| What power conditioner will help in my situation? Yes, I agree that trying a long extension cord running to a different room should be the first thing that you should do, at least as an experiment.But can you clarify what you mean when you say "when I change the fan speed there is a low frequency... | |
| CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ? Steve (Audioengr), I'm not sure that we're interpreting the question the same way. My interpretation is that what is being asked is if playing a computer file from a computer-based source will sound any different depending on whether the physical ... | |
| Power Cables diminishing returns The more resolving, ie better, a system is , the easier it is to hear differences ...This assumes that the designs of the components in the system that is more musically resolving are such that the system is also more sensitive to AC differences. ... | |
| CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ? 08-08-13: MapmanThe D/A process (which requires very accurate and precise timing to be done properly) is where pretty much all of the variability comes into play regarding resulting sound quality. I second Mapman's comment. Pretty much everything ... | |
| Power Cables diminishing returns Just like prescription medications which cost six cents a pill to make and sell for $700 for 30...I wouldn't draw any parallels with power cords, though. According to this article in Forbes research and development expenditures by a dozen major dr... | |
| Can a single terminal speaker be bi-amped? Seconding Mechans' comment, when the two amplifiers are paralleled, to the extent that each of them is "trying" to put out a signal that is not absolutely identical to the signal that the other amp is "trying" to put out they will each be forced t... | |
| How Do You Calculate Watts Per Channel? Mitch, thanks!08-06-13: Hk_fanIn your first scenario the full 400W are being SHARED among all the drivers.For sake of simplicity lets say there are 2 drivers, and assume that they have exactly the same impedance and efficiency. Therefore the two d... | |
| Power Cables diminishing returns But Schubert, if how this stuff works can't be technically explained, or can only be partially explained, upon what principles and upon what basis do the designers of the power cords design them?The likely answer, as I see it: Upon some combinatio... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth, you're welcome, and thanks for the nice words. Good luck in your quest!Regards,-- Al | |
| How Do You Calculate Watts Per Channel? Hk_fan, in case it's not clear my last point has nothing to do with impedance swings, and holds true even if the speakers are a perfect 8 ohm load at all frequencies.To further clarify my last point, consider the situation in which the speakers ar... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth, as always there are tradeoffs. If the cable connecting a transport and DAC is not both good quality and a good match for the two specific components it can certainly have major adverse effects on the sound. And whether or not it wi... | |
| External HD VS Flash Drive Sound Quality Question Audiolabyrinth, I've done as you requested.Regards,-- Al | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth asked me to post in this thread the following comment I made in another thread:08-04-13: AlmargWhat made me think of the question when I posted is that with 2 piece cd players I've always heard HUGE differences between digital cable... | |
| Lightening and Tuner Display I don't see anything surprising about that. Lightning (not "lightening," btw) produces large amounts of airborne RFI (radio frequency interference). A good illustration of that is the static that can be heard on AM radios when lightning is in the ... | |
| increase power amp sensitivity Phono Input is probably set-up for MM cartridge and you can change resistor value. The sensitivity of the phono input won't change.I believe that the OP's reference to "phono input" was referring to the connector type (RCA), not to the signal type... |
