| Dd67000 crossover points? @erik_squires . Interesting research-- AES preprint 3207 by Oohashi et al. claims that reproduced sound above 26 kHz "induces activation of alpha-EEG (electroencephalogram) rhythms that persist in the absence of high frequency stimulation, and c... | |
| Value of a preamp? @hilde45 . Love your description- it's all "artifactual". :) | |
| Value of a preamp? I particularly enjoy the dealer (salespersons) comments; kind of like the old Absolute Sound to which I subscribed and enjoyed :) . Now I prefer amirm - just the facts - as best that human can avoid personal bias - which I think "they" do a pretty... | |
| Value of a preamp? @cey. I agree systems sound better. I understand designers aim for the elusive straight wire w gain; however, exciting colorations must account for many findings :) | |
| Value of a preamp? @dynalead. Yes. Where would phono be w/o preamplifier. | |
| Value of a preamp? @carlsbad2 . I concur. It shouldn't change the sound. | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? @ghasley. Not offended. Disappointed. I get business. But, just tell it like it is. "Studio sound forever" ? Hogwash. It's the developers I was offended by. Disappointed by those who new better; who should have said "this compression scheme is not... | |

| Repairs to Spectral preamp Spectral. Disappointed with Spectral. (Berkeley is a different matter.) | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? Interesting responses. I don't "hate" Berkeley. Just disappointed. I'll certainly "get over it :) " I did not think my post would be considered extreme. Just a little disappointed - no "hate" , not even dislike. Disappointed, just a little :). ... | |
| Repairs to Spectral preamp Agree with jond - and very disappointed with Berkely. Won't buy Anything else of theirs. Eric, any chance you know a competent service Shop. I'm not concerned about shipping costs, and have original boxes. | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? I'm disappointed that a company like Berkely, Espousing dedication to fidelity, wouldn't have known and spoken of the false claims of MQA. My gut tells me they must have known; so shame on them. | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? Why were they not forthcoming. Do ethics matter in Audio? |
