| music frequency Donbellphd...I too have many classical organ recordings. Theatre organs are a whole different animal.The Wurlitzer in the Organ Stop Pizza is,they say, the largest in the world. Others have claimed this, so I don't know, but it is a big one, beaut... | |
| dac chip vs analog stage as to sonic impact Tvad...Checking the APL website I notice that the DACs which they use for the update are AKM. That's what I have in my Behringer DAC2496 which may be why it sounds good. | |
| dac chip vs analog stage as to sonic impact Tvad...I'll take your word for that. Any others? | |
| Choosing proper gain for preamp. Am I screwed? When they "cut" a CD (just like an LP or a mag tape) someone needs to decide on gain, so that the loudest moments do not saturate the recording medium. In the case of a CD this maximum recordable level is exact...all 16 bits used. (For an LP this ... | |
| dac chip vs analog stage as to sonic impact A DAC is an analog device. What do you think the "A" stands for. It is also a digital device, but the digital part is a go/nogo thing and not likely to affect sound quality. The analog output of a DAC chip is fast and accurate, but generally needs... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Gregm...Pro sound uses balanced lines because they run signals hundreds of feet amongst a tangle of other wiring. Noise rejection is important to them. | |
| music frequency The recording that I have with the most extensive very low frequency signal is a Wurlitzer theatre organ CD from Organ Stop Pizza (in Mesa Arizona...great place to visit). There is a continuous background at uniform level down to the 20 Hz 1/3 oct... | |
| music frequency Zargon...My point is that those seven lowest piano keys rarely get played. A speaker that doesn't try for the lowest frequencies may reproduce higher ones better (not worse as you suggest) because it can use a smaller lighter cone driver, which is... | |
| music frequency My observations include the total music waveform, harmonics and all. We could debate whether a harmonic that is 40 dB down is important, but it is 40 dB down. | |
| Downside of sensitivity? High sensitivity speakers sometimes bring out hum and hiss that would not be noticed with low sensitivity speakers. | |
| music frequency My spectrum analyser indicates that the high end of most recorded music rolls off around 12-14 KHz most of the time. Sometimes (not often) there is significant signal up to 20 KHz. The low end varies greatly. Usually nothing below about 40 Hz, but... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-1000 Tube amp Four transformers in a mono amp? Why is that? | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Trelja...And it ain't even broken in!Were you able to get those green -20dB LEDs flashing? | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Trelja...It took me months of fiddling around to learn how to set up and use the DEC2496. And I are a engineer!The line level setting is one thing that I found very important, but which many users probably don't bother with. You can monitor the in... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Trelja...Are you using analog or digital input? On the I/O menu make sure the proper one is selected. If you are using digital you must configure the Behringer for the appropriate sample rate (I/O menu again). If the sample rate is wrong the outpu... |
