| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? But really, your claim is disingenuous on its face. All my Artifact Audibility test attempts to show is at what level below music a nasty sounding artifact can be heard. It has nothing to do with digital always adding disturbing artifacts, or w... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @2channel8 I'm thinking I've not seen the newer one yet. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Hey wait, I have an idea! Tell me if you agree before I spend the hour or so this will take: I'll prepare clips of the same two examples in my Audibility article, but they'll be longer and I won't tell you there the nasty noise starts and stops... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Have you ever done tests like this? I have, many times. I wish more people would! Here’s one that plays a very nasty harsh noise under gentle classical music, and then under a synthesizer based pop tune:http://ethanwiner.com/audibility.htmlI fi... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, aliasing should be included within a typical "THD plus noise" spec, and I see no reason to call it out separately. Harmonic, inharmonic, IMO it’s okay for all artifacts to be lumped together. If the sum of them all is below 80-90 dB, none o... | |
| Tube integrateds and Electrostatic Speakers Many ML speakers have a very low impedance at high frequencies. You might find a set of ZEROs helpful in dealing with the load. I would try the amp 'with' and 'without'.www.zeroimpedance.com | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? ah, so it's a mix of science and anti audiophile conservative dogma? You take the good with the bad. Like any organization that has people in it, its going to have politics and outright flimflam. No-one's perfect. But their goal is good engineerin... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Digital systems do have aliasing, and that's like IMD except one of the source frequencies is the sample rate. So you can get aliasing with only a single pure tone. I guess you could call is inharmonic distortion but I'd rather call it what it ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? But isn’t AES actually an anti audiophile organization?Seems to me Stanley Lipshitz first presented his formulae on creating RIAA EQ curves to the AES. They also have that File 48 (balanced line standard) I like to trot out. Baby and the bathwate... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? But what that argument misses is whenever you have THD you also have IMD.This statement is a bit misleading but is not false. The problem here is that there is often an idea that if you have high THD you must also have high IMD and that is the par... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? The very definition of high fidelity is a flat response and low distortion. Yes, many fabulous recordings have been made on old school analog equipment. But that equipment has lower fidelity than even consumer-grade modern digital converters. Et... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? repectfully. disagreemonitors do matter at every step in the chainthey vary widelya ton of classic rock was recorded and mastered with big JBL's with a host of strengths and known issues. The West coast sound is not a myth.You're not actually di... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I’ll email you about my project because I imagine you’ll find it interesting. And maybe you’ll be around for a phone call over the holiday "dead" week between Xmas and New Years? I'm sure we do in fact agree on 90+ percent of this stuff!I'm usu... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, I absolutely do not think I know everything. I do think that everything that affects audio fidelity is known, and so there’s no mystery, but I know very well that I don’t know everything. A list of just what I know that I don’t know woul... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? i do not nessesarily agree....first we have the problem of what it was mixed and mastered to sound like....so IF the studio is using NS1000 as the be all end all monitor well...the reults are going to vary...or a big JBL with a 8" or larger pap... |
