| Help, my system sounds lifeless! Parts Connexion has a number of very nice Monitor Audio speakers for sale on Audiogon, i'd jump on any of them. Best,Erik | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions I just received Clarity CMR caps that will go into my 2-way Mundorf/ScanSpeak system soon. ESR was normal, around 0.4 Ohms @1kHz for 10uF. Caps are now puck shaped, instead of cans. About 12% smaller by volume. They also measure really tightly. Li... | |
| Class D Technology @mapman I will not agree to any such prejudices. While I can say that class A lacks notch distortion, it is by no means the only type of distortion or non-linearity! We can't on the one hand talk tech. theory on a subject like notch distortion wh... | |
| Darn Chromebook not playing well with Parasound ZDAC Well you really have to add more information. What software, what output, what bit rate, which ZDAC (original or V 2?? )Also try Computer Audiophile. They are all about the portables. :) Best,E | |
| Class D Technology Inferiority... well, I don’t believe this is true either... but! :) In Class A the transistors (or tube) never switches "off". It’s at least minimally on through the entire voltage swing. This is what causes all the heat. At 0 output volts, the + ... | |
| Anyone having trouble with Tidal cutting out? Using AT&T? I have found them pretty unreliable. | |
| Class D Technology savdllc (can’t "at" you for some reason) you wrote:What I did state is that Class D designs tend to sacrifice fidelity in favor of efficiency, which is true in most cases.This is the bias I was trying to answer, my apologies I did not connect my s... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters OK guys, since we’re talking "3-D" sound. One thing to point out is that it’s a known trick that suppressing speakers around 2.4kHz helps greatly enhance this. It’s not natural. I personally don’t hear live music or acoustic instruments this way. ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters << sigh >> So it’s a little over 1 millisecond. That’s absolutely typical behavior for a 3 way system. If your claim is that it’s impossible to make realistic speakers without being time co-incident, then I’m afraid there are thousands... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Parts Connexion (an Audiogon dealer) is selling a number of Monitor Audio models at very good discounts. Check them out. | |
| Class D Technology savdllcI'm afraid I don't buy your premise that class D is always behind A/B, or even behind class A universally. I'm listening to class D precisely because they were as good as heavily class A biased linear amplifiers, though just like linear amp... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @stevecham I’m going to call on a couple of your claims. Several milliseconds would be equivalent to several feet offset. Very hard for any crossover designer to do. Do you have a link to a particular measurement that shows this? You may mean to ... | |
| best network switch configuration for audio I'm not sure that wall warts WILL cause an issue, but a couple of audiophiles have chased noise problems that ended up being related. No, bandwidth will not be a problem at all, assuming you are running anything more modern than Token Ring. :D :D ... | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" I'll go look for that album! Honestly I stopped buying Barber until recently, her more recent albums are much more enjoyable for me. Best,Erik | |
| best network switch configuration for audio The biggest issue IMHO are not the switches and data but the wall warts and the noise they might inject into the power line. Switches at the rooms are extremely convenient, and often necessary. :-) I have 4 devices in close proximity that need Eth... |
