| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 08-20-11: Douglas_schroederI learned long ago that cords have their own intrinsic sound/nature which is transferrable to all components with which they are used... Conclusions such as this are relatively easy to reach if you are willing to put in ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 08-19-11: ZaikesmanI have to wonder if those positions are based more on theory or experience. In my own experience, although maybe some of this extrinsic/intrinsic business does apply (and I would agree that a good bit of it does apply when it co... | |

| Am I in the minority? Personally I prefer a computer source, primarily for its ease of use. I don't enjoy getting up and changing a disc. Maybe I'm lazy.One thing I didn't see mentioned so far is the space required for physical media. It can be difficult to accommodate... | |

| speakers for 24/96 audio 07-05-11: Almarg...we are not hearing the nanoseconds or picoseconds of timing error itself. What we are hearing are the spectral components corresponding to the FLUCTUATION in timing among different clock periods...That's what I suspected, Al, bu... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio Hi Al and Shadorne.Thanks for your thoughtful responses. Everything you guys said makes sense to me, but I do have some additional thoughts... 07-04-11: Almarg1)He has apparently established that listeners can reliably detect the difference betwee... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio This has been a very interesting thread, and I've learned a lot. I have a question that bears on the value of high resolution audio formats, particularly the value of sampling rates higher than 44.1. Here is the question:Is the preference for high... | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Telescope - The speed at which electricity travels through a wire is so fast that it makes differences in cable lengths inaudible, since the high speed makes any differences in latency (elapsed time) vanishingly small.So you have nothing to worry ... | |
| Best place to put a single subwoofer? IME, the two simplest and most effective techniques for subwoofer placement that require no equipment other than a SPL meter are:(1)1. Place the sub at the listening position.2. Walk around the room and listening for the location where the bass is... | |

| How do you judge your system's neutrality? 05-15-11: Newbee...can you direct me to the post(s) in which the participants actually stipulated to the meanings and use of the terms you refer to. I must have missed it...You missed it? That's strange to me. Here's what I found...11-06-09 Me: a ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? 05-15-11: NewbeeWill the real English major amongst us come forward and explain the proper use of these terms, i.e. neutral and accurate.This issue is way above an English major's pay grade. It is not a question of diction, but rather a question o... | |
