| Active vs. regular speaker cable non active This is just my opinion so take it FWIW-I personally consider making cables tunable as a basic flaw. I've read some material from a particular manuf for the case for making speaker cables tunable but I do not buy into it at all. I've also a friend... | |
| Diversity of opinion over what Yes, I think that Jmcgrogan2 nailed it. I personally do not use the word synergy (it's a bad word in my vocubulary) but use 'impedance matching' instead but the undelying principal is the same. Electrically the amplifier must be able to drive the ... | |
| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? 05-31-12: PtmconsultingIs there a way to put someone on "auto-ignore" on these forums?LOL! yeah Audiofreak32 is turning out to be a consumate a-hole.he does not realize that the harder he peddles Linn DS the more people he is turning off... | |
| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? What I DO notice is that the article is >10 years old and doesn't deal specifically with the proprietary asynchronous USB technology developed by Gordon Rankin of Wavelength - which appears to address the jitter and clock issues inherent in the... | |
| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? yeah Audiofreak32 seems to rub people the wrong way a lot & he's done that in one too many threads. He (it does not look like it's a 'she') indulges himself in this audio forum but provides no useful information (which the very essence of bein... | |
| Robin Gibb R. I. P. yeah, you're right the Gibb brothers had some very bad luck with Andy, Maurice & now Robin Gibb. Some bad mojo in the family it looks like.I like their music too (tho' in this country (USA) disco seems to get a terrible rap).... | |
| Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends" is that a class-D amplifier is a very minor tweak of a switched-mode power supply (SMPS)05-22-12: KijankiBombaywalla - it is the other way around. Class D was invented tweaking SMPS.Kijanki, I think that we are saying the same thing.... :-) | |
| Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends" You will find PWM modulation in other places where it has nothing to do with efficiency. For instance SACD is the same as class D before filtering (operating at 2.8MHz). Also Sigma Delta DAC operates on the same principle.Kijanki, what you wrote i... | |
| Explain Class A amp to non audiophile friends OK, here's an explanation for your non-audiophile friends & for you:class-A amplifiers are a class of power amplifiers where the output transistors (or output stage) driving the loud speakers are always on & are always dissipating the maxi... | |
| Best Jazz pianist Another person I like (who plays in the same vein as Oscar Peterson) is Gene Harris. Some of his works are really very good - you often ask "is that Oscar P playing?".... | |
| Need understanding on amperage agree, Dhl93449 calculations showed the delta-V (or droop) across the power supply cap to be 24V meaning that the final voltage after 10mS would be 80V-24V=56V but at this point in time the fuse would have blown (per the Littlefuse data sheet) as ... | |
| Do your speakers have enough "freshness" Golly 'fresh' is such a lame term to use to describe anything to do with speakers! I would like to know if it's not asking too much how you even came up with the adjective 'fresh' for speakers??Surely you could have trolled the extensive audiogon ... | |
| Do glass shelves affect sound Quality? like some of the other members I use a bit of glass under my CDP & have not had any issues with the sound for the last 10 years. I tried granite & marble - both made the sound harsh. I know why. I also tried a teak wooden shelf & that ... | |
| Got Noise? 05-10-12: DodgealumI played around a little last night and here is where we are:I confirmed that the noise is ONLY present when the amp is on. I can turn on any/all other components and don't hear the hissing sound......According to me, you'll onl... | |
