| pop and click filters And...the electronic mute would have to be something done by the recording engineer, at his console, not by the musician. Even if an electronic instrument's output were chopped off, the sound would linger on in the hall. | |
| Bose 901 Most audiophiles are not familiar with the original Bose 901s. Every subsequent version of the 901 has been a step down. And other Bose speakers are, from the audiophile viewpoint, inferior from the get-go. (The tiny cubes do have some merit for i... | |
| pop and click filters Rockvirgo...The Mute function performed by a musician, although it may sound abrupt, is too slow to be called a "transient". The fact is that the "play it backwards" approach to click elimination does work.I suppose that some sort of electronic mu... | |
| pop and click filters There were many noise reduction units marketed several decades ago, aimed at rumble, surface noise, pops, clicks, and dynamic range expansion and peak unlimiting. Some, like Bob Carver's Autocorrelator, were very "clever". All worked reasonably we... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Newbee...IF any sensitivity were detected, THEN a sweep of frequencies would pinpoint the frequency of greatest sensitivity. However, at least for my equipment there is no sensitivity.Theaudiotweak...Your basic assumption doesn't make sense to me.... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? When the Audioligist fitted my wife for hearing aids, the first thing she did was to measure the acoustic characteristics of the ear canal. This was factored in to the algorithm programmed into the devices. | |
| eAR 1001 power amp questions. Gregm...Thanks. If it helps remember which amp you used, only the 1001 has balanced input. I would be driving MG1.6 crossed over from a SW system.To all, I am away for a week and a half, so if I don't quickly respond to suggestions, that's the rea... | |

| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth Sean...And to lower the tone a bit further, consider the design of residential sewage disposal fields. For ages everyone designed for "worst case" and then made it larger for "good measure". Turns out that an oversized field is a bad idea. Parts o... | |
| What music would you like at your funeral? Second choice would be the Air Force song."Off we go, into the wild blue yonder..". | |
| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth The dean of the mechanical engineering school where I went told us that the final exam would be to design a ten ton crane hook, and stand under it as full load was applied. For most things, worst case analysis is not conservative enough...a "safet... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? I thought this thread was about vibration. Please don't extrapolate my views into other aspects of audio where they don't apply, and then criticize me for these views. To reiterate..."There are many audio characteristics, like "soundstage", "trans... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Tbg...Noone is trying to convince you of anything. I am trying to decide what I need to do, and, just as you report the results of your listening tests, I will report my results. Other guys might benefit from my experience as well as yours. Would ... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Sunday morning Kiwi Breakfast....Beer and sausage at the Rugby field. | |
| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth My first reaction to Sean's comment about the benefit of a noise floor much lower than other ICs and far below audibility is "so what". But then I remembered my own experience in designing tests of complex electromechanical equipment, and my insis... |
