When
David met Goliath, it
wasn't reputation or size that mattered. This new player has the potential
to turn expectations up-side-down. Sony based, this JLTi SACD/Multi-Player
does CD and Super Audio CD, DVD-A as well as 24/96 DVD DAD disks.
With
your regular CDs, you will find that you have a music library ready to be
listened to all over again. SACDs will enthral you as their real potential
is released.
Terra
Firma AN ALTERNATIVE TO
ATOMIC CLOCKS
Features:
-
The
Reference Clock with the Terra Firma
Upgrade
-
Custom Output Stage
-
Back-EMF Noise Reduction
The “Reference Clock”
incorporating Terra Firma is not just another clock
upgrade. A new and
key design by our team from Vacuum State (www.vacuumstate.com)
and used by permission. Not just of the highest
quality but also incorporates a unique power supply, with extraordinary
low frequency bandwidth and has rock like stability. Our finding that Low
Frequency jitter is sonically more serious is not in itself unique, but
that jitter down to sub-One Hertz is critical and usually noise in the
power supply at ultra-low frequencies is far more serious than previously
thought. Only by actively seeking and finding a solution (because the
problem is largely unmeasurable) will it then
become apparent by listening. LF noise performance in the Reference Clock
easily surpasses even batteries.
Eliminating the entire
IC based analog output stage and replacing it
with our Custom Output
Stage, using minimum number
of components and filtering. There is no
artificial boost of the signal in the post-DAC circuit, so a preamp or
integrated with preamp is preferable. These components are chosen with extreme
care and incorporate a tuned (by ear and not by
numbers) filter with precise impedance and is
designed to work into 10K or more.
Major reduction of
back-EMF noise in digital circuits. Grossly
overlooked and underestimated problem, often not
fully understood until the results are heard. Even the most expensive
players on the market are inadequate, so much so that any player
can be improved by just tackling this problem
alone. Using our methods the digital circuits are damped by shunting the
noise into the player's
ground plane and out of harms way. The sonic gains and
stunning increase in focus and fluidness are immediately obvious.
This new JLTi Multi-Player
can be compared to the best players available and not really in
consideration to its price. By all means compare it with any other players
up to 10 times or more.
Let your ear
be your final arbiter.
Happy listening.
The Reference Clock, and
now Terra Firma enhanced, is a break-through Clock technology.
While low frequency jitter (jitter is frequency spectrum selective) is known to be
critical and the kind of jitter to have severest and worst affect on digital replay,
something has clearly not been fully understood:
It can NOW be demonstrated that even SUB-sonic
jitter kills dynamics, tonality and sheer presence of the music in
a fundamental way that is hard to put into words. Those who have heard it,
even hardcore retailers who hear all sort of ambit claims (yawn) are
excited when they hear this.
The Reference Clock/Terra
Firma is are
Vacuum State developments, the only Clock that controls low
frequency noise that induces jitter, even at SUB ONE HERTZ.
Correct, actually down to millionths of a Hertz. The results is reducing
noise that can hardly be measured. Even the best batteries, often praised,
do not even approach the Terra Firma enhanced Reference Clock. Indeed batteries
are woefully inadequate and have a rising
noise spectrum at low frequencies. Noise equals jitter and the lower
the frequency of the noise, the more audible the jitter.
Here
is a universal player that can now compete against CD or SACD players
available at any price. Yes, even with exalted player
costing ten times as much, this player will reveal a pedigree that will
stun in any company.
Great bargains in audio like this are very rare
indeed and shows that SOTA performance need not make you bankrupt.
For the more technically minded: JLTi's version of
the new Reference Clock has an approximate time constant of 14 hours, that is a cycling
rate of one per fifty thousand seconds (1/0.00002 = 5000). This Low Pass filter with a
corner off 0.00002 Hertz swallows up noise like a little black hole. The
result is an ultra stable clock.
