| Cable lengths Before we move on to deciding which is worse, coiling one side or having one side shorter, I want to mention one more thing about the data. I made a mistake with my percentage calculations. For instance, notice at 10 kHz, the "effective resistance... | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES good for redbook? update: I continued to be impressed by the Sony SCD-C555ES. However, I returned it before my 30 day trial was up because it had a slight rumble/vibration/buzz in the transport while playing SACDs. It didn't always vibrate but, when it did, it was ... | |
| Cable lengths I should mention that the data I posted is for one side of the speaker cable only. The data for the other side is similar. Therefore, the numbers can be doubled for a quick approximation. For instance, at 10 kHz, instead of a 40.44% increase in re... | |
| Cable lengths I did a quick experiment to see what the effects of coiling up 8' of a 13' speaker wire up would be. I took a 13' speaker cable (12 gauge oxygen free copper) and measured the effective resistance over 20 Hz - 300 kHz. I then coiled up 8' of the ca... | |
| Perfect room size... 10 x 16 x 25 is the ideal dimension ratio to work with. if you apply this rule, based on your ceiling, you get 8.5' x 13.6' x 21.25'. i would be tempted to make the width a bit larger than this and make it 8.5' x 16' x 22'. this is just my idea, p... | |
| How many cd/dvd/sacd/cdr's players do you own? Okay, what's the deal on the Sony DVP-9000S? Almost everyone on this thread has one. Is it because of superior DVD-Video quality? Lucy, you've got some splainin to do. | |
| Adcom 2535 Amp for HT. Any instructions or help? You can find the manual on Adcom's web page:http://www.adcom.com/main/gfa2535manual.pdf(it will take a while to load) | |
| How many cd/dvd/sacd/cdr's players do you own? 20 in all counting portable, auto, and home. | |
| How grills affect? Good thought Leoturetsky. I was only thinking about the rounded edges for anti-diffraction. I suppose the grille material could also be part of the scheme. | |
| Cable lengths that should be a good closing statement for this thread | |
| How grills affect? Back again. I did a late night listening comparison with my Thiel CS1.5s. Since I had to keep the volume down, I can't say much about the anti-diffraction properties of the grilles. (I'm really not sure I could ever evaluate those properties.) How... | |
| Progressive scan ouput Progressive scan only works through the component video output. | |
| How grills affect? The Thiel CS1.5 grille is unique in that it actually has a sizeable rounded wood frame which gives the front of the speaker ALL of its anti-diffraction properties. In other words, without the grilles in place, the front of the speaker has no round... | |
| How grills affect? I like the way JM Lab Utopia series does it. the "speaker grilles" are actually solid wood "speaker protectors." They are to be put in place so that the maid can come through the room and clean things up without damaging the speakers. Of course, t... | |
| How grills affect? I think that with my Thiel CS2.3s, the grills have some very small effect on the low-level detail in the music. |
