| Is Class D Analog or Digital ? It is binary, but not digital, and it is quite confusing. :) | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions I'd argue with Kenjit, but that would involve science, and engineering, and that's a myth, or mumbo jumbo or something. | |
| Is Class D Analog or Digital ? And BTW< no, the D in Class D was just random coincidence. Class A, B and C were taken, so Class D became class D because it was next. Also, I prefer some class D to lots of analog amps. :) You can't go by the class, gotta listen for yourself. | |
| Is Class D Analog or Digital ? It is analog and switching.It is not considered digital because there is no A/D stage. Control of the switching happens in the analog stage.The latest Technics amps however call themselves true digital amps as they DO convert. Some will argue th... | |
| Are Pass Labs amps good at low volume levels? It sounds to me most of all that you may need a loudness switch. Well implemented, the rewards outweigh the demerits, and make true low level listening a real delight. | |
| Capacitors for HP filters in tube amps recommendations? Modern film caps are usually spot on in terms of measurements, but you can always order matched pairs. I've not bought a film cap in ages that wasn't actually within 1%. | |

| Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ? You want 2 things: 1 - Minimal surface contact to the floor. 2 - Minimal ability of the speaker itself to move back and forth due to energy from the drivers. For #1 above, you don’t have to go crazy. Puck-like feet are fine if they are on a solid ... | |
| Slight Hardness on LP's Room acoustics. As a cheap experiment, get some blankets and pillows and try between the speakers and behind the speakers on the floor. This is an often neglected area. | |
| 15 amps vs 20 amps Hello. 20 Amp circuits are often used in homes with 15A components/outlets. Perfectly "legal." The idea is that you can therefore run more components on one circuit. Imagine you have 4 x 5A devices. A 20A circuit will let you run all of them at on... | |
| Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space Um, first, some instruments don't have a lot of energy in the fundamental. But otherwise, you may be very interested in Head Related Transfer Functions. Best,E | |
| Hotel Room Confessions - Best Sound at a Show? PS - I don't claim my gear or room is all that great, but better than just about every hotel room I've ever listened in. :) So, low bar. |
