| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Phase matching of subs-to-mains should always be optimized at the applicable crossover frequency, and the measurement point to define the match should be located (precisely) at the intended listening position. OK, with you so far... When ported sp... | |
| Speakers in Anime ... Can you tell the brand / Model? :) @contuzzi - I'm sorry! I did not know that actually! Best,E | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Virtually all such circuits cause significant channel tracking imbalance, and some add other phase and distortion anomalies that seriously degrade any aural benefit.vtvmtodvm:That's pretty breathtaking in it's scope. While I do agree: I wish man... | |
| Cleaner music when laptop is on battery vs plugged in Just to add a litte. Usually when there is a ground loop in analog, we hear it as a hum. According to some old measurements from Stereophile, you could have a ground loop via USB which does not cause a hum but instead results in excessive jitter. ... | |
| Cleaner music when laptop is on battery vs plugged in I personally use a mini Linux PC plugged into the wall, with my audio plugged into a Furman. This keeps the PC supply outside the Furman's noise filtering.Also, in addition to the switch mode noise, there's been evidence of ground loops occuring O... | |
| Speakers in Anime ... Can you tell the brand / Model? :) I have to admit, the purple instead of black finish is growing on me. :) E | |

| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers @likecap Interesting they are made with Focal Tweeters, and another, non-ceramic woofer. :) I wonder if they add color? :) Best,E | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? you know, honestly, while I do not recommend cheater plugs, if using them, removing Cable TV, and or making sure your pre and turntable are hooked up to the same outlet doesn't fix it: 1 - You don't have a ground loop, you have noise. Try turning ... | |
| Looks like Tidal is doomed! The last line attempts to focus on PR, but the article itself makes it plain there are serious financial issues involved. Being behind in royalty payments is recoverable, but this could also be a giant death spiral. What I like about Tidal is the ... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! On NAD: I really like my current NAD 3020 D, listening to it now, but NAD has also made a few digital stinkers too. :) Even if I like the brand, I may not like everything it's produced.Best,E | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! I think that there's no reason for Art to do so. Your ears are the only things that matter. These are devices, not museum pieces. If you are trying to impress others, then all you need to know is the buying price and find some review which validat... | |
| ISO Acoustics Modular Aluminum stands... Listening to classical music on my desktop set up right now. The stands let me angle the speakers upwards. The speakers are solidly mounted, while at the same time unable to carry vibrations through the cabinet to the desktop. I also use on under... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers I also want to point out that many, many drivers have break up modes / ringing in the top end of their usable range. Dealing with this is not all that difficult or new. How it is dealt with in crossover design depends a great deal on the next comp... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers AFAIK, damping the FR damps the ringing as well. Something about this is how minimum-phase devices work. It’s not intuitive. We believe that a passive or active EQ would affect the frequency but not time domain, but I’ve read otherwise. In rooms, ... |
