| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters I am with MC on this one? Huh? That makes little sense. Except at low frequencies, with any large size conductor, the inductance will dominate over the resistance most of the time and the DF changes with frequency. b4icu477 posts01-21-2021 2:2... | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat So what you are saying is you have no clue. Look at your own post Opapa......***** I believe ***** that the same technology was used in the mats as was used in the PPT Total Contact contact enhancer. Judicial use of Tim Mrock’s graphene formul... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? One thought as well, before investing anything, spend $100 on a measurement microphone and learn how to use REW or something similar. We are not talking cables here where the difference if at all is debatable. Acoustics can provide measurable imp... | |
| Class D No one in their right mind would use a ferrite core coil in the midrange and tweeter xover of a serious speaker. Ferrite messes up the sound. So, why do we have ferrite coils on the output of all class D amps? It is because they are smaller,... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" It is unquestionable that MQA alters the sound, and that includes in the audio band. It forces a filter type on the DAC chain that many find unnatural, but music dependent could be beneficial (to some).They start with the ignorant notion that "pre... | |
| FYI Chinook Owners -- Diode Failures and Repair Upgrade By the way, (and I'm paraphrasing here), I think EveAnna mentioned that not everyone will have this issue. It does, however, occur over time. I thought it might be helpful for other owners to know this as--if you're like me--it's easy to get ... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters millercarbon7,408 posts01-21-2021 1:59amRemarkable the way people who have never heard them nevertheless know they can’t work. Sadly, I possess no powers that enable me to know how anything sounds by looking. Or measuring. The only cable measur... | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? I could use the best "looking" quality parts and make a total unreliable unit, and I could use no-name, but quality components from China and make a product that is highly reliable. If I saw a hand soldered PCB I would be leery of reliability but ... | |
| Blasphemy! I want an 1/3 octave EQ Well considering that no one ever stated that a poorly designed room with DSP was a good thing, you seem to be arguing with yourself. None of that changes that DSP makes for a better equalizer than analog for those 67 year old abused ears. | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? Audiophiles trust their ears .... except when they don't. | |
| FYI Chinook Owners -- Diode Failures and Repair Upgrade I don't think Miller would know a Schottky diode if it bit him on the behind.Stick to the Schottky diode. Schottky diodes are fast, and are every bit as soft as the HexFred (better really). The value in HexFreds comes in at higher voltages where ... | |
| I Just Inherited 4,000 LPs Made my day Elliott. Thank you for sharing.I am sure many would not understand the significance of what you inherited (people here will), but your friend passed along his happiness. It's a special gift.I am sorry for your loss, but think that will... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" I am sold. Even new it's not too bad. Seeing it for as low as $1,150. | |
| Blasphemy! I want an 1/3 octave EQ Yep...Schitt Yggdrasil....a superlative A/D. And i choose to disagree about best methods for room correction. IMO it is alway better to have a room that requires no DSP for room correction. But certainly deal with the physical domain fir... | |
| Blasphemy! I want an 1/3 octave EQ "Goldenear refs, Klipsch 15 sub, M&K 12”V125, Roon Nucleus. Oppo 103, Thorens TD165, Schiit Yggdrasil, Carver 275 amp, Prima Luna EVO preamp. "- Care to point out the A/D in that equipment list?The acoustics in my room are pretty spot on, a... |
