Could this be a Major Breakthough ?
Hifisoundguy...Water injection is an idea that has been around for decades. It has typically been used for brief bursts of power, as for an aircraft takeoff or during combat. The jet engines on early 707 aircraft used water injection on takeoff.I ... 
Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get?
I have an Oppo and agree with RW. What a deal!! 
Could this be a Major Breakthough ?
I have developed a device that turns one dollar bills into tens. The cryo-treated version spits out twentys. And the tube model hundreds. 
Bose 901...really
I was curious to see if the Bose equalizer could be completely replaced by the Behringer DEQ2496 (instead of using both in series). Answer is definitely YES, although the Bose user manual says otherwise. First set the Parametric function to 502 Hz... 
A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ?
Atmasphere...Thanks. I still don't get it, but am willing to believe you are correct in your conclusion. Until I run a little simulation anyway :-) 
when is a speaker considered full range?
Shadorne....I'll grant you that we can get along without 12KHz -20 KHz (oh to be young again), but for some kinds of music there is indeed signal down to, and sometimes below, 20 Hz. To get it with any kind of power you need lots and lots of big d... 
A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ?
Atmasphere...True... if the feedback signal had gain increasing with frequency reduction the overall amp would exhibit LF roll off. But that would be easily corrected by equalization of the input signal.But the causial relationship between propaga... 
A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ?
Thanks for the info. You are a font of knowledge!I understand propogation delay and the need for compensation in the feedback loop to avoid oscillation. The part I don't get is where you say "The result is low-level odd-order harmonic generation".... 
when is a speaker considered full range?
As frequency increases (towards 20 KHz) and decreases (towards 20 Hz) the loudness decreases. The range of a speaker is usually stated as the frequency where the loudness is decreased (rolled off) by 3 dB compared with loudness at a reference freq... 
A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage
Nine watts! It must be a Platonic marriage :-) 
A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ?
Atmasphere...Would you please explain the mechanism whereby feedback causes odd order harmonic distortion. 
Bose 901...really
Rodman99999 and Wireless200 have expressed the official audiophile opinion. I would most of the time agree. But, my swimming pool room is an unusual environment, and, on a hunch, I decided to give the 901s a try. I don't regret it.For serious list... 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
Mine was a Mission, which was basically a Phillips with a superior analog output circuit in a separate potted module that was stuffed in the box with some foam to keep it from rattling around. I had gone to an audio shop all prepared to buy a Sony... 
crackling noise at high volume
Ghosthouse...You are correct that "Clipping" refers to the "clipped off" (square) tops and bottoms of the music (or sinusoidal test signal) waveform which occurs when the waveform peak voltage exceeds what the amp can put out. However, the speaker... 
Bose 901...really
Inpepinnovations...The Bose equalizer comes before the Behringer, so the Bose doesn't have to put out anything extra. And the Behringer has LEDs indicating its input level, which, if anything, is a bit low. (The Behringer has balanced output to th...
