| Biamping Dunlavy SC-V Thx for response. | |
| why does preamp improve sound quality? Elizabeth, you addressed the issue of impedance mismatch between the source and poweramp. Can you explain what kind of impedance mismatch? In terms of electronics, what does a preamp do with the signal before it enters the poweramp? | |
| High quality transports Why not Accuphase DP-90? | |
| Non overampling/no filter DAC's - Why few brands? Hi, I was also asking the same question. Why trying hard to make more sophisticated DAC's and upsampling algorhythms, while the more simplified approach is the better? But both approaches are valid in my opinion as each has it's own strength and w... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Hi Tomryan and others, if you are using an ICEpowered amplifier (or another version of switch mode power supply), like the ones from Jeff Rowland Design or eAR (Acoustic Reality), I guess you'll have less trouble with AC voltage swings, because of... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Thx Metralla. | |
| Broke and still not happy Gellis, your system looks good to me. Please pay attention to room acoustics and try some sound proofing. When there are lots of reflective surfaces, you can apply diffusors. Be very judiciously with absorbers, because they tend to make the sound ... | |
| Are Preamps necessary? With a high quality preamp the sound is fuller with a bigger soundstage. Driving a power amp directly from a CDP gives you a more transparent and detailed sound, but you will sacrifice some bloom and soundstage becomes more shallow. This appears t... | |
| tube amp sound more engaging You are right Metralla, thx for mentioning it. | |
| tube amp sound more engaging TO: DazzdaxIn reading your post , I must agree with you and have been saying this for the last 5 years or so. Just because one spends xx amount on a system doesnt guarentee good sound. While I dont have the Klipsch Corner Horns, I do have a pair o... | |
| Krell FPB 200c lack of Power? Question for Dr. Greenman:"The volume control is NOT a power control - it's a GAIN control."Can you give some explanation, I'm not very familiair with this kind of technical issues. Thx in advance. | |
| New grill fabric for Dunlavy Well, I think I can do it also, but you see, I'm affraid of making a mess of it: the most difficult part is to attach the fabric in such a way that the edge of the fabric follows a straight line (not making curves) and the fabric itself is not wra... | |
| Breaking in power cords Why do you have to break in power cords? The issue of breaking in cables is quite controversial. I think whether a cable, be it an interlink, speakercable or powercord is good or not, could be heard within seconds/minutes. I think you don't need a... | |
| Aging of capacitors within crossover networks What do you think of this statement by Rod Elliott of Elliott Sound Products:"Non-polarised electrolytics are a different matter, especially when used in crossover networks. These have a tendency to lose capacitance as they age, shifting the cross... | |
| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? Hi, I'm not a very technical person, but what do you think of a full range electrostatic design, such as Soundlab or Martin Logan CLS? Is such a design by definition time and phase coherent? Or how about (dipolar) line sources, like the Pipedreams... |
