| damping factor Slew rate is just as important(the amps ability to recover after a hard bass note).I believe that you're correct - slew rate can give the buyer/user an idea of the power amp's bandwidth.What you wrote was re. transient decay (post event) but slew ... | |
| damping factor 05-27-11: ElizabethThe damping factor is the 'control' the amp has of the woofer movement. When the amp has a signal that moves the woofer and then the other way, the damping factor is the control the amp has to "HOLD" on to the cone and not allow... | |

| Help need speaker to match Threshold 4000 amp.... 05-19-11: PescolarBombaywalla,Any tube pre-amp recommendation mating my Threshold 4000.How about Cary Slp-98 (output impedance 400 ohms)Thanks.pescolarlooking at the specs only, the Cary SLP-98 looks like a good match. Anyway you can audition it/t... | |
| Help need speaker to match Threshold 4000 amp.... watch out for the really high output impedance of the ARC preamps that might make it very diff to mate to the very low inp impedance of the Threshold 4000. The result will be very lack-lustre sonics.FWIW. | |
| pure ipod dock 05-19-11: BadwisdomBombaywalla,i know that Accuphase and Wadia players have this kind of digital control, but whats weird on the Pure dock is that only latest iPod generation allow for that volume control, its completely disabled on ipod touch and... | |
| pure ipod dock 05-18-11: BadwisdomCan anyone explain how the pure dock allows volume control on a supposedly all digital signal ???? How is that possible ??? your mind is stuck in the analog domain method of volume control which you are trying to attach to a dig... | |
| pure ipod dock .....The Pure has its own internal DAC, so it takes the pure digital feed from the Ipod and runs it through a better DAC. Only the pure and the Wadia do this as far as I know.I believe that your sentence is not true - the Wadia only buffers the an... | |

| The downward spiral..... Good to read that you reached sonic nirvana in this life-time: most people do not! Also, like another member wrote, you've realized that it's about the music & not about the electronics/equipment. Two important things to realize about this hob... | |
| The 3 kings: Esoteric K01,EMM XDS1,Meridian 808.3 Don't you think that Wadia qualifies for this list?? If not, what do you think are the negatives of the Wadia sound? thanks. |
