    Thanks, Lee. I appreciate your remembering the RRM involvement in advancing SACD as a format. It was very interesting to be involved at the time.

    Hi Barry, I was rushing to reply to you, and on reflection, what I said wasn't really relevant to your question. I was preoccupied with a project and crossed wires, so to speak, so please excuse my post. It looks like you have good instincts about developing your system, and make good choices...

    Thanks, Barry. Just to add that the traditional approach is to mix and match equipment to get the most satisfying results. My work is to design complete systems that achieve specific goals. In my experience, the complete system approach is able to achieve much more than the mix and match...

    Hi Barry, I am the wrong person to ask about this. I barely have time to develop Daniel Hertz products, and have no familiarity with the kind of system development that you are doing. Wish I could advise you, but I am not qualified. Mark

    Daniel Hertz "Master Class" Software from Mark Levinson

    I have not yet posted any original/master class-ed files. A collection of original and MC music files will soon be available at www.danielhertz.com for free download. I made a Master Class (MC) file for Peter Breuninger that he posted, I assume it is ok but have not checked it. It is important...

    Please add "Levinson" to the Manufacturers section

    Hi Steve, OK to all points. I appreciate your comments. I normally never mention other manufacturers, but have been impressed by the candor on the thread and the open discussion including allegations about the products and policies of Red Rose Music. With this in mind, I thought to bring up a...

    Please add "Levinson" to the Manufacturers section

    To WBT, Levinson is not a manufacturer. Levinson is my last name. "Mark Levinson" is a brand name - products made by Harman - and belongs in the manufacturer's section. "Mark Levinson" is a trade name not affiliated with me since 1980. I am free to use my name in association with all products...

    Daniel Hertz "Master Class" Software from Mark Levinson

    Hi Miles, Thanks for your interest in the relationship between Audio Prism and Red Rose Music. The whole story is too much to write at the moment. Briefly, Audio Prism in Redmond, WA became part of Red Rose Music and manufactured products at their facility based on Audio Prism designs as well...

    Daniel Hertz "Master Class" Software from Mark Levinson

    Allegations about Red Rose Music equipment were generated by people who wished to discredit the company and me. Red Rose Music products provide amazing sound that is a joy to owners today, 10 -14 years after they were made, and outperform many current speakers and amplifiers that are highly...

    Daniel Hertz Master Class Test- AVShowrooms

    Hi Peter, I appreciate your turning me on to Nima Ben David's wonderful music and excellent recording. We played the Master Class version of the first track for many people at T.H.E. Show, and it was a big hit. Her music is very special, and the original recording needs very little adjustment...

    Daniel Hertz Master Class Test- AVShowrooms

    Hi Alexandre, Thanks for your willingness to audition the tracks. You probably mixed up the tracks. The Master Class track has significantly more high frequency content than the original. If the sound is muffled, as you say, it is the original track. Overall, your playback system may want a...
