Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp

Nonoise,
This description of tones-overtones and harmonic seperation of indivdual notes with decay characteristics could apply to any component. As all components in the audio system would contribute. Even cables would exert a sonic influence.

Charles1dad,
Yes, it would. Being an avid reader of Srajan's reviews, I believe he tends to delve into these characteristics more when it tends to be an amp review. My guess was nothing more than that: a guess based on a perception of what I think he's been saying all these years.

Nonoise I understand your point, I`m also an avid reader of his reviews and do look forward to them.

Charles1dad,
I think the appeal of Srajan's style has to be his being German born and classically educated, a world traveler, and having spent so much time in America. What seems, at first blush, to be an incongruence, grammatically, is actually old world rooted and spot on. Our language has lots of Germanic influence but the structure of the sentences are different. I only had two years of high school German but can appreciate the wordship he employs.
I've always been in awe of someone with that talent. Another writer with similar style and humor was L.J.K. Setright, who wrote for 'CAR' magazine back in the '80s. He would turn a car review into a treatise that kept you captivated and in the end, you'd kind of forget about the car as an object and instead, how it related to the world.

LOL!! I guess I'm not the only one who can get lost in Srabanese. However, he is one of the few reviewers who will do direct comparisons to similarly priced products and has no problem telling us if a more affordable product outclasses a expensive one. So I like his reviews despite all the fluff you have to go through to get to the bottom line.
