acidbasement Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 The Black Gates upgrade will provide 130% more sound quality, for a mere 100% increase in total cost. Quote
postjack Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 The Black Gates upgrade will provide 130% more sound quality, for a mere 100% increase in total cost. they also add an effortless, grain-free quality to the music. the end result is silky smooth, allowing you to look deeply into the recording. but its never harsh!

Grahame Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 Avoiding that digital glare? Almost analogue sounding? How many veils does it lift? Quote
nikongod Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 N^plankton veils. Where N is the bit depth of the analog signal. This is how many. 1 Quote
postjack Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 Avoiding that digital glare? Almost analogue sounding? How many veils does it lift? 1) Zero digital glare, it makes redbook recordings sound like high res 2) High res recordings sound like vinyl 3) Recordings I thought I knew well have the veil(s) lifted, its like the music orgasms all over my face Quote

Grahame Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Was waiting for "blacker; none more" Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Waiting for "veils? It's like being flensed. It's like having the skin flayed off your soul. It's like...wait, too much?" Quote
justin Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) my black pono came today. time for ebay maybe.. the packaging is awesome, though i always find the over the top use of recycled/"sustainable" materials to be ironic considering this device duplicates functionality that people already have it's a bamboo box with "pono" burned into the top and a lid that slides off. it's about the size of a coffin for a small rat. Underneath is the pono player and more bamboo pieces glued in place to support the player and charger. Edited December 12, 2014 by justin Quote
