I often read here and in reviews that a certain CD player (or other componentry) has good pace and excellent timing. While one player offers benefits such as natural timbre etc, etc, another player is noted for its timing (pace) and musicality. Can anyone explain what happens (or why) that one player is better for the latter two virtues over another?

Thanks

Well I guess it's either a stupid question or just too hard.



Fizzle!

Rantz,

I'll give it a shot. I would say that the timing and musicality of a player, or any component, has a lot to do with the combination of its ability to accurately reproduce the attack and decay of instruments along with an ability to reasonably simulate the dynamic range of live music.

Just a guess, but I think that in a CD player, it is largely the analog output stage, rather than any particular D to A chip or clock, that imparts these characteristics on the sound quality.

Thanks ctanaka - that wasn't a bad shot at all.

Anyone else want a shot?

I have a JVC GR-D22u that has just begun to show vertical lines of varying colors instead of the image. Playback of previous tapes unaffected. Any type of reset button or is this thing fried?

On a dark and moonless night, I was wandering throgh a graveyard, pondering the mysteries of audio CD players. I began to wistle, and just as the notes left my lips, I tripped over a JVC GR-D22u camcorder...
