Responses from dynamiclinearity
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. I agree it's poor design. But a good solution is a heavy weight such as the old VPI brick which will also reduce cabinet induced microphonics. | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. How loud do U play music. Our ear bass response is level dependent. I believe flat response on healthy ears is 100dB, terribly unhealthy. At 80dB I believe the ear is down over 10 dB. The point is a flat system may be flat for real but at normal l... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? If I have to pick the most important factor in sounding live it's linearity. Double the input then the output should double. Triple and etc. And it's true in the entire system, not just speakers. I recall Bud Fried's speakers were linear phase and... | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ I don't believe it is necessarily efficiency that makes a good horn system sound real(with good material). It's dynamic linearity, level changes from micro to macro that arenot compressed(well minimally compressed). I suspect a good horn system or... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Not really familiar with either speaker but this was the kind of reporting that is useful to audiophiles, not just the 'this is great' kind of comment. If I was in the market this was the kind of info that would make me make the effort to audition... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? Not a radio station but a Philadelphia program called Folklore with Gene Shay began in the mid 1960s on Sunday evenings although it moved from station to station over the decades. I aleays loved folk music and Gene was at the forefront of the genr... | |
| Can You Hear Me Now If there are golden ears it isn't the hearing ability that is golden it's the ability of the listener to interpret and to what he can hear and to retain as much of it in memory. It's the brain and the listener's experience and concentration that ... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? You may be able to use small amps on the main speakers with a sub woofer but only if the sub is powered and if it has a high pass filter to take energy out of the bottom of the main speakers.But I always recall my friend George Bischoff(Melos elec... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? Setting up in audio shows is always a problem. Some presenters are better at setting up, especially quickly as needed at shows than others. If a system sounds good at a show it is good. If it doesn't sound good you can't be sure what's going on an... | |
| What song have you played the most? Let No Man Steal Your Thyme, Pentangle, 1st cut on their 1st album. I love British Folk/Rock although this is more Folk/Jazz. The group is great. Jacqui McShee is a marvelous lead singer and the recording is excellent(as long as you don't have the... | |
| Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl One of the problems with a ported speaker is that below the port resonance the woofer is literally floating in the breeze with nothing to stop it(unlike a closed box where the compression of the air brakes the driver). If there is a low frequency ... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? So there are only sonically bad cables. By that logic there are only sonically bad speakers, amps, tone arms, etc. and that's true since all of them degrade the signal to some extent. How does that help any discussion? The sales argument has some ... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. I can't believe how seriously most of you took this. I just smiled at it. At worst it was a discussion. | |
| High quality, passive, balanced, low pass crossover? Pet peeve which doesn't really affect the discussion but sealed box and acoustic suspension are not exactly the same thing. Acoustic suspension is a sealed box but with particular woofer and box size relationships. An acoustic suspension speaker i... | |
| In praise of isolation. Microphonics affect everything. I heard a comparison of 2 powers amps where the only difference was the material of the bottom and the end of the amp with the connections. It was as big a difference as if the amps came from two completely differen... |
