Rotel RA-1062 vs Simaudio Moon I-5

Do I hear dead silence, Isaac?... I'll take it as a NO...

 

Why wouldn't it be? It's not in the interest of a designer to withold performance improvements.

 

Isaac,

You are stepping into dangerous ground here... since I respect you I won't talk about the glowing blue eye...

 

BD is this part of your global audio conspiracy theory?

sad indeed

 

You can ask Isaac...

 

no
I asked you
at least be man enough to explain your words.

 

Penance,

As I said I won't say more in respect for Isaac.

 

BD - I really don't know what you're referring to.

Designers design things to the best of their ability. Their clients may impose constraints (usually price), which means that things could be better than they are actually sold as. I'm sure some designers do modify things to the level they believe the design to work best at.

However, my point was just following on from your question about reviewer's systems. Designer's systems contain their own designs because they design them to the sound they like.

 

More question avoidance
you realy are quite a bore arent you.

 

Isaac,

Do you or do you not work with RW?

"Designer's systems contain their own designs because they design them to the sound they like."

I hope so... but why we have to like what they like? It's their sound not the band sound... I just want to hear my fav music not their version of my fav music, that's why I want an Hi-Fi system...

And if they are wrong, like they are with SACD and DVD-A?! Aren't they all slaves of the market?

The market are us... and is up to us to demand what we want, but to do so we must know what we really want. Do we really know what we want? Or we are following what others want...

 

Berry Dust,

I want to forget the system and imagine I have musicians playing for me. And listening to old valves with no negative feedback brought me closer to that than ever before, suggesting you are spouting Jacksons

 

You don't have to. You might not like the sound that designer X does, so you might not like their designs. Don't buy them. You might find that there is a designer you do like the sound of. Buy their stuff.

Your point about "their sound, band sound" is irrelevant. Any piece of kit, including your RA1062 has a characteristic sound. How about...

So, that's a sound asthetic that you like. It fulfills your other criteria also.

If you really know what you want then design your own stuff to do what you want. If you don't, you'll ALWAYS be following what someone else wants.

 

Ok great Witch... I hope you can keep your system this time... after all it is that good...

 

Isaac,

You are right... every piece of kit as a characteristic sound... but some have a much lesser one than others and I can measure it regarding amps.

The important thing is to have a goal and work in that direction...

I don't need to design my my own stuff as long as I know the designer's goal and as long as it can be measured...

 

Trying different bits of equipment is all part of the learning experience Berry. Maybe you should go down that route in the future if you want to add weight to your amusing proclaimations.

Still I doubt I would have bothered if I was only going to measure everything

 

Merlin,

I measure because I don't like what I'm hearing and because manufacturers don't do it, that's my learning experience...

And I'm starting to understand why I don't like what I hear to be able to get what I like to hear in order to not change equipment systematically. Not everyone have a friend who has an "Hi-fi" store... the rest of us must pay to hear... and still we are not pleased...

 

I'd go for mango juice personally

 

juice?
loose?
