| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW If you can't afford the Wilson Alexx V or XVX's... this is your lucky day ! https://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-specialties-sabrinax-loudspeakerThat's basically a set of ScanSpeak drivers that you can buy from Madisound for about $... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Of course if optimized then it may sound different. During playback, the audio file has to be "decompressed" or if you will "processed" by the CPU. Therefore it will have its own digital interference signature which will affect the DAC clock.Fil... | |
| Signal Jumping?? For DC current or low frequency current, then "no", but I wouldn’t use the word "jump". It’s a little bit complicated than that. These strands of wire are shorted together, so if there is current on one strand, then there will be current on other ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? The preliminary analysis tells us that there is no physical or material cause-and-effect relationship in the situation with optimizing the sound of audio files If you're talking about different file optimization, then sure it would have effects... | |
| Buying advice Arcam can sound somewhat "analytical". Kef probably has a metal dome tweeter. I myself have QED silver cables and they can sound bright. So I can understand your system might have a bright sound to it. Honestly I am not sure a $60 pair of cabl... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? I guess it depends on what you meant by "IDENTICAL". If two files are identical, using the same compress format (i.e. wave or flac ...), then for the most part they should sound the same.That is UNLESS, each file comes from a different source, fo... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Not sure why the OP made it more complicated than it has to be. Here is the bottom line:1. The DAC is a mix-signal : has to operate in digital and analog domain.2. The DAC needs a clock to clock out the data. The clock ideally has to be clean bu... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? It always is interesting to see how people resort to simple and basic reasoning in trying to understanding something as complicated as how humans perceive music. | |
| The best tweeter is no tweeter Most AMT will not have a good low frequency response compared to the typical dome tweeter, which means you have to cross them with a rather steep slope - most likely a 4th order slope. Having a high order slope in itself will have its own sound s... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... With all joking aside, I’m confident that from the listening position, a half dozen strategically placed throw pillows can influence sound more than any speaker wire, no matter how much it costs or which direction the arrows are pointing. It also ... | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Eliminating resistances of the inductors and phase shift and delay of the caps. Nope, you can't eliminate phase shift even with active. | |
| Speaker size and soundstage ^^^ The "strange noise" probably came from Glenn Gould himself :-) | |
| Speaker size and soundstage In general the bigger the speakers the bigger the soundstage. There are a few exceptions just like everything else in life. | |
| Audio Engineering Society and cables "The difference between low end and high end audio is what occurs below 40db"It's the low level details that make or break. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I actually agree that speakers are the most important component in the playback chain. Then you work your way back. Next would be your amp then preamp then the source. After that it would be the cables and interconnects. |
