you say "ca. $50 DVD players."
There was a review of an obsolete game console that
is still being offered for almost $200...
Typical price on eBay is $25-$35. The first-generation
PS1 is in widespread use as a budget CD player.
and a $150 universal DVD player...
Right. In their circuit design and parts selection, these
2 players are indeed representative of what you
can buy at the low end of the player market. They offer
analog noise floors that are above the CD's intrinsic
noise, limiting resolution in one case (published in
the magazine but not in this article) to around 14
bits, and they have fairly high levels of jitter. You
don't have to spend that much more -- see the
Onkyo DX-7555 measurement in the jitter article --
to get measured performance that will not
compromise CD playback.
"According to John Atkinson jitter is the sole
determiner of digital player quality. Furthermore, jitter and only
jitter defines sound quality no matter how low the
jitter actually is".
I don't know who you are quoting here, Mr. Krueger,
but I have never claimed anything like this. Perhaps
you are confusing me with someone else.
After all, who is the AES when we have an authority like
John Atkinson to show us the light?
Well, I am a long-term full member of the AES and
you, despite your belief in scientism, Mr. Krueger,
are not. :-)
Arny's belief in scientism does not stretch to cover an
$85 associate membership, John. You need to remember who
you are talking about. :-)
I have no belief in scientism to stretch.
I understand that "Scientism" is a new age perjorative that actually means
"Science classes always gave me a headache because I have no aptitude or
patience for it so it must be a religion and I hate all religions".
