Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems My journey with Meridian (and Shunyata, AQVOX etc)

Of course. It's another area in which I find Bob Stuart's approach enlightening. He is highly versed in psychoacoustics and therefore completely aware of expectation bias, etc. He wrote an intriguing article about this kind of thing years ago in The Absolute Sound and I posted a link at the time. I'll repost now, as it seems relevant to much of the recent discussions, and it's fascinating anyway in terms of measurement vs. listening, etc., when Meridian go about designing their products Bob Stuart TAS interview.

It's hard to say, really in terms of how many. My own perception is that interest in room treatment has been growing for a few years now, and I believe that's a beneficial thing. However, my personal experience is it hasn't necessarily outweighed other changes which one might assume would be less influential. I can't speak for others, though.

In context that's a separate sentence, which is referring to a different point. However, I direct you back to another comment from Bob where he clearly states a 'digital interconnect' can make a difference, which I posted on a recent thread - "Stuart has been working with digital since the early days, and he started with this, "You will have readers who disagree, and that's fine. Everything makes a difference. Which is best? Well, that sort of depends on the DAC and the source (is it a server, PC or optical disc?) as well as the interface and even the digital interconnect cable. The better the rendering device (DAC), the smaller the difference."[/quote]
