| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? ieales ... Sound waves do not interact and sum ...Actually, they can sum, and they can also subtract. Using out-of-phase signals, for example, is how active noise reducing headphones work. Phase is also part of why LF signals can be directional. | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? garrettc... at least in America, and you can't tell business owners what they are suppose to charge ...Actually, in the US, a manufacturer can indeed tell a business what it can charge for its products, and some do. | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? chakster ... i do not believe that stylus with 500 hrs on it can destroy any LP with simple play at correct VTF. The number of hours on a stylus is only one factor to assess. Cartridges that were not properly aligned when new often result in styl... | |

It looks like you have some reading to do! Come on, you keep throwing out names but not one, not one actual source that supports your ... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! daveyf ARC didn't state anything about the long break in time in the manual of the piece I am referring to ( I did not say they did, you somehow read that?) , but in a response to a review ...What review was that? I doubt any company mentions ... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? heaudio123Sound and Vision is not a scientific resource ...Agreed. So please cite a scientific study that supports your claims. Look at actual scientific studies. I can post many studies ...But you haven’t yet, you simply repeat your claim. Meanwh... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? chakster... many audiogon users claimed they're fine with cartridges with 500hrs on it even if the profile is conical, they do believe "it is well polished".And that's just fine if they're happy! I expect to get high performance from LP, so I w... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? heaudio123.. you wouldn’t know how to set up a proper experiment for subwoofer or low frequency localization. You told me you participated in multiple experiments. Why don’t you know exactly how to set up the experiment to deliver valid results?Y... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? heaudio123Why would I need to make recordings of my own? You don’t have any such need, of course. Nor do you have any need to conduct any valid listening tests. If you prefer, you can continue to vaguely cite the opinions of others, and assert yo... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! daveyf The ARC preamp I mentioned, would have required a number of months or more...perhaps more than a year, to actually break in IF the user was not listening every week ( and for extended periods) ... ARC stated that their large Teflon caps... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? chakster ... if an LP can be destroyed from one play then all those 30-40 y.o. vintage LPs must be unlistenable, but they are better than new reissues. That's the logical fallacy known as the excluded middle. It's certainly true that an LP can ... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? heaudio123 ... you are either lieing about testing people for directionality at 30hz or your speaker had high distortion and there was frequencies well above 30hz ... You can't localize 30hz. It is impossible.Actually, @ieales is correct - it... | |
| Turntable and Arm Combination in 5K range (maximum) sdrsdrsdr... Reeds don't stand too tall and mount nicest on these low platers of the direct drives without lowering the plinth height.That doesn't make any sense. If you lower the plinth, you'll be also lowering the height of the pickup arm. ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport p051293... For a dozen years now, it’s been proven that ripped music sounds better than played they a cd player ...Hmmm, there seems to still be some debate regarding that. Could you please share proof of your claim? ... there is no difference ... | |
| Dbx encoded discs barts... Interestingly I ran into the few DBX records I have left ...I would buy one and copy it to a Teac A-3340S at 15ips ... I don't remember the model number of the DBX "compander" as they were known. But it had both record and tape functi... |
