| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! I tried to put this into Google Translator, but it told me it couldn't identify the language. | |
| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. Well Nelson pass is primarily an analog guy, ditto Curl, and so what w.r.t. his family business. It's a silly statement. He is likely no better (or worse) that 100's of thousands if not millions of engineers. DIY Audio is a good site, but not the... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! https://www.thecableco.com/mi-2-veracity-speaker-cable-pair.htmlThis is what the Fractal is essentially a variant/copy of. I think the spacing may even be the same. Certainly the same wrong claim of impedance is for audio. That would make the Frac... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? djones513,810 posts04-22-2021 1:44pmIt's what Self wrote in the article you referenced. https://www.backtomusic.ru/audio-engineering/theory/science-and-subjectivismWell that certainly takes my impression of him down a few notches. It is not a diff... | |
| Speaker cone shape jasonbourne52396 posts04-22-2021 1:21pmManger makes flat diaphragm drivers that use the "bending wave" principle for phase coherence.Great transient response, but frequency response is all over the map. His website dedicates much time to transient... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Audio signals are AC. Cables cannot be directional any more than 2 + 2 can equal 5.@djones51, I would not hang your hat on this specific statement (made by Self?). It is simply not true, though perhaps even many engineers believe it. Cables cannot... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? The point here is that wires and other anomalies cannot be evaluated in quick tests. A quick test aims to detect small changes in the FR and distortion factor as accurately as possible, and this is where its advantages end. Long tests (a few minut... | |
| Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC? Yes, upgrading will be a waste. Get the killer DAC. Isolate the iMac from the DAC, and learn how to use Roon. Not all killer DACs are killer DACs. The Mola Mola is. They market it as "DIGITAL THAT’S AS GOOD AS ANALOGUE", but really there is noth... | |
| Speaker cone shape There are far better forums to ask that question, many specifically on speaker design for DIYers, however, the most obvious answer would come down to phase angle introduced by your cross-over and the driver itself, such that the 6.5" wired in phas... | |
| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. Soren Kristensen is held in very high regard as a digital designer.Really? By who? I have never heard of him. I don't see any amazing accomplishments. | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! I see Max has sucked in another person to his distorted view of how the universe works. You would think after he got a serious schooling on ASR last year, he would have perhaps picked up an electrical engineering book and learned a thing or two in... | |
| Tidal MQA Hollowness Well this thread topic post hits a new bizarre low. | |
| Speaker cone shape You are thinking air movement as opposed to pressure wave. Sound is not moving air, not in a linear movement sense. Cones do provide rigidity, naturally, in the axis of movement which potentially allows them to be lighter. Unlike Eric, I am quite ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Erich Fetzenwhaller, a brilliant --- physicist --- who also understood the inner workings, failings, and weaknesses of the --- human mind ---.My mechanic thinks he is a pretty good psychologist too, and epidemiologist too. It is a good thing he ... | |
| The Absurdity of it All I listened some costly tweak product on youtube marketed by a well known company and it is EVIDENT that there is an audible effect....Was that the one where he placed a large metal object (effectively) right against the microphone? Well duh! (not ... |
