He meant how it sounded, not measured🙂

And I merely pointed out that yes, anybody clearly can comment (and probably has) on which one sounds better... 🙂

So, any insights ?

Nord's latest buffer, with SIL994 sounds much better, more musical (whatever that means).
I have both buffers.

If it's not better on paper it's not better. IC opamps are great on paper and that's all that matters.

And in other shocking news, turns out some people prefer blondes, while others prefer redheads or brunettes. 🙂

No way! Sounds like you've had a revelation🙂

It has been debated to a bitter end, and the conclusion is that people have different tastes and preferences, and no real objective comparisons have been made.

Has someone hacked your account? Or has that Amsterdam weed taken you to a new plateau?

Do you think that would improve sound quality? How much, in numerical terms?

??? If you don't know what it means how can you have an opinion on whether it's better?

And I know a very reputable OEM which prefers IC op amps by NJR in their input buffers.

Good to see Julf and Bavmike are still at it.

Since when has knowing something been a requirement for having an opinion? 🙂

Well, someone has to keep up the level of conversation...

If you want to play with words, at least read them first.

You too 🙂.

Anyone can have an opinion.
When you know something for sure, then you just describe a fact.

 

[SGK]

Oh I read them well enough. You provided an opinion, in a comment, as to the quality of the Nord buffer with respect to an adjective "musical" which you openly professed does not have a defined meaning. Or perhaps you were so bold as to say it is more "musical" for any and all possible reader definitions of "musical". A very bold view indeed. 🙂

Gosh, I thought the topic of SMSPs blowing up (the other Hypex thread) much more interesting.
