| need suggestions for GMA C1 match Right now I have a modified Yamaha M80... upgraded binding posts and power cord.It's nice... but upgrading from a 120wpc M40 to a 250wpc M80 seemed to yield zero difference in sound quality... at least at any SPLs that my ears could handle.So, I'm... | |
| ATI vs Yamaha nobody knows? | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Ya... its all too relative to put definites on.I do think that I have been listening to my speakers very politely though... the other day I gave them a bit more power than usual and things weren't really loud or harsh, but just had more impact and... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Thanks for the info Shadorne.I guess I would need to test my DB to get a sense of where I'm at. There are DB charts with examples scattered about, but I'm not sure how the loudness of these compares to that of a lawnmower from 3 feet away or that ... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Gotcha - thanks guys.I just listened again at a slightly lower volume and worked my way back up... because this was driving me nuts.It sounds fine, actually... I think I'm just not used to playing at higher SPL's than what I'm used to... in fact I... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Yup - "Time"...But the rated power handling of Green Mountain Audio Continuum 1s is around 200-250 watts I think... so I shouldn't even be close to distorting my tweeter or midrange with a Yamaha M-40 (120wpc) at 3/4 volume.. right? Any distortion... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Hmm... tough to tell. The thing is the amp sounds great at that volume on any other recording I throw at it...Maybe this is a redundant question, but what exactly is room overload? Is it when the reflected sound is so strong that everything just t... | |
| Old Paradigm studios against new monitors? Great - thanks a bunch for the info guys. | |
| Brown out This isn't a consistent thing... in fact it's the first time it has happened here.I do use a pretty nice power conditioner / surge protector - a Furman elite 15i. This doesn't have any protection against a brown-out though, does it? It has an auto... | |
| Brown out Most people have them now and then, right?I don't understand how they could damage something... something to do with heat build-up? | |
| New vs. old DACs - opinions? Wow, looks like I struck quite a controversial topic here, eh? | |
| New vs. old DACs - opinions? Hmm... interesting. Well those are about as polar opposite of opinions as could be :) | |
| Strange ground loop...? I contacted BlueJeans and they told me that this has happened with a few other people as well. As silly as it sounds, he/she told me that I just needed to 'push harder'. There are these 'tension fingers' that form a tight lock on the RCA connector... | |
| Audio Mirror D2 - keep or no? It does look nice. It would be interesting to hear a comparison between the two - the Valab and the Audio Mirror D2. | |
| Audio Mirror D2 - keep or no? The Valab looks like it has almost the same exact outer casing as the Audio Mirror DACs. Are they the same inside as well? |
