| Let's talk Tweeters! I have discovered something:The very best tweeter to reproduce a Kazoo is an AMT.That is all.E | |
| Class D = Trash? Those imaging effects are what happens when you have a mismatched speaker pair. Either drivers or crossover components did not match.Best,E | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Minimize motion of the speaker. Sometimes this merely takes mass. The great force of woofers can move the entire speaker, and cause distortion. Minimize the surface area that makes contact with the floor. I personally am liking IsoAcoustics produc... | |
| Class D = Trash? Having had the chance to hear ICEPower amps the same day as a complete Pass system I have to say I can't concur with the OP, and that the writing style, and omission of specific details has me honestly scratching my head about his / her intentions... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars Used Monitor Audio.. I think you could get the platinums. That is my vote. You are also in the range of B&W, Wilson's, Focal's and who knows what. Oh, if you can swing a Sonus Faber Stradivari... :) Best,E | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment No worries. My only thing is, I think we’re hearing better re-mastering, not a better technology. << shrug >> The one place I was able to directly compare MQA to non MQA tracks, 2L I heard no such dramatic differences.However, recent M... | |
| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? I was thinking MoFSL. Sounds explicitly made for a cheap car stereo. | |
| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? Early CD really vary. For some reason, Dark Side of the Moon was often sent around in analog master form, then was final-mastered at each CD pressing, so there are a number of different quality CD’s for the same recording out there. Then there is ... | |
| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? Blue,No. Jitter is usually considered an issue on the playback, but I suppose ADCs could also have it.Read up on the mastering process. You start from raw recordings, with coughs, spits, excess breathing... and multiple tracks and boil it down to ... | |
| Top resistors I'm mostly with @salectric though sometimes I want to try some of the really exotic thick-film types, that come in TO type containers like this:http://partsconnexion.com/resistors_caddock_mp.htmlPut a heat sink on them and I think they would make ... | |
| Top resistors @pbnaudio Nope, here is a better example:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Welwyn-Components-TT-Electronics/EMC2-4R7K/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs%2f2%2...These are quite common in amplifiers. They come in a variety of useful resistor values, but are also fu... | |
| Wife trouble They are only bi-polar in the top. Thick cloth cover for the console? :) | |
| Experience with Parasound P5? @MTdunn I actually e-mailed Richard Schramm / CEO of Parasound about the DAC in the P5 vs. the integrated. He said the DAC in the P5 was just a convenience, but the Integrated has a much more serious and better sounding DAC built in. I personally ... | |
| Tidal and MQA I'm not sure the level of MQA support. I've read Tidal users getting 96/24 but not sure exactly the app.Some work may need to be done to ensure you aren't outputting via the Windows mixer. Usually to get higher / bit perfect output from Windows yo... | |
| suggestions for Windows 10 software please, , laptop to USB DAC, AIFF files, remote app I prefer media monkey in large part due to how I like to organize my music libraries on disk. I think MM does the easiest/best job with this, and also makes it easy to re-organize them if I store incorrectly. I also find MM gives me much better fe... |
