| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW 04-21-09: GregaddI think Apogee my be trying to pull a Phoenix. I think they lost a patent infringement suit to Magnepan. At least they were a fun company. The Scintilla has kind of a cult following.you are correct! Apogee Acoustics did lose a pat... | |
| benifits of reclocking 04-16-09: Celtic66I don't want a cat's ass in my transport.LOL! how about the "cat's whiskers"?(cat's ass? GOK where these people come up with these phrases??)Redsierra,the benefits of reclocking are mostly to reduce jitter that is injected into t... | |
| Wadia i170 cruise thru this thread where we have talked extensively about this unit. Also, there is a link to another 3rd party thread in the discussion.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1236884931 | |
| Wide bandwidth = necessary? Chris, I obviously misinterpretted what you intended to discuss in this thread! :-( That makes my long rambling post irrelevant. Please ignore it. Thanks. | |
| Wide bandwidth = necessary? Hi Al,The main benefit of higher sample rates, which figures to be a very significant one, is that it allows for a gentler rolloff of the "anti-aliasing filter" that precedes the A/D converter in the RECORDING CHAIN.Looks like I read your post too... | |
| Wide bandwidth = necessary? Hi folks, there is one paradigm that bothers me a bit: many experts and audiophiles are stating that Red Book technology is outdated because of it's bandwidth limited function. I've read the human ear is capable of perception of frequencies beyond... | |
| Wide bandwidth = necessary? Al,you got it all wrong, I'm afraid! The main benefit of higher sample rates, which figures to be a very significant one, is that it allows for a gentler rolloff of the "anti-aliasing filter" that precedes the a/d converter in the recording chain.... | |
| Does impedance matter? Hi Ralph,all your points on impedance are well taken. IMHO Magfan's original post did not imply that impedance was not a useful number; in reality it is! I quote from Magfan's thread-starting post: When looking at a speaker then, it is important i... | |
| AES 6 pacs Speaker choice? My room is about 16x14, music is about 85% blues-based rock both acoustic & electric. 15% Jazz & Classical. I used to own a pair of these Sixpac until quite recently & I also listen to the genres of music as you do (but my distribution... | |
| Does impedance matter? You said it Magfan! Speaker impedance should be studied/viewed uisng *both* the impedance & phase curves. The phase angle lets the user know what sort of real-time strain will be put on the amp.If users do not like passive x-overs, they are fr... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Here is my feedback FWIW:I bought a few copper couplers - 1-1/4", 1-1/2" & 2". One side of my power cord is less fat than the other side hence I need a 1-1/4" on 1 side & a 2" on the other. I put copper couplers on the CDP power cord, powe... | |
| Does ProGold have a shelf life? 04-01-09: Swanny76109Some analogies come to mind: I throw my food away when the freshness date has expired. I throw my prescription meds away too. My used paint in the garage usually starts to get funky and mucky after a couple years sitting in th... | |
| Does ProGold have a shelf life? Ok, Swanny76109, it's now your word versus mine! You say that I have not done a chemical analysis so I'm hand-waving. I say that neither have you & so you cannot confirm whether the chemicals have or have not broken down.Sure, the chemists wou... | |
| Does ProGold have a shelf life? OK, so the CAIG products are guaranteed for 1 year & they have a shelf-life for 2-3 years. So, what if you use an expired product that has been kept under the manuf recommended storage conditions?IMHO the efficacy of the product is reduced. Th... | |
