| Mid life crisis yields open check from the wife. Almarg, How do I delete a new thread?It wasn't me who suggested that you do so. Also, I suspect that the only way in which that can be done, at least once others have posted responses, is to email the moderators (via the Help menu at the top of th... | |
| Mid life crisis yields open check from the wife. Among monitor speakers, although I haven't heard it, based on experiences that have been reported here by members whose opinions I particularly respect I would suggest that you consider the Coincident Triumph Extreme II ($4K including stands, new)... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? The somewhat low efficiency of your speakers (about 85 db at 1 meter on a per watt basis, which can be inferred from the measurements here), in combination with the 0.3 mv rated output of your cartridge and the approximately 0.32 volt sensitivity ... | |
| Martin Logan woofer amplification My guess is that the reviewer of the Summit was using the word "bipolar" in a very loose sense, perhaps without fully understanding what a "bipolar amplifier" is. For that matter, I don't fully understand what it is :-), and it seems like ambiguou... | |
| Martin Logan woofer amplification Op amps ("operational amplifiers") are not power amplifiers, they are small signal devices used in line-level and other low power circuitry. However it is quite possible that the input circuit or other circuitry that is "ahead" of the power stage ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I've performed the experiment I indicated I would be doing to investigate the glitch at 0.7 ms which was evident in the measurements I posted the other day, as well as in the measurements I described taking from other distances. What I did today w... | |
| MM cartridges A point to keep in mind in connection with both the AT-150MLX and the Aida is that their recommended load capacitance is 100 to 200 pf. That is low enough to be problematical with some combinations of phono stages and phono cables, especially if t... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Andrew (Drewan) thanks for the clarification. That would certainly explain why your group delay plot appears as it does. Also, I note that the excursions in the plot appear to be greatest in the vicinity of what is probably the crossover point bet... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? P.S. to my last paragraph above: Bruce, I think that in my step response plot (the expanded version, covering the first 10 ms) there may be a natural tendency to judge the time alignments of the drivers based on the zero crossings of the waveform,... | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? Does the file explorer in Windows show a list of the files that are on the DVD's?Also, this data recovery program may be helpful.Good luck. Regards,-- Al | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks for the responses, gentlemen. And thanks, Andrew (Drewan) for providing your measurements for comparison.Kotjac, I suspect that you're right. Tomorrow I'll probably make a quick experimental measurement with the speakers in their normal pos... | |
| receptacles Deepak, I took a look at descriptions and various writeups on the equipment you indicated you are using. A couple of questions: By any chance is your listening position such that your ears are more than a few inches above or below tweeter level? A... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue Integrated - Help Needed Sorry to hear the problem is still there, Rob. Yes, the Ohmite Audio Gold resistors would be fine choices for this purpose, preferably in the non-inductive version that is indicated as being available. However, I couldn't find them indicated as be... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? P.S. to my post just above: When I said ...What strikes me as perhaps the most significant concern, that I see initially, is the spike in the impulse response occurring just 0.7 ms after the direct sound arrival. I'm not sure what that is, althoug... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I finally found the time today to re-do my speaker measurements, as I had previously indicated I was planning to do. A link to photos of the measurement setup and screenshots of some of the measurements is provided further down in this post. Once ... |
