Line Array speakers?
So line array is the future of speaker design? Tell this to Dave Wilson!Chris 
Line Array speakers?
What are the benefits and shortcomings of a line array? If a line array = superior to all the others, why don't we see more line array's from speaker manufacturers?Chris 
Maggies and rolled off treble
I can say that older Maggies sound so appealing because of the rolled off treble, the emphasis on midrange, the transparency and punchy bass. Therefore they are quite forgiving with regard to less immaculate recordings. And that's for most people ... 
What is the benefit of a good transport?
I don't know exactly why transports sound different, but they do! Alright, alright, it's about 0's and 1's but... I think it's about jitter, don't you think? So in theory the transport with the less jitter is the superior one, I suppose... Have yo... 
Ultra high resolution
Is any of you familiar with a poweramp that has ultra high resolution (without sounding overly aggressive)? If you do, could you specify which amp you have in mind? In my opinion 95% of all amps (tubes or solid state) don't have this ultra high re... 
Gruensch power amplifier
Any response from any of you?Chris 
Ultra high resolution
To me ultra resolution doesn't mean a sharp, piercing treble. It is the antithesis of that, but without a rolled off treble. With ultra resolution is as if you hear music breathing in front of and around you.Chris 
Ultra high resolution
I have another stupid question: do some amplifier designers introduce deliberately some kind of noise (some kind of analog dither) so there is an apparent enhanced resolution?Chris 
Ultra high resolution
Joey, you're welcome.Chris 
Ultra high resolution
Thank you for clarification Rodman. So when the passive parts in the signal path are essential for getting the highest level of resolution, why do even the big boys in the business, like Krell and Mark Levinson are including cheap parts in the sig... 
Power factor correction
Will a power amplifier with a power factor of 1 sound better than the same power amplifier with a power factor of 0.89? If this is not the case, so why bother?Chris 
Ultra high resolution
Xie: Can you tell us which power amplifier you have in mind? Joey: It should be the "World's Most Deadly Joke" sketch. Heheh.Chris 
Ultra high resolution
Yeah, I know this is becoming a bit boring. Just skip this one. Unquestionably not one of my most original threads...Chris 
Jadis amplifiers: rolled off treble?
Trelya, I own Soundlabs but I don't own Jadis amplifier. The Jadis JA 200 is one of the two Jadis amplifiers I have auditioned, the other is the Jadis DA 88 Signature. I'm contemplating to mate a Jadis amp with the Soundlabs but I haven't made a d... 
Jadis amplifiers: rolled off treble?
Loki, do you think they sound rolled off in the treble? My ears say: yes.Chris
