By Sophia Agathangelou: Inspiring first show at Cranage on fathers day
;) We're into DAC's, appreciate good sound from any source, couldn't
help admiring some of the love involved in this hand made deck. Check out our first place "BEST SOUND" award for this first time UK audiophile event. And other photo highlights.
By Angelo Agathangelou: A short introduction for the uninitiated. For those who missed it, there has been a revolution in audiophile technology.
DACs have revealed that humble CD’s were always vinyl’s equal, sadly
the dated concept of essentially using a light beam in place of a needle
and other shortcomings of the technology used until now conspired.
These issues have been traversed by replacing the record playing
mechanics of cd players with solid state ram buffers and the same
information available on your CD is now most conveniently on a solid
state hard drive. The results are the best music I have ever heard and I
have cared to hear for almost half a century.
Schools out and the only benefit of vinyl is nostalgia.
…That’s OK, there's a place for nostalgia, it’s just this reviewers
opinion that music lovers are finally able to enjoy their current
revolutionary music in a way that has been unavailable to the masses for
more than a generation. I definitely think we took a step back there
for a while and the lame stream continues to half step. That’s where
artisans like Lukasz Fikus have come to the rescue.
The famous Lampizator DAC4 generation3 was a revelation of the above and
I couldn’t bare to part from my own generation 4, …until now. It goes
like this, put a Lampizator DAC4 and Transport in between your computer
and Hi Fi gear and magic happens, you’ve got every ounce of vinyl
clarity but without the pops and scratches. This brings me to the all
new DAC7.
