| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? Pop music is recorded at a uniformly loud level which covers up the inherent deficiencies of the LP medium. | |
| 6SN7 suffixes Early 6SN7 had metal cases. the GT means "Glass Tube". | |
| Speakers for low power amps? Twl...Any thoughts about use of these FR drivers in an "open" design. Since LF is such a big problem, why not just use a separate LF driver in a box that would be smaller than the horn that the FR driver would demand. You could still run the FR dr... | |
| Speakers for low power amps? Twl...In the Madisound webpage catalog for Fostex, at the bottom are some enclosure designs, and one in particular looks interesting. "Fostex FE164 Mass Loaded Tapered Quarter Wave Tube" by Martin King. The LF extension suggested by the plot is qu... | |
| Speakers for low power amps? Twl...What is TQWP? | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Spectrum analyers are great. See my review of my new toy, Behringer DEQ2496. But they are not as sensitive as the human ear in some regards. The example I have heard...Imagine the Boston Symphony Orchestra going full bore, and one trombone player ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Twl...Of course the sun comes up each morning, and the rooster thinks he makes it happen. | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Dragon1952...You also, and others still miss the point about the ROLE of a scientific explanation of physical effects. I will say it another way.Not everything requires an exact explanation. (Don't misquote me!). I believe in Gravity, even though ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Twl...You fell into that mistake of half-baked science! The fact that one of the auditioning group was right 80% of the time doesn't prove anything. Group statistics are all that matter in a test like this one. Someone usually wins the Lottery. St... | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer Suits_me..."Monatonic" is a term applied to digital A/D converters, meaning that an increase in analog input always results in an increased digital output (it never "falls back"). I think you must mean "continuous". You would need to hear it with ... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Lmack...You missed the point about the psychic. No doubt you would believe her, although the trick is probably done by a mirror or something like that. The point is that if the mechanism for psychic power were discovered, then it's existance would... | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer The usefulness of the RTA continues to amaze me. 1...I have explored the effects of different SW crossover frequencies.2...I discovered that one of my six subwoofer drivers got wired up backwards (recent wire rerouting).3...I discovered that the r... | |
| What is the magic behind SET For ANY tube amp, not just SET, the audio output transformer is the story. All that other stuff, resistors, capacitors, tubes, etc. is just auxillary equipment to power up the transformer.I only exagerate slightly. | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Twl...No doubt that "something is going on", but the question is: should the investigator be a scientist or a psychologist. Probably both, IMHO.Some people believe in psychic phenomena, and many tests have been devised to try and prove, by statist... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Text books, and the study they relate to, teach us how to learn, as well as some facts and techniques. Most of the electronics technology current when I went to school is obsolete today, but the open-minded but systematic approach to learning that... |
