gmgraves Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 5 hours ago, AudioDoctor said: LOL This is so misleading I don't even know where to begin... Show me where the SPDIF Coax output is here Jim? At least the MR2000 has some, but is this a playback device? Do you have less than 128gb of music you keep on the SSD of the MR2000 or do you put new music on it all the time? According to Korg, the MR2000 does not output DSD over Coax: "Coaxial Digital I/O for PCM sources integrates into existing production environments" Lastly, I feel bad for you that you can't hear the difference. You're right, I misspoke, and I probably should have been more specific. Of course, the DSD files have to be transferred from the recording device (MR1, MR2000) to the desktop via USB, but this is not the same thing as playing the files via USB. And I wasn't thinking about the fact that when I record via my MR2000, I generally use the PCM and not DSD settings and those are what I play back through the MR2K's coaxial SPDIF, not the DSD stuff. Sorry for any confusion. George Link to comment

It is impressive but, imho, not especially, hospitable. The box fan next to the listening area is speaks volumes! 30 tube amps, each one with 8 output tubes? that's 240 tubes! Can you imagine the size of the air conditioner required to make that place habitable while listening (and the fan suggests that however big it is, it's not enough)? Not to mention the the guy's electric bill! Remember the scene in Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation where he finally gets all the Christmas lights on his house working and somebody turns them on? Cut to a picture of his electric meter where the hands on the meter dials are spinning like airplane propellers and there's a rolling blackout occurring in the background? I imagine this guys electric meter must be similar. He probably has his own dedicated pole transformer outside his house and a dedicated mains circuit. I'll bet that his house registers with the electric company as an entire residential neighborhood, or perhaps a manufacturing facility! George Link to comment

Not to mention the the guy's electric bill! I was actually referring to the audio system's performance which might have been fine for movies but for music was disappointing. Lots of spread, immersion and weight but little focus or palpability. It must be added that my only visit was several years ago and who knows what might have been changed since then.

The Spanish left the Americas centuries ago. Things have changed a little since then. The Cubans use adobada and the Mexicans use adovada. At one Cuban restaurant in Miami I got served one huge, marinated pork chop! Most everywhere else in the world I’ve had it, it was cubed and marinated in the red chiles. Either way it makes my mouth water just to think about it. Yum! But I do not finish thanking Spain for the Paella.

I still remember one I had in 1978 in Miami that the friend who organized the dinner had to order a day or two in advance because it took that long for the restaurant to prepare.
