The key point in that last post is "best picture." Who decides what is the best picture? YOU DO...and tastes differ. Julian Hirsch pretty much always said the same things so he was sort of boring compared to modern "objectivist" reviewers who aren't necessarily more accurate, but have the florid and long winded descriptions we all know and are sometimes entertained by. Also, room correction gizmos merely hand over parts of your rig to paramaters decided on by somebody else, applies those paramaters to everything you listen to regardless of what might be on the recording, thus taking you out of the driver's seat, so to speak. Do you want a robot adjusting your video screen for you? How about salting your food? Picking out your wine? Man up (or Woman up) and join the fight against evil Room Correction Devices (RCDs) or all esthetic choice will be marginalized!
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
I have an Ayre CD player, BADA Alpha DAC, deHavilland Mercury pre-amp, CJ MF-2500A amp and N802 - am looking to upgrade amp.
Would like to hear views on Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution.
Not married to tube or SS..
Always wonder about Stereophile recommended components such as Aesthetix Atlas, Parasound JC-1, CJ LP-125 and the likes. I would pay about $5k on Agon so there are some limitations.
Thanks.
