| What order? As I've posted elsewhere, you can experiment with blankets and pillows. Throw them on the floor or up on the walls , especially between and behind your speakers. This is a cheap experiment which will reveal the value.I think panels and bass traps ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Can’t really argue with that. :) The separates craze creates it’s own list of extra problems to solve. At the same time, I really really like selecting my own parts. I find it a real difficult thing to want to give control to some one else as to w... | |
| Class D Technology I said this in another thread. :) Anyone can make a switching amp. Making one that sounds good is a whole other thing. Any manufacturer who can bring that kind of engineering talent on board would be VERY VERY lucky indeed. The paper Dr. Marshall... | |
| Amp current - how much high current to go for Hi OP,I think you are concentrating far too much on a single spec. 2 way speakers are usually pretty easy to drive for almost any solid state amplifier, and usually have a very benign minimum impedance around 4 to 8 ohms. How is your room? I would... | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100 The Parasound has a nice DAC built in. Haven't heard it but I am a big fan of the Halo amps in general. Powerful, grain, glare and noise free.Best,E | |
| What Bass Mgmt. & Room EQ Scheme For Me? My suggestion is to run your top's full range, and use an EQ on the subwoofer alone. This gets you around the quality of the DAC and adding A/D => D/A stages unnecessarily while putting the EQ power where you most need it, in your bass. Howev... | |
| What order? Acoustic tuning, but rather than try to DIY it I strongly suggest you call GIK Acoustics. They have places you can submit fotos and get advice. Great products and very knowledgeable staff.Then try Dirac. | |
| Recommend Good Headphones for Traveling I have no problem wiht the comressed foam earbuds, plus, VERY good noise isolation. | |
| unmarked HDCD's Hi guys,I did a lot of research into the subject. For stupid reasons, many CDs were digitally marked as HDCD, but do not take advantage of any of the features of HDCD such as dynamic range expansion or filtering. In essence, they are plain-Jane CD... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! In the professional world, "bi-amping" a single speaker system is always active, meaning it uses an active crossover before the amps. Multi-way active speakers also use this type of crossover. Only in the consumer world is there a question of whe... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! FYI,Found some good references re: Damping factor and speaker sound quality and posted here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/measurements-clearly-explainedBest,E | |
| Measurements - Clearly Explained Here is a paper I just discovered an excellent paper on Damping Factor from Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor#cite_note-3which also references a paper from Nelson Pass discussing how matching the amplifiers to specific speaker... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi @merrillaudio Welcome. I'd like to ask you a few questions about what you pointed out. However as with all transistors, there is a lag between the command to switch and the actual full switch. This is call the dead time. This has been reduce... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Thanks for the support, @asvjerry our contributors make this thread worth participating in. Best,E | |
