A few recommendation of recordings for evaluating Clarity Headphone Amplifier

Ririko's Violin Piece Collections are all stereo recorded very well. You hear the violin moving around while she was playing. The instrument used is also a Stradivarius "Lord Borwick" (1702). Note that the first video is a playlist including 160 pieces. This recording of Vivaldi Winter is probably the best on the internet in terms of audio technical perspective. Saturday Night Live in recent years all have very good stereo recording. Turn the CLEAR SOUND switch ON on Clarity Headphone Amplifier, and enjoy the surround sound. Hear the drastic differences in sound stage of the audiences' laughs. The Echo Game…

Something about analog oscilloscope

Jim Williams once wrote quite some about the benefits of analog oscilloscope. Considering digital oscilloscope also evolved quite a bit since he passed away more 10 years ago, some of the claim may not be true anymore. Nevertheless, here are a few cases, analog scopes show their benefits. 1. Difference of 1.000MHz vs 1.001MHz generated by 40MSPS DAC. The below two screenshots showed some clear distinction between the two signals, which would be quite hard to acquire from modern digital oscilloscopes. The left one shows the peak of a 8Vpp 1.0001 MHz sine wave, the right one shows a 8Vpp…
