| Best new loudspeaker if a spekaer reveals both musical and non musical information in a manner whcih is not realistic, then it is too revealing.(sic)Seems what you are describing here is something other than 'too revealing'; if it were me, I might describe that as a c... | |
| Reel 2 Reel I run an Ampex AG-440 transport with 351-2 electronics which have been updated and upgraded. I run both 1/4" and 1/2" heads running 2 tracks. Works great but it is kind of a pain to move :) | |
| Best new loudspeaker the speaker might be too revealing.Can a speaker or any other piece of equipment be 'too revealing'?? This is not something I've ever heard of before. Is it possible that you prefer equipment that is chosen with a preference for a lack of detail (... | |
| Could this be a Major Breakthough ? Hifisoundguy, if you are into better mileage, find a copy of the DVD 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' http://www.pluginamerica.org/wktec.shtml | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound Rodman99999, the clipping of an amplifier does produce a square wave, and those 'corners' are where the odd harmonics reside. If you compare a tube amp to a transistor amplifier when both are clipping, the much harder clip of the transistor amplif... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound Rodman99999, its OK. Square waves are by definition made up exclusively of odd-ordered harmonics of the fundamental waveform (that's why they can sound so obnoxious). Maybe I should have mentioned that earlier. | |
| Damping factor or watts? Rodman99999, on just about every speaker that I can think of, the suspension gets stretched as the speaker diaphragm moves away from the resting point. Furthermore, the speakers that have the most back EMF, i.e. the ones that are the most reactive... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound Rodman99999, it is easy enough to demonstrate that in fact odd-ordered harmonics are indeed what the human ear looks for as a loudness cue. Its an easy test.Get a sine/squarewave generator, an amp, a speaker and a VU meter. Run the sine through th... | |
| A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ? Eldartford, I'd love to hear about your results! | |
| Anyone recommend a neutral tube amp? Eagleman6722, if you look in the DIY forums, you will see that people are commonly swapping op-amp chips out in their equipment and projects because certain ICs have a 'sound' they are looking for or trying to reduce. This is not a tube/transistor... | |
| Damping factor or watts? Rodman99999, in the thread wherein I mentioned speaker cable length, I also mentioned 'characteristic impedance'.As to your earlier question, the answer is 'yes'. I can point to a number of other examples wherein we find that a mythology has been ... | |
| STEP UP transformers ?? If you plan to upgrade the phono preamp any time soon, I would hold off on the transformers until you have that preamp in hand. The Denon is not so low that you can't run it straight in with many preamps, and if you can do so it will be more trans... | |
| Best new loudspeaker MrTennis, I've played string bass since 7th grade, piano since I was 3 (I was getting lessons that early :/ ), guitar since 6th grade and flute since 6th grade. More recently I've added a variety of synthesizers... (http://www.myspace.com/salubrio... | |
| A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ? Eldartford, you mean, 'How come the propagation delay in an amplifier causes odd-ordered enhancement and not even ordered?'To answer this I think you have to look at the components of a square wave -odd ordered harmonics- and then look at what hap... | |
| Damping factor or watts? The idea of damping factor having an effect on the sound of a speaker is mostly myth. However, it is a bit tricky seperating myth from reality. Here's what is really going on:Almost any amplifier driving a speaker will have an output impedance tha... |
