| What would happen if? ... those two fish that swam into a concrete wall. One turned to the other and said, Dam. LOL! No problem, bud.Regards,-- Al | |
| What would happen if? Regardless how any of the pairs of speakers were attached to the amp, only those who had both a positive and negative lead afixed to their binding posts directly from the corresponding ones on the amp would play/work.Yes. Of course. That is absolu... | |
| What would happen if? Blindjim -- With all due respect, you are missing the point. Your suggestion of disconnecting just one leg of the cable that is not being used DOES provide a complete circuit, that includes the other leg of that cable. Let's say that one of the tw... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in I am wondering if there is a general rule as to which direction any burn in would be headingSeems to me to be pretty logical that the answer would be no. Obviously it would be dependent on the type of component (amp, cd player, preamp, speaker, in... | |
| What would happen if? Following up on my previous comments about capacitance, consider the following calculation: Assume as a very rough ballpark that cable capacitance is 50 picofarads (pf) per foot, a typical number. Assume a 20 foot cable length. That gives a total ... | |
| What would happen if? I don't see any reason why you can't do that, and get reasonably valid results. Provided of course that, as many have said above, you make absolutely sure to avoid the possibility of a short circuit, and as long as connections are changed only wit... | |
| Using CD player without Preamp? Stan -- Thanks for your response. I took a look through the Audio Synthesis site, and I believe that their most relevant statement to this question was in a description of the DAX Decade D/A, which I think was a predecessor to the model you have:T... | |
| Need help picking a preamp. There are several 1990's or early 2000's Classe preamps that you can get used, in those price ranges, assuming you don't need a phono stage (I can't tell for sure whether or not you do based on a quick look at your component list). It may be possi... | |
| Telephones for Audiophiles? LOL!-- Al | |
| Telephones for Audiophiles? The digital sampling rate is so low thus the crappy soundI believe traditional analog landline phones have a bandwidth of 300Hz to 3.4kHz. Pretty narrow, but still quite capable of pleasing sound with a good mic and earpiece. I don't know what the... | |
| Telephones for Audiophiles? Emailists -- Thanks! I'll check it out.Regards,-- Al | |
| REL subwoofer cable Xti16 -- Yes, I respect what you are saying, and conventional, accepted specs certainly often don't tell the whole story. But I would submit that theorizing that better matching of the cable lengths between the subwoofers and the main speakers is ... | |
| REL subwoofer cable Xti16 -- Yes, that will bring some differences of opinion. I'm sure your sonic perceptions were correct, but your technical reasoning is not. The delay of an electrical signal through 35 feet of cable is, roughly speaking, on the order of 100 nano... | |
| REL subwoofer cable Coiling generally negatively affects high frequencies, but this should not be an issue for a subwoofer feed.Very true. Coiling increases inductance. The series impedance (something like resistance, putting it a little simplistically) which would r... | |
| Budget Low-Capacitance Interconnects Mingles -- That was an exceptionally good paper you linked to, by Bill Whitlock of Jensen Transformers. I say that as both an electrical engineer and an audiophile. Thanks for calling it to our attention. I think it does a remarkable job of explai... |
