| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Bombaywalla...Your check is in the mail :-) | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Sean...The sampling (your first set of dots) is at 44.1KHz. The highest audio information that exists at this sampling rate is around 20KHz, and at this frequency the music signal amplitude is very small. Therefore, unless the signal is momentaril... | |
| Someone w Experience Active/Passive Biamping I am (1)..a strong advocate of biamping, and (2) owner of MG1.6 speakers. In spite of this I suggest that biamping the MG1.6, between the woofer and tweeter panels may not be the best thing to do. (Biamping between a subwoofer and the MG1.6, what ... | |

| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing The term "Error Correction" applies to a scheme where redundant data is combined with the information in such a way that a decoding algorithm can recover the original information WITHOUT ANY LOSS, provided that the number of transmission errors, a... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Phillips used 4 times oversampling in their first CD players so that they could achieve 16 bit accuracy from a 14 bit D/A. At that time, 16 bit D/A, as used by Sony, were lousy, but the 14 bit units that Phillips used were good. The really cool pa... | |

| Blind Power Cord Test & results Is everyone familiar with the old Stereophile Test CD where Gordon Holt reads his essay "Why Hi-Fi experts disagree"? As he reads through his piece he uses 14 different microphones. The differences in the sonic characteristics are huge. If the sou... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Albertporter...As I am sure you know, there is another explanation for why audiophiles dislike A vs B, and why it is banned at AA. | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Although I subscribe to the A vs B method, I do note that there are some very special situations where inadudible problems might become anoying over time. The one that comes to mind is an ultrasonic oscillation that you cannot hear but which adver... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results I think we are confusing CHANGE with QUALITY. Change is quickly detected although it may take a while to decide if the change is an improvement or a degradation. I agree that it takes years to properly evaluate a woman, but I can usually tell in a... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Albertporter...I don't want to get mixed up with the power cord thing, but perhaps you could explain why you think (pronounce actually) that, in general, a long term listening comparison is better than a quick A/B. In my experience long term compa... | |
