Re: NVA Blog
Blimey, that's an unexpected up spec for an audio brand. Not many brands using decent iron like that these days.

Re: Hi-res sample rates - a genuine improvement in SQ, or a marketing trick?
The point is that maybe its just the fact that the filters for high res dont fold back in title audible spectrum that makes high res sound better, not the higher res itself. Hence my prior advice to eliminate both confounding results from dac data path and mastering differences before assuming one k...

Re: DIY thoughts of the day
Thetes nowt wrong with omnis. They arent my cup of tea for critical listening though. I guess the only thing you can really say against them is that music is almost always mixed for/on directional speakers so is likely to sounds closer to as intended on a similar setup. Theres so much variation in r...
