| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About If you think that constantly tweaking and using things like cable elevators makes you an artist and not a measurebator as per Ken, then I don't think you understand what he was trying to communicate. Of course, the fact he was talking about creati... | |
| Length of speaker cables I don't think you want to play this game with me. Given you need to use Wikipedia for validation, I don't think you are qualified to go down this path.From your basics misunderstanding the roll of the cables,True DF, not just DC DF, is not constan... | |
| Plug-In Liquid Air Freshener Destroys Vinyl LP There are probably 10 things in your house that will degrade vinyl. Better get rid of all the colognes and perfumes. Nail polish ..that too. Nail polish remover? Ditto, out it goes. Turpentine or mineral spirits for brushes? Gotta go. Same with bu... | |
| Length of speaker cables I can only assume then b4icu that you are unable to discuss and / or justify using on a DC damping factor and your level of knowledge is Wikipedia? People who know there topic well don't tend to call on Wikipedia for validation. DF is a definitio... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About See what I mean jcolespeedway, tons of hand waving but not a real technical discussion no matter the expanding number of posts.One person likes to use the word science a lot but offers no confidence they have any significant background in the rela... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? I thought this thread was about whether having a more revealing system is a bad goal. Personally I think that is the ramblings of someone desperate to sound relevant.Take a b-grade band, genre unimportant. Playing in a great acoustic space will no... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Jcolespeedway, most cable vendors and certainly most in these forums and on this thread would have a hard time providing a valid and quantitative reason for the impact of dielectric value especially for the cable most likely to be elevated, i.e s... | |
| Length of speaker cables As audio signals are AC and hence impacted by impedance and not simple resistance, I am not seeing the technical merit nor the evidence of engineering or science of using a simple DC value for dissipation factor to determine a cable. It also only ... | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? Think Amazon HD audio through an Amazon Fire Stick into a Bryston. Certainly makes a statement w.r.t. total system price. Add in your cable box if you are so inclined, maybe your Chromecast HD for streaming, etc. etc. Perhaps they are taking a di... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store tomyc6,When I think of the hoops sales people have done to sell me $17,000 of equipment in the past (and me to others), what you describe really does not sound excessive since quite frankly, that is the job. | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? Perfect frequency response from both sides sounds like it would be super important but in practicality for what most people describe as imaging it is not. Symmetrical installation in general is far more important.What most people describe as imagi... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Point of clarification, you want to be compensated.While I would accept that COVID times are different, certainly in normal times, your staff, the equipment you have on hand, etc. are sunk costs. You are going to incur them whether you have a demo... | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. I wonder if there would be a correlation between people who tell you suspending speakers from cables is a bad idea and those that tell you to put your speakers on spring platforms?In terms of losing bass, just remember that most concert speakers a... | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? Within a frame work of two channel audio, it is not simply timing information that is important, but relative timing information, i.e. the time difference between arrival at both your ears. To that end, a large baffle will not impact the primary w... | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? emergingsoul, outside high end audio, HDMI is ubiquitous. If you want to reach the masses (relatively) then HDMI is the way to go. Likely they have an integrated HMDI receiver chip that supports many ports, and HDMI would power down unused ports r... |
