DC-2 vs. DC-1 v3.1

Sills on August 24, 1999 at 17:02:43: All I know is that unless there is a very significant difference (as in, "Wow, that really made a difference!"), I can't even trust myself to make an A-B comparison. After about one or two switches from A to B and back to A my brain is tired and confused. If I don't hear it the first time then it's not going to happen. Interestingly enough, I have run across some "wows" that I would never have guessed would have happened. One was putting very good cables in between the preamp and amp (as an EE I had a very hard time accepting this), the second was putting BD Racing cones under a Krell 300i in an audio store (of all things, the tank that it is), and the third was putting a *real* amp into my already very nice system (I didn't even know the amp I had was as bad as it was -- I thought the rest of the system was poor). Also interesting were all the other things I did that I thought would make a big difference and didn't, among them putting the BD racing cones under my own equipment (didn't make a flip of a difference) and mass loading and rewiring the internals of my old speakers (same effect). As an engineer I'm drawn back to the old adage of the fudge factor, which in lay terms can be explained simply as "There's just too much going on for me to give you a single solution to that equation". Thus the ABX and cable disagreements will continue ad nauseum (to my nauseum anyway -- some people seem to enjoy the arguments). Oh, by the way, when I put the Lex in my system I said "wow". Shawn
