| Equipment Rack kavakat119 posts12-08-2016 5:11pmGood People:I came across a fine piece of scholarly work from an old Stereophile Magazine regarding the numbers of techniques for vibration control. Check this out. It is scholarly yet written for the layman to und... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable?  whitestixI haven't seen much of GK posting, but he can be relied upon for contributing nothing but nonsense to the discussion. What? Whoa! Where's that coming from. Oh, California. Never mind. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? agear: What kind of spurious signals and how was it measured? Anyone?to which atmasphere replied,"That should not be hard to do. Place a preamp on the stand to be tested. Run the volume up with a shorted input (phono would be best). Subject the pr... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Hartley 18" and/or 24" subs might be flat to 20 Hz. Everything else is a pig in a poke. | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? mapman OP"Actually here is what the ear hears and its far from flat at the extreme top and bottom range of our ears:http://www.independentrecording.net/irn/resources/freqchart/ear_sensitivity.htmFor example according to this what measures correctl... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? geoffkait: If the SPL is 3 dB down at 20 Hz then you will hear 20 Hz as half as loud as any frequency that is measured as 0 dB. If 20 Hz was found to be - 6 dB it would be 1/4 as loud as a frequency at 0 dB.to which atmasphere replied,"Actually in... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? atmasphere3 dB (down) at 20 Hz which is half as loud at 20 HzTo be audibly half as loud is usually considered 6-10db on account of the ear being on a logarithmic scale. actually decibels are already logarithmic; hearing is not on a logarithmic sca... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? jetter"Geoff, above and in many discussions you have stated that the wire drawing process impacts the wire crystal structure making it inherently directional.Assuming it does, I think the question is does this impacted crystal structure in some wa... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? atmasphere"we’re talking about metals that are 99.999999% (sic) pure in the case of copper.This is a common myth! No copper produced for audiophile or other uses is better than 99.99%. Anyone telling you anything else is lying. The fact is that wh... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? kraftsound8 posts12-06-2016 10:00am+geoffkait Sure, extrusion does stretch the metal and as I wrote that may indeed be a factor that can explain inherent directionality. I can’t find any other…I’m not talking about stretching. I'm talking about de... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? most things are spec’s +- dB so for example a speaker might be described as "flat" from 20 to 20kHz +- 3 dB. so it could be down 3 dB at 20 Hz which is half as loud at 20 Hz. No speaker is ruler flat thus when most speaker companies state their sp... |
