| Tweeter Distortion As I was reading the replies in this thread, I was thinking that the probability that the speakers are bad was going to be low. It's hard to destroy speaker drivers - you have to try hard quite with destruction on your mind. It's possible to do bu... | |
| asymmetric apodizing filter The word "apodization" literally means "cutting off the foot" but in signal processing & in optics it is a technical term that means adjusting signal using a windowing function so that the resulting adjusted signal shows some favourable proper... | |
| Anyone in Cincinnati, OH? Brian, just from the feedback provided by the others. How does finding a few good people make Cincinnati a good town - according to your post?BTW, I'm NOT trying to discredit Cincinnati by any stretch of the imagination so don't get me wrong here.... | |
| Anyone in Cincinnati, OH? sounds like a depressing place....... | |
| Headphone amp combo ideas? 04-29-12: PodeschiHeadline looks cool - never heard it before. I imagine Naims pace and punch would be a good match. It's specs show it should easily drive 600 ohm T1s. Nice thing about Beyerdynamic A1 head amp is I bet they voiced te T1s with it,... | |
| Increasing height of stand-mount -- what to expect Usually speaker manuf design speakers such that the woofer distance from the floor is a specific amount. This relates to the woofer coupling to the floor for the intended bass response. Moving the speaker up chnages this distance & chnages the... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Here's the most interesting part: Increasing the bias also improves the sound quality. A LOT. good call Elizabeth! right on the money.....Yes, increase in bias for a class-A will improve sound quality. This is a well-known fact. It is not used by ... | |
| I think my speakers are killing my amps. you know, planar speakers (electro-static or true ribbon or quasi ribbon) could be a very capacitative load to the power amp. This means that, due to this highly capacitative load, the power amp could break out into ultrasonic oscillations. As a s... | |
| Martin Logan Spires or Magnepan 3.7? looks like this is a change for the sake of a change & that there's nothing insufficient in the M-L Spire for your particular listening needs.I was never an advocate of change for the sake of change but then the audio industry survives on this... | |
| size of the driver You can add 6dB for a floor mounted woofer (as in many 3-ways), 6dB if there are a pair of bass drivers, and 6dB at the cross-over point to a sub-woofer....Drew, why are you adding 6dB? It's power output, you should be adding 3dB in each case. | |
| DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog 04-26-12: Ivan_nosniborHi Robert, whether going digital or analog with attenuation it's all really about the impedance matching. please explain this statement as I do not understand how digital attenuation & impedance matching of source & ... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? …but what about these…3. ???????? = greater perceived resolution4. ???????? = more realistic instrument timbres5. ???????? = more precise imagingI believe that several before me have already hinted strongly at it - lower distortion equals better r... | |
| Focus on 24/192 Misguided?..... 04-23-12: Audiofreak32To summarize....I guess we have concluded just the opposite - that 24/192 is a VERY GOOD idea actually,....I don't know how you concluded this? I concluded that there is no need for 24/192 - 24/96 suffices as it solves the is... | |
| Focus on 24/192 Misguided?..... Kijanki, u could have answered your own question about ultrasonics from 192K sampling now that you have answered the question of power bandwidths of power amps. Now you can see why a power amp would be nonlinear in the ultrasonic range & why t... | |
| Focus on 24/192 Misguided?..... Kijanki thanx for that info on power amp freq bandwidth. I suppose that many more amps are higher freq bandwidth than I imagined but I don't know how many of these have the same number for power bandwidth? Any idea? |
