| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Change your electronics. | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! You could go with an integrated with a nice loudness control, like some of the current Yamaha offerings, if you want to keep your speakers, otherwise I find that some of the Dynaudios fit this profile. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. blocking the ports prevents excessive cone excursion below the tuning frequency. You'll loose a little bass, but this is a temporary, reversible experiment. | |
| Mr. Obvious (?) - digital source (burn) Um, one major variable is whether you are using a lossy or lossless format. Losless formats like ALAC, FLAC, WAV, should produce a bit-identical replay to the CD they were ripped from. MP3, Ogg, and others do not. There is some argument as to whet... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Ideally it will make no difference.But, if you are going to use USB, with asynchronous playback, then it may, if only because your DAC will control the clock. I think the difference would normally be small, especially with modern DACs. Better to f... | |
| What can I do with an old Harbeth M30 midrange driver You could make a center channel. :) | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. If they are ported, seal the port with a rag. Repeat. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Strictly speaking, encoding is not used in Class D. There is no conversion of one type of data to another. Instead Class-D relies on feedback, and a great deal of it. It is a comparative technique. That’s the nature of Class D and why it remains o... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification FYI, Class D is NOT digital, it is analog all the way through. There are no zeros and ones. Class D is analog, but the output is switched, so IMHO it's arguable to say there are no zeroes and one's. There are, in the output stage. However, the c... | |
| I am hunting for a very high end manged power filter. I would probably suggest you split up your needs. Use a computer grade power switcher, along with great conditioners. I mean, Furman makes conditioners which have a bank of switched outlets, which is great, but if you want fancier switching you ma... | |
| To buy grounded or not to buy grounded. That is the question. Based upon measurements and listening tests; I have recommended to people, to ground only one piece of their interconnected equipment. The interconnects will provide static dissipation through the secondary ground connection & nuetral. They of... | |
| To buy grounded or not to buy grounded. That is the question. Under no circumstances should you remove a power (i.e. safety) ground when the manufacturer provides for it. Certain devices with removable cords do NOT require it, as evidenced by the IEC connector having only 2 prongs. For instance, my sub woofe... | |
| Soundbars vs Conventional Home Theater Sys I've heard the Sonos and it is pretty decent. The biggest issues had to do with connectivity, but that was a couple of years ago. | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? My experience with their processor / pre was poor. Same for Onkyo. I'd go with NAD instead. | |
| Replace CJ with new equipment You know, I got to hear the Audio Research tube integrated recently and it was really quite nice. Kind of straddles the older ARC clinical sound with modern warmth. Not CJ like juiciness, but more towards Parasound like warmth |
