| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? What was this thread about? Oh yes, receptacles.My closed mind did not prevent me from making a careful comparison of cryo'd vs uncryo'd outlets. I neither heard not measured any difference. Too bad, because, as some have mentioned, the cost is re... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter...Two kinds of insults are being thrown about here. (1) Because you HAVE formal scientific training you cannot maintain an open mind. (By the way you never got back to me about Leonardo da Vinci). (2) Because you DO NOT HAVE scientifi... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter...The notion that a degree in physics inhibits thought takes the cake. | |
| Analysis Audio Speakers Muralman1...Can you give a brief description of how the Apogee was different from Maggies. I always thought that they were much the same, in construction if not in price. | |
| Non inverting polarity? Honest1...Your test method is clever, and your results interesting, although I would have to try it myself to be convinced. | |
| Analysis Audio Speakers I thought that Apogee went down the tubes because of infringement on Magneplanar patents. What is the story here? | |
| Non inverting polarity? Jeffreybehr...I just found out that all JBL loudspeaker drivers have polarity opposite to other brands. A positive voltage applied to the + terminal causes the cone to pull in (not push out). So, if you think absolute polarity matters, and you hav... | |
| Rocky return to vinyl For vinyl I give a big cheerIn spite of the noise that I hearScatched records and allThe sound is a ballBut oh the equipment is dear | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Irvrobinson...How did the orange color affect the sound? | |
| What makes one good amp sound better than another? I also have an Adcom 5503, which I used to drive three Magneplanar MG1.6 speakers. I changed to using CarverPro ZR1600 amps (digital, and rated at 600 wpc into 4 ohms) and I do believe that there was a significant improvement. But then, Maggies ar... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter...OK I will try again. I am not talking about component specs describing audio quality.I am not talking about measurements of the electrical signal describing audio quality.All I say, which no rational person can deny, is that a louds... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter...Please do not pronounce that one who has scientific training and experience is not also capable of creative thought and artistry. Remember Leonardo Da Vinci?You still do not grasp that I am not talking about specs on an amp. I am ta... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter...Measuring tube characteristics is not the same thing as measuring the audio signal applied to a speaker. Note that I talked only about the electrical signal applied to the speaker. Parameters that are defined and measured for tubes ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter...Come now: you know that two audiophiles will never agree completely. My comment of 11/14 sums up my opinion. | |
| Speaker cable aging? This reminds me of an old "Candid Camera" (TV Show) where they convinced women who had brought their cars in for an oil change that they were due for an air change in their tires.By the way, what harm is an oxide layer on the wires? Some wires are... |
