| DC leakage from power amps The midrange is unlikely to be the place where you blow a resistor, but I'd have to know the schematic. Much more likely to happen on the woofer, but I digress.Put a meter on your amplifier output and measure. DC is easy for any multi-meter to rea... | |
| Tech That Flopped! So one technology that has absolutely not flopped (even if not implemented consistently) are Beryllium domes. It's rare, but multiple driver and speaker manufacturers have jumped on that bandwagon. Speaker makers include:FocalMagicoTADYamaha (long... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? Yes, indeed. Except for the headphone amp, everything that comes out of Pass is gorgeous to look at. The MBL C51 is super nice, so nice that the knob looks almost out of place. Yeah, I wish Kyocera was still making gear. Best,E | |
| Tech That Flopped! I think that the technology of electric cars is far beyond a niche any more, and it was the tech I was more interested in than the brands. Best,E | |
| Tech That Flopped! @dlcockrum So what percentage of hi fi speakers would you say are time aligned? I'm not a Hi Fi industry wizard, but have they occupied a larger market than I know? Erik | |
| Tech That Flopped! Eric, first let me say that despite what might appear to be a pattern of antagonistic responses from me to your posts, I really do look forward to your contributions and respect your opinions, whether I fully agree with them or not. :-)Dammit. A... | |
| Tech That Flopped! Teo,Interesting, but maybe we need a new thread? I'm having trouble following your logic at the end. Best,E | |
| Tech That Flopped! @mr_m Thanks for bringing that up. According to this article, it means both wall and very large cabinet:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker_enclosure#Sealed_.28or_closed.29_enclosuresI need to make a correction to my discussion with @donvito... | |
| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? Mono amps tend to excel in:Stereo separationPower supplyCurrent deliveryHeat dissipationIf you have difficult to drive speakers, or just want to have the absolutely most solid amplifier possible that is the way to go. You aren't going to find a 20... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC I have not auditioned the Mytek Stereo 192, but I can say the Mytek Brooklyn is my favorite among all $2k DAC's. Best,E | |
| Tech That Flopped! DBX records - Never even heard of them! But dbx made a comeback in TV stereo transmission. :) E | |
| Tech That Flopped! I have heard Fritz speakers. I think his careful choice of drivers, balance and price point should not be underestimated.But series crossovers are an absolute niche too. :) E | |
| Tech That Flopped! @unsound As for time aligned speakers: niche (adj.): denoting or relating to products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population. I would say that they qualify. That is not to disparage their fans or man... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! You don't by any chance have multiple ground rods placed far apart? | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! Well, if no house circuit helped, that sucks. One of your power conditioners has balanced outputs, right? I just don't know how many. Are all the outlets balanced? If not, move everything over to the one's that are. Listen again. E |
