Brandnew WADIA Decoding Computer

I believe that I qualified my statement by saying "Without any accounting for different rooms ... " Surely that states that I am only giving an opinion of complete systems, and an opinion that was shared by the majority of the people that I spoke with.

As for my own personal opinion? I've never heard the Meitner in a system that I'm familiar with, but I have A/B'ed the Wadia 861se against an ARC CD3 and, according to my ears, the ARC beat the Wadia in every way imaginable. As far as I'm concerned, Wadia is an effort of great design and poor engineering.

please elaborate?

I'm quite certain that not all audio components are liked by everyone & it seems that Wadia gear generates a lot of controversy. However, I've not read this one before as stated by Themadmilkman: "As far as I'm concerned, Wadia is an effort of great design and poor engineering."

Like Mejames, I'm curious, too, for an explanation.

>>As far as I'm concerned, Wadia is an effort of great design and poor engineering.
In a computer forum we use to say to statements like the above: "Don't feed the trolls".

OK

So we take eddie van halen (room and space) and we take several guitars of different makes and models. Acoustic to electric and everything in between.

Now replace eddie with you.and keep on changing the combo's ....this is A/B comparisons. How do we by placing a component into a chain, allow for a judgement or experience ,,sense or measure of the final phenomenon
