. I'm also an (amateur) musician, have played an inssomewhere around 16kHz).
In the end, I could tell the difference, but only on some tracks I knew very well, and even then just barely. I found it easiest to discern on a recording of the Bach cello suites - there was a difference in timbre, and possibly in detail. But it was very subtle - and this in a comparison between an extremely highly rated and reviewed amp custumized and upgraded by the manufacturer, and a 15 year old medium to low grade mass-market surround sound receiver. My (personal) conclusion from this experience? Spend money on music, speakers, and room correction. Amplification has been solved. that's interesting. The timbre differences you heard would probably be enough for me to want to buy the amp. Do you think most people in both camps would agree that amplification has improved to the point that the least differences exist in this part of the audo chain? Seems reasonable to me. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28368 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
