| Kimber 8TC beater? Slight correction to my previous post: The reference to "paralleling two 2-conductor pairs" should have said "paralleling two IDENTICAL 2-conductor pairs."HDM, thanks for the providing the reference. A statement in it that is worthy of note is: "C... | |
| Kimber 8TC beater? Paralleling two 2-conductor pairs that are not physically close to one another (each pair carrying + and -) will cut resistance and inductance in half, and will double capacitance.If the two pairs are contained within the same jacket, as in the ca... | |
| $10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back Some of the models from Daedalus Audio fall into your price range, and he will be exhibiting at the Capital Audio Fest. I and a number of other members here who own Daedalus speakers consider them to be very special.Regards,-- Al | |
| Kimber 8TC beater? Bombaywalla, thanks. Your post went up as I was composing this one, the latter part of which addresses Bruce's posts above. But first:Pc123v, have you tried both the 4 ohm and 8 ohm output taps on your amplifier? If not, I would suggest that you d... | |
| Regenerator, Balanced Power, or Power Cleaner? 07-13-14: Ivan_nosnibor... the closer you get to the edge of that 5% window (and beyond), the more noise will slip past the cancellation circuits and affect the sound...that general malaise that tells you it's feeling kinda sick (and not in a good... | |
| Sloped baffle Al -- you are always the voice of reason. What are your thoughts? Could this be transformational or is that un likely? Thanks, Bruce. I would certainly expect it to make a very major difference, and hence be "transformational." Having no experienc... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Brownsfan, thank you kindly. And I'll add for the benefit of others that if any differences were there to be perceived with the particular device you tried, in your particular high quality system, I have no doubt that you would have perceived them... | |

| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Correction to my previous post: "7-9-11" should have been "7-9-14," of course.Regards,-- Al | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? 07-12-14: JafreemanI spoke at length with my high-end retailer, here in MN, who swears by the Bedini Quad Clarifier. He states he never uploads a disc to his solid state drive or plays a CD that is not first placed in his Bedini. I trust this guy.... | |
| Sloped baffle Bruce, all of the DEQX models are indicated at their website as having 50K input impedances, for their balanced and unbalanced analog inputs.Best,-- Al | |
| Sloped baffle Yes, the DEQX units do seem very intriguing. And their pricing does seem very fair, as Psag indicated, especially given that they can be had with both preamp and DAC functionality.I believe that the Trinnov Amethyst offers somewhat comparable func... | |
| The cloud? ... Depending on the speed of your Internet access, this might take about half an eternity.Good point by Howard.For example, if your upload speed is say 5 megabits per second, and if that speed is not further limited by the web hosting server at t... | |
| Sloped baffle 07-08-14: BifwynneBombaywalla, sorry for the confusion. I'm referring to a driver's electrical, not mechanical, attributes. Rather than go off on a tangent, if Al catches these last few posts, he might be able to untangle what I'm trying to say.Br... |
