| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I don't know what a "bent" transfer function is, but I'd need to know the specifics of the test. What frequencies, what levels, what amounts of each distortion type, and so forth. I know you can do the opposite: create more IMD than THD using a... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I doubt it, though I'll be glad to be proven wrong!Cripes...If you don't want to read through the whole thing, just scroll to the bottomhttp://www.stereophile.com/content/lamm-ml22-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurementsHeck, I'll quote it:(from St... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? whenever you have harmonic distortion (THD) you also have similar amounts of IM distortion (IMD). This statement is misleading. You can have a fair amount of THD and still have relatively low IMD figures. This is however a very common saw and oft... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, I read your posts several times. You didn’t describe a test you’re willing to take. Rather, you wasted several paragraph explaining why it’s impossible to devise such a test: Your cassette deck needs new rollers, a special platform must be ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, this is very simple, and you have danced around it repeatedly:If the "digital" artifacts you refer to are loud enough to be audible, then how come they don't show up in a standard FFT measurement? Or in a standard THD test that nulls the... | |
| Class D Technology call me stupid but what do you mean by a "Output Filter" ? A L/C for you amp? Thanks, I am thinking about a Bel Canto but have never heard them.Class D amps usually have an L/C filter at their outputs to prevent radiation of their switching frequ... | |
| 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... |
