| 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... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? LOLZ. I’m surprised it took you so long to delete my post. Though it was totally deserved. But you didn’t ban me from the forum? What’s wrong with you peeps? Seriously, what’s wrong with you? :->)What's wrong with a lot of people on this foru... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? If there was some mysterious type of "inharmonic" distortion, other than IMD or jitter or aliasing which are all known and understood, I’d have seen it by now in an FFT. There is no such thing. If you believe otherwise, please post an FFT showing ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The advantage of running 25 foot speaker wires underground is no one will step on them as they cross the room. This would be a good example of how to benefit from balanced line operation; running long speaker cables usually results in a loss of d... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Competent digital converters (ie: CD quality at 16/44) have typical distortion less than 0.01 percent at all audible frequencies right up to the point of hard clipping. I'll be glad to see your real world distortion numbers for sine waves on a... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? $100 says none of these believers will ever post a measurement or other proof showing the affects of vibration.I've posted this before Ethan, but this is a long thread and I don't blame you for not wanting to wade through it.I own a Scully LP mast... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? If a speaker is good for rock its also good at jazz and classical. There is no such thing as a speaker that does rock better than other forms of music. This is one of the biggest myths in audio.About all that is being said here is that a speaker n... | |
| Tube Physics Question The Tiger was overpowered. A friend of mine had one with a 350 in it. Yikes! | |
| Class D Technology The snag class D still deals with is the control loop (feedback). Its easy enough to build a class D amp that does not use loop feedback. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? For the record, I still use my Pioneer receiver, and it cost all of $150 at Costco. It offers six reasonably hefty power amps with max distortion of 0.1 percent. This is not great, but it’s surely better than any tube amplifier! At full output... |
