| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @viridian - "What test measurements were thrown out the window?"With respect to cables and power conditioners - any/all - meaning the need for measurements was thrown out the window. It's a colloquial expression. Perhaps that explains your confus... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @viridian Here's a direct quote of myself:" Somewhere along the line, probably when test measurements were thrown out the window and things like $3000 cables, $5000 "power conditioners", and $50,000 amplifiers became "the norm" -cj1965Translat... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @erik_squires Simple and accurate erik - Kudos! | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @atmasphere atmasphere said - " a previous answer was incorrect. Both speakers will move at EXACTLY the same time regardless of the hookup. "Incorrect? Really? In theory, they move at EXACTLY the same time only when no capacitance exists in the ci... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @viridian It should go without saying that some measurements have been retained over the years. I don't think I said ALL measurements were abandoned. The point, which I thought was obvious, was that there have never been measurements of cables an... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @whart I appreciate your comment and viewpoint however before completely side tracking the thread I would like to respectfully request that you start a new thread on turntables or add to a preexisting thread on that subject pertaining to nostalgi... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency "Also, speakers with higher impedience tend to have a high Bl, and therefore follow the signal more accurately. " - toddalin" And seeing as how JBLs are the only make of speaker that matter in my household, I stand behind the logic that a highe... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @viridian @bdp24 On the subject of facts and "revisionist history".....If memory serves correctly, Julian Hirsch was doing plenty of measurements at Audio magazine way back in the 1970s and 1980's prior to the appearance of everyone's favorite eq... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members " And BTW Stereophile is a consumer magazine, not a trade magazine. As you said, no one is entitled to their own facts. " - viridianI leave it up to you on the time line of when things started to go south. The thread is mainly about the "need" fo... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @michaelgreenaudio- "performance, prices, and attitude"Succinct and spot on. Consumers used to look to trade magazines to assist in assessing performance virtues and offering guidance as to what represented value in the marketplace. Somewhere al... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members " JA is a friend of mine and I don’t appreciate your coming over here disparaging him. Plus you’re a coward since he can’t defend himself. Crawl back under whatever rock you came from. Still think that’s comic relief? " - geoffkaitYes. Even mo... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @ toddalinThe industry standard for as long as I can remember relies on a fixed voltage to assess a loudspeaker's sensitivity - not power input. In this way, it doesn't matter what the loudspeaker's impedance is. All are judged on the same level p... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @ghosthouse I've known about Agon for years but didn't know it had a forum. The only reason I found out it had a forum was kind of by accident. I created an account to buy a Perreaux amp and was frustrated by a glitch in the bid/buy it now system ... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @vindian LOL! Please excuse my lapse in perception - it's an audio forum after all so I tend to expect the usual "who do you think you are, you're not John "freakin'" Atkinson...." routine. | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @williewonka Excellent questions1) yes (in phase)2) yes but it should be virtually undetectable3) In series, there will be increased inductance which will roll off high frequencies (yes). In parallel, inductance seen by the amp is cut in half ju... |
