| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... I hope everyone read the link cited by Albertporter (11/3).Two things are obvious to me.1. Digital PCM may be imperfect, but 24 bits are better than 16, and 96 KHz is better than 44.2. SACD superiority is a snow job by Sony, and many audiophiles h... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible I am a believer in large area LF drivers. My subwoofer system sports three 15" drivers and three 12" drivers. I have some small monitor speakers that will play almost as low in frequency, but there is obviously no comparison in the impact of the s... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... My take is..."SACD is a needlessly complicated way to improve the marginal resolution of Redbook digital recording. The same result is obtained simply by increasing word length to 24 bits, and the data rate to 96 KHz, (called DVDA)". | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Small drivers, like 3/4 inch headphones, are perfectly capable of LF response, but not at any volume. Because a small driver cannot move enough air to achieve useful volume at low frequency they are designed for other characteristics like mid/high... | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. Tvad....Just a guess, but maybe tube electronics, which circuits run at much higher impedance that transistors, might be sensitive to digital noise pickup. | |
| best long connection? It depends on the wire. Electrons don't see the length of the wire. They see resistance, inductance, and capacitance. A 2 meter interconnect can look "longer" than a 5 meter one. For line level interconnects, low capacitance is the main issue.It a... | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. I'm glad that someone else can't hear any improvement with the digital/video off. Same here, before and after Underwood mod. | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. Why do you need to use the remote to turn off the video and digital output? Use the front panel switch. Did the Exemplar mod remove this switch? | |
| Magnepan owner in Tampa/Orlando? 1. I can't believe that there is only one dealer within 100 miles.2. Tell Magnepan about this dealer. | |
| Why so much???? In the case of classical music there is reason to have several recordings of the same piece. Particularly for concertos, there are many excellent soloists who have different interpretations, and it is interesting to compare them. | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued It would also help to buy a large ad in Stereophile. | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued The V15xMR is a technically superb piece of engineering, sold at a sensible price. Unfortunately most of the people who remain interested in vinyl recordings are niche audiophiles who are impressed by hype and technobabble, and who consider an abs... | |
| Hanging Speakers from the Ceiling... Macrame??? Go ahead and hang them. Use any kind of cord, or chain. Drive them with some heavy bass, and see if they move. Most people who dispagage hanging speakers have never done it. | |
| Weather-induced amp performance variation At my former work at a big Aerospace outfit (I'm retired now) air conditioning with exceptionally tight specs was always provided in labs where there were big computers and other electronic equipment. When the weather got really hot, and the offic... | |
| Will this isolation transformer limit power draw? Sounds like the Bryston has a problem. Does it hum or buzz when input interconnects are disconnected (ie: only the power amp is connected to the speakers)?Other ideas...Are the source components and the power amp pluged into different outlets, whi... |
