| I need some amplifier help am I losing a lot of signal splitting the lefts and rights coming out of the preampYou are not "losing signal," but there is a possibility that you could be introducing some degree of frequency response irregularity. There are two possible issues:... | |
| Did anyone experience Audio Prism's Ground Control Budp 2/25/10: if you have poured ground planes in all of your equipment in the amplification chain, or you have a fully differential amplifier, without direct reference to true ground, they will not provide you with any benefit. Ozzy 4/28/10: Well... | |
| Subwoofers - Grille off or on? Statements that use the word "always" without qualification are always wrong. :)-- Al | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions I am using the Zerostat by Dishwasher to rid my record of static. Period.... That's all this unit does and nothing more. I agree. What it does is to eliminate static which in turn would attract dust while the record is exposed.The instructions wit... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Eldartford: The best illustration of what my set of large subwoofer drivers can do is to play pipe organ music. Not all organ music has loud bass, but when it does you should FEEL it in your stomach, and my system does achieve this. Also, when the... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Guido -- Pending Muralman's answer, if you don't already have it do try to find and purchase Horenstein's performance as remastered on Chesky (CD31). I would apply Muralman's words identically to that recording, and you will not believe that it wa... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Weseixas: In the past , many moons ago , i used to measure avg usually 82-88db , crescendos sometimes hit a peak of 109 db from row 7. DOB: The answer to this interesting question lies in the attendance of classical music concerts particularly orc... | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? Does 'Ground Plane' enter into any of this? Audio Prism seems to say so, while admitting that they don't fully understand it, but that strikes me as nonsense. From the review, quoting one of their partners:We believe it provides a ground reference... | |
| 2A3 Set power amp Audiofeil is correct, of course. You have undoubtedly been listening to recordings that have very limited dynamic range (meaning a very small difference in volume between the softest notes and the loudest notes). Try some well recorded wide dynami... | |
| Dream system - but no aftermarket power cords I cannot use balanced connections to the amps because I need the low frequency separation at the subwoofer (so there is only the preamp-RCA-subwoofer-RCA-poweramp route or putting the subwoofer in the chain after the poweramps using the speaker wi... | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? How could it possibly make a difference?In a proper system it carries NO current and NO signal, right?Hi Magfan,Along the lines of my earlier comment, it seems clear to me that it is designed to act as a form of loop antenna, tuned by means of its... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Line -- Yes, I have two or three binaural recordings from the 1980's, and they are indeed awesome! Too bad that a lot more recordings aren't done that way. I think though that the subjective results they provide will vary significantly from listen... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Line -- That was a good reference you provided earlier. However what I think you are overlooking is that if the room is truly "flat," in whatever way that is best defined (taking into account both frequency response and arrival times), and the res... | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? I have some that are 2.5 inches loop length 5 inch long total cable and they sound better than the 12 or 14 inch cables. Five inches just happens to be the wavelength in free space of a 2.4GHz WiFi signal. It also corresponds roughly to the wavele... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Al, what you describe seems to me to be an argument against the goal of a system that measures flat in-room since the measuring is inaccurate, unless there's some measurement device that avoids or compensates for reflected sound.Yes, exactly, alth... |
