A thread on CA to be worth reading.

http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/audiophile-sound-natural-sound-23984/

Hi Peter,

Mani and Paul are listening to a pure Phasure/BertD  audio chain    and both are raving over the amazing SQ with a “clock” modified PC (Original built to “Phasure” guidelines/spec’s) 

  Both wrote in a favourable intention for this FORUM their impressions of the “new” improved SQ. 

I trust Mani’s and Paul’s ears in the same way I trust yours  and to make it short, we WANT to have the same spectacular SQ.

Hi Brian,

your very low SFS = *.4* has a tendency to a sharpness with some cables too. I increased the SFS therefore up to 2.

Joachim

Bl**dy hell,

the cable opened up dramatically after 4 to six hours.
Very “clean” sound of the wind instruments and the timbre of all instruments and voices in my system is amazing. The depth of the soundstage improved a lot.

The best USB cable in my system ever.

Joachim

The last 4 weeks a $1 USB cable was in my system, due to the “SQ nearness” to the vinyl sound with my turntable.

My very first SQ impressions (within **25** sec)  of the Clairixa USB cable (power wire enabled)  was,

this is ***a SQ similar to*** the ”YSF data only” cable, but with

-   a stronger left/right separation
-   more speed
-   ***much*** more details*** ***
-   more resolution

and less ambience compared to the $1 USB cable. The deepness of the room image declined from 5m to 2m.

Joachim

YES !!!

I measured the 4 (ground), the ground is connected.

HI,

Any possibility to get in touch with you?

Joachim

Nothing is happening here, so we have to fill the gap!

Does digital sound better than analog?

The good article is here:

Edit: Found on Youtube

In a nutshell, CDs chop off all the audio content above 22 kHz, while LPs roll off smoothly up to 60 kHz and beyond. Considering that the upper limit of human hearing is commonly agreed to be only 20 kHz, it is up to you to decide how much of a difference this actually makes.

Aaaha,

LF's pops "down"  , this is the reason for your bass fondness.

It's the genes, in my case I hear amazing highs, no additional bass.

Joachim

Ok,

so we have to wait for the Clairixa.

At present, compared to my turntable, the SQ of the old "analog source CD's" is lagging behind with the $1 USB cable (not very far), and the main question is, what have they done during the mastering with the output signals of the analog master tapes.

Another sample: ”Rocky Racoon” on the ”Beatles White Album” was recorded with a lot of cymbals, hi hat and snare **at the end of the track**, which you do not hear on the CD in that vinyl quality (curtain damping effect).

The bass on “Fever” has more body and the voice more details on the vinyl (s-tones etc.), and the bass notes on both are not very deep.

By the way, the EMT 950 is an amazing machine. In 2010 I sold a big type EMT950 and thought the remaining TT will be good enough for the future, but within a week I had to buy another one (from Switzerland)

Hi Peter,

reading Nick's comment I would say it's "highnoon" for such a PC modification (in cooperation with Nick?).

I will order such a modified PC straightaway.

Joachim


Edit: I just got the "gut feeling" that you and Nick are working on it already.

Hey Mani,

this is physics. You are flying around the world the whole year and I'm  sure that you are facing ear anomalies during every descent.

I'm older than Peter and therefore I have to adjust my  "ear pressure" after every song. Bad luck for me.
