| Speakers "Disappearing" Whether or not ones eyes are opened or closed during the listening session also plays a role as to how well the speakers disappear. | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies Can you really improve the quality of music from a red book CD by simply copying to some other format? No. Data on a red book CD is stored as a cda file. As such, copying a cda file results in the same cda file being copied elsewhere. Ripping a cd... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait I understand. I just figured that because you are able to hear a "significant" improvement, the type of test wouldn't even matter. Never mind. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses geoffkait - It goes without saying the fuse, even if it’s a stock fuse, will sound significantly better in one direction than the other. How about you contact me privately, so we can begin communication regarding your ability to hear a significant... | |
| stacking DAC on Monster power conditioner It goes without saying that the best option is to avoid stacking when/if possible. If you must stack, the component which does not require passive cooling through vents in its top cover would be the one to place on the bottom. It's component suici... | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching If a speaker manufacturer has the following specs; do they mean the recommended power in 8 ohms or 6 ohms?Neither. I'd imagine the particular speaker manufacturer is providing a spec for minimum amplification because they are wanting to avoid clip... | |
| Anyone have an idea of how much for vintage JBL speakers are? Anyone have an idea of how much for vintage JBL speakers are?Yes. You’ll want to ask for Greg.https://www.homeaudiosound.com/ | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? An additional variable people seldom consider is the playback level.Some program has a level at which it is just right. A db or two either side and it's not. +1In fact, I'd go further to state that *all* program has a level at which it is just rig... | |
| Audio Education Does anybody have any good references or sources to read up on the physics of- Amps, preamps, ohms, resistance, etc. Technology surrounding audio equipment. Read any posts on this forum from almarg and/or atmasphere. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I am not a fuse adopter, with digital front end. By the way, I haven’t read anything herein (could have missed it though) about cases where fuses are not readily accessible and therefore require one to open a factory sealed component and risk void... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" I'd have to think the better ones ears are at localizing/pinpointing a sound source, the more difficult it becomes for the sound source to "disappear". The lessor the total number of speakers, the easier it is to detect any particular ones locatio... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses The owner of Harbeth Speakers has an interesting challenge that he has offered for years.Certain folks here on Agon get all bent-out-of-shape at the mere thought of a "challenge". | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching Thank you @atmasphere | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching The volume (power) level and the impedance of the speaker are different. For a given impedance regardless of the power, if the impedance is raised the distortion will be lower. So ideally the speaker would be of the efficiency and impedance that y... | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching To this end generally speaking, an 8 ohm speaker will sound better that 4 ohms and a 16 ohm speaker better than that, all other things being equal. This is simply because no matter the amp, it will make less distortion into higher impedances, and ... |
