Hi,
Excuse my relativly newbie type question.
If you're testing a CD player or component that you comment is particulaly bright or dull or anything, how do you know it's not the partnering equipment effecting the sound? There are up to 5 other compoments (amplifiers, preamplifiers, cables etc). How do you know that each of these effects sound negativly or positivly?
Also, do you have the same amplifiers (high end) for everything you test, so that low end CD players may sound better as they're partnered with Krell and not the same calibre equipment? Shouldn't a R5000 component be tested with other R5000 components?
Lastly why not put some vital specs under a 'summary page' ... ? Dimentions, wattage, weight, ohms etc? I've seen the suggestion before and thought it'd be excellent, but nothing was ever done?
Thank you
