Kub and Chad, i truely appreciate being given a little benefit of the doubt; thank you. i also realize that credibility can be lost.
i consider myself very fortunate to have been in the right place to be exposed to this. this experience has been so profound that i felt an obligation to tell people about it.
it's a break-thru.
regarding what level of system it takes to get the value;
last weekend i was at VSAC and took it around to 5 different rooms at various points on the food-chain of levels of resolution. in every room it's effect was profound. the most profound was the highest resolution for sure.
my opinion is that the degree of effectivness percieved has mostly to do with one's connection with one's system. if you are a listener who is in touch and are observant; this will matter a great deal in every system. if everyone at a show listening to unfamiliar systems and unfamiliar music 'get's it', then any audiophile with decent gear will also hear it.
this is not subtle.
one note; since i have put my credibility on the line to get this word out i am concerned that people hear this the right way......which is hard since there are very few of these out there. solving that problem is where things are right now.
