| The invention of measurements and perception Stereophile understands that people hear differently and desire different things. That's a very generous interpretation. | |
| Is unamplified music the gold standard? Nope. What you like to listen to at home is the gold standard. :) Best,E | |
| Group delay in subwoofers JC: Group delay for subs isn't as important as the proper phase/amplitute matching through the crossover, room acoustics and EQ. That's where you should focus your time and energy. | |
| Does streaming defy the laws of physics? Hi ezstreams! So the Internet only works because digits are transmitted with perfect reliability, or it absolutely breaks. I can't read your post here on Audiogon, I can't save it, and I can't do anything unless this is true. Now, as for real time... | |
| Stereo Speakers behind a perforated screen- How much loss in sound? Are you using a center? Subs? where are they? E | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing Anyway, I don't know anythiung for sure, I'm just spit balling about compresion, and air and dynamics. I used to think more air = more linear. I'm not sure now. :) | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing Apparently I like the decay and transparency of a typical DAC because I felt the Border Patrol sucked the life right out of my system. If I interpret this as a loss of dynamics, it would be too much compression. It’s not that it’s literally rem... | |
| Group delay in subwoofers Um, um, um, it is complicated. By themselves, a large woofer driver does not have any group delay other than the position of the motor relative to the other motors. BUT!! DSP processing like you find in a lot of advanced subs can add up to a coupl... | |
| Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC Here’s a cheap solution, and you’ll learn something building it:https://www.instructables.com/id/Share-WiFi-With-Ethernet-Port-on-a-Raspberry-Pi/The nice thing about the Pi is that it's dual band WiFi compatible. | |
| Are ferrites effective for cabling? Best place I think is in power cables. Worth trying on the amp side of a speaker cable, especially with amps that use feedback. | |
| Using optical filter for ethernet Ethernet transmitters and receivers are balanced,and galvanically isolated. It's also very high speed, compared to streaming needs. It would certainly be interesting if something like this makes a difference. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification “One of the difficulties implementing the ICE module is its hungry demands for a powerful input signal. The 700 watt ICE module has low impedance (around 8KΩ) which, if not properly buffered,Little bit of obfuscation. A lot of Class D OEM module... | |
| Down to 2 preamps The AVM has a mix of balanced and rca outs. I think it also has a pair of balanced inputs. I was a little wrong. Only the D2 has balanced inputs. The AVM also has a dedicated headphone output stage. | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Onkyo and Emotiva processors suck in exactly the same way. Clinical, slightly hard, and completely thin. | |
| Power conditioner -- when to replace? The parts don't age, so much as surges age them, but this aging applies only to disposable units, which incorporate shunt devices like MOV's to short lightning strikes to ground, or neutral. Furman conditioners which incorporate SMP can last decad... |
