| They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why? If I want to know a price, I just ask a dealer. Easy! | |
| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? folkfreak2@cleeds I presumed @joeylawn36111 meant the case of a component designed for dual voltage operation (or switchable between the two) in which case for a given power draw the current will halve as the voltage doubles. Sorry, you are mi... | |
| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? joeylawn36111... the main difference is that 220V device uses half the current a similar 110V one would.Sorry, but this is mistaken. You're confusing current with voltage. All other things being equal, a given amplifier will draw the same amou... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings hk_fan... Class-D is not the end all be all for subs. They're used in subs because they are cheap and can put out lots of power ...Agreed! There's no question that when it comes to size, weight, price and power consumption, it's tough to top C... | |
| Planar speaker placement sbank... absorption & some diffusion behind the planars will improve the depth & clarity because without it all that rear-firing energy will reflect back and smear what is heard. This is not at all the case in my experience. Much of the... | |
| Are USB-SPDIF's relevant with today's DAC USB technology? cerrotUSB is the worst thing you can use. USB is for printers and mice - NOT music!Would you please explain why you feel USB is inferior for audio? Isn't one of its advantages the ability to handle DSD? | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate stringreenAnti skate is such a low force that it is inconsequential..most part theoretical. Actually no antiskate sounds better than yes a/s.Certainly, many listeners prefer no antiskate, although I'm not one of them. However, to claim that a... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings blackfly... Class D in the bass is penultimate (again, the reason it is the best amp for subs), go out and directly compare it to a Luxman M 800, or Accuphase A 200. No dice. Penultimate to what? Your statement doesn't make any sense. In any ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? geoffkait... CDs sound relatively thin, disembodied, two dimensional, compressed, congealed, thumpy, piercing, hollow, diffuse, synthetic, amusical, generic, threadbare, edgy, bass shy, peaky, ugly, phasey, irritating, detailed, unnatural, uni... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. Pretty much.I went through a few good speaker systems, then bought an Infinity IRS 1B system. I loved it ... until the dealer got in the Infinity IRS Beta system. When he offered me a good price on one, I jumped at the chance. Much of my system ha... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? When I got into audio, digital playback was just a gleam in an engineer's eye. All we had was vinyl, reel-to-reel and FM. (And live music.) Really. I've stayed with the LP ever since - while also adding digital into the system. I simply don't see ... | |
| RCA connectors-how to tighten them up. This is a bit confusing, because I think of a female RCA connector as a "jack," not a "plug." I wouldn't expect the connector to have "flaps," which I associate with a male "plug." But perhaps I'm just misunderstanding you.In any event - and witho... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings There are some great turbocharged four-cylinder engines, but they haven’t replaced V-8s or even V-12s. "There no replacement for displacement" is the adage in the auto industry. Perhaps the same is true with hi-fi. | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP rotariusIf you need to square up a cart in a headshell why would you not use the precision of digital calipers to measure distance of each side of a cart to the headshell edge? I am an engineer, I like to confirm with actual measurements rather t... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP rotarius@sbank, you don’t need a cart to be rectangular or have parallel sides, all you need is symmetrical sides and a measuring tool like calipers. I do agree, the cantilever needs to be in line with the cart axis. Eyeballing with lines on a mi... |
