| Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall Talk to Fritz and ask him to make you a pair specifically for use against the wall.It won't solve everything, but you'll get more efficient speakers with better sounding bass and treble balance. | |
| Electrical interference questions for speaker cable and adjacent subwoofer power cord 1) Do I need to worry about electrical interference from the powered subwoofer power cords running to the sub amps in the speakers if the speaker cables are parallel to and in proximity to the power cords? Well, definitely don't wrap them ar... | |
| Audio Research D240 mkll vs Adcom GFA-555 OP:Well, I definitely think you need to hear more modern gear, that's for sure. I just don't think that era of ARC was going to get you anywhere better. How about a re-capped Krell about 20 years younger? Best,Erik | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? reading some of Mr. Squire’s postings that he has no love for anything Nelson Pass related so while reading the whole posting I was waiting for the bomb to drop in the attempt to destroy a piece of Pass equipment. Odd... I am not tribal. Nelson P... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? BTW, there are better forums for DIY than Audiogon, True, but since DIYers invented HIFI I think it is healthy to do a little cross-pollenating. The more hands on audiophiles, the more helpful, friendly and useful the community becomes, whether o... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? and who are you to tell me what to do ? Of course, do as you will. Sit here and troll all day long, and be seen for that. he is not one of the moderators or representatives, spokesmen, or managers of Audiogon I have confirmed this directly. That... | |
| Meridian dsp Having good room acoustics is often simplifying. A good sounding room will be much more welcoming to a variety of speakers, and help you hear the electronics much more clearly. Those who play roulette with gear and cables in my mind are often tryi... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? You bring this on yourself.....and maybe one day you will realize this. Feel free to start another thread where you enumerate the causes, and leave this thread alone. | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? this is the first discussion i see from erik without negativity. I’m sorry, I think you’ve missed a lot of my threads which were pro something, which then the trolls jumped into. Please don’t blame me for threads the trolls have had to ruin. Even... | |
| The one tweak most Focals need ... audiosense - There are three ways for you to go I think: 1 If you want to try inexpensively, update any caps in series with the tweeter and midrange.2 Get a miniDSP and attempt to EQ your tastes into the speaker3 Get a brand new kit. The hardest t... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? @lakIgnore the upgrade discussions then. Make your build, and then see if you feel like tweaking. For instance, the question of the power supply is something you can experiment later. Is the switched mode supply really worse than linear? Well, in ... | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... Um, the question is do you hear an improvement? :) So, usually, 44 means 44.1 kHz/16 bits. That's the Redbook standard.96 kHz music downloads are almost always 24 bits or 96/24However!! online radio has some variations. 44/20 (or 44/24?) and 96/1... | |
| Audio Research D240 mkll vs Adcom GFA-555 Bleah. Man, in that era there isn't an ARC product I'd consider. CJ however ... :) Stick with what you have if you like it. If you are going to go with ARC, go with their modern stuff. | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... Really like the pool/chlorine analogy! Hah! I really thought that was my worst analogy ever. | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... The sample rate means how many times per second a sample is taken. Say you measure your pool's chlorine every day.So 1/day or 365/year.44,100/second is the CD sample rate. 44,100 times a second a measure is taken and recorded. other common rates a... |
