| Bypassing Caps - what is it really about? Thanks for the answers! I would not have intuitively thought about this because the caps I’ve used (Audio Note, VCap, Jupiter, etc) all seem to have fantastic high frequency sound, even if their ESR measures this way or that. (I kind of wonder wha... | |
| Bypassing Caps - what is it really about? So I’m not talking about bypass circuits. I’m taking about what hi-fi people call "bypassing a capacitor", which is running two capacitors in parallel, typically using a small value to piggy back the main value. | |
| Audio-grade rectifying diode? @gs5556 the amp already does that actually. But why is that so? | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? @reimarc "if the event takes place around the conductor and not through it, how can its material make a difference?" Because all materials involved form an inter-relationship, as do electromagnetic fields outside of the system. Its not just "on... | |
| Devore O vs Audionote @wolf_garcia There are incredible options at fractions of the cost if you DIY. But then, you'll have to put in the time. And thats when you realize people charge a lot because ... they put in the time. | |
| Devore O vs Audionote @prof thanks very much for the info! I was especially curious about the tone of the mid driver.. but im also sensitive to coherency and thats a good point about the corners with AN. | |
| Devore O vs Audionote Just trying to see if anyone can comment on the vibe between these two brands popular models. I'll leave it to others to comment on which ones they heard and their impressions. thanks | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Isn't it funny that there's no Food Science Review, filled with devotees who claim that coffee and wine notes are imaginary, that herbs must be measured by % points of acidity, and using your own feelings to create and taste dishes is foolish? Bu... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts ASR fits a religion to the T. Doesn’t matter if its science or astrology, the religious aspects have nothing to do with the topic but the social aspect - like someone said, you just need a self proclaimed guru and authority figure and many highly ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused "If you like to tinker, great. Tinker with the front end. But why tinker matching amps, drivers, and speaker cables when the engineer who DESIGNED the speaker can do it for you at a much lower cost?" Because it will sound way, way better than ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Arguably the highest quality audio systems in the world right now are Level 5 Audionote, and they design every speaker, external xover, transformers, and dampening feet to match. And its true that audiophiles like to tinker with matching gear - ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused What you said is not wrong, but it is also not the whole story. "this concept is much more important to sound quality than the vibration systems we often buy." This is true when the transparency of a system is very low, like powered Gelenecs wi... | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp "On SET amps the key here is not just Caps, resistors and etc but the trannies are the keys elements which will make the amps sound best. " Not on SET amps - on all music reproducing or generating equipment. Thats like saying "The key on binocula... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts This is a non sequitur, but I listened to the top measured products on ASR compared to some which measured worse, and I was shocked at how bad the top ones sounded by comparison. Because of course, they are not measuring everything you can hear. L... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? Jazz, as most people think of it, flourished in particular during the 1960s-1980s which was a period of radical individual self expression and spiritual enlightenment. (An era in history known as "The Consciousness Revolution"). It was a period of... |
