| Does High End In Wall Speaker Wire Exist? Before you go ahead and hide speaker wires in the wall, set up the system with the wire and length you have in mind, and see what it sounds like.I think you will find that 25 feet is not a good idea for speaker cables, regardless of the brand or m... | |
| Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others.. Yello of course made a number of great LPs in the 1980s, but they are still around. Their latest, Touch (2009), will appeal to any Yello fan. They have continued to refine their craft! | |
| Electronics cleaner Once the switch has been sprayed (meaning that the spray got to the inside of the switch) it should be rapidly operated about 20-30 times, else the treatment will do no good. Deoxit is effective but should be used sparingly. The trick is to get th... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? When you bake a tape, it takes a few years for it to regain the moisture chased out while baked. IOW, you have plenty of time to work with the tape- certainly more than 48 hours.The reason you have to bake them has nothing to do with whale oil :) ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I am very used to hearing things that are hard to see on the oscilloscope. Interestingly, instrument manufacturers use a different rule for scanning a signal. The rule of thumb is 10x the highest frequency to be displayed.This is quite different f... | |

| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Out of curiosity, what was the analog set-up that you had to compare to the high dollar digital playback?The analog setup was a re-tipped Grasshopper 2, mounted on a Triplanar arm which was in turn on a Kuzma Stabi Reference. The arm was set up wi... | |

| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Dougdeacon, I think the thing I am reacting to in your posts is the word 'chaotic'. What meaning/context are you using that word? As in Chaos Theory? BTW that is the meaning that I used. I maintain that wood is relatively unquantified with regards... | |
| Actually difference between class A and AB? Mapman, I suspect that that is sort of true, at least I have hope for it but have yet to see a class D amp come anywhere close to what I expect out of an amp. I think the technology has more to offer than we have seen available so far though.Joeni... | |
| Phono Pre-amp with XLR Tdaudio, if the preamp is differential, but you only drive one input, perhaps the non-inverting input (with the other input being tied to ground, where the minus output of the cartridge is also tied), the gain will be exactly the same as if you we... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Yes, and at the same time a set of wood blocks can be quite loud, as can even a set of drum sticks. And they make instruments out of metal too- a dobro is a good example.The point is that wood is not **inherently** non-resonant. If its going to ha... | |
| Actually difference between class A and AB? Liguy, I have to disagree, despite Nelson's paper. The designation of 'AB' **already** "denotes that the amplifier operates in Class A up to a certain power level then switches over to Class B. This switch point is determined by the bias.", as you... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Its a matter of degree though. You could say that the record is made of individual molecules but they fit together perfectly and occur at a scale that makes it insignificant. Similar with digital. It all depends on sampling frequency, sample size,... | |
