| Anyone tried the 29ga. 5n Pure Silver wire? I assume you have the 10kOhm S&B (BTW, excellent devices!). I imagine the first thing you can do is try out the new config with good quality enameled copper wire (magnet wire, used for voice coils, transformers, etc) that you can probably get ... | |
| Analysis Audio at High End Show Sogood: "Early" Duetta IIs, no tweaks, owner claimed they were in excellent working condition -- they certainly looked beautiful! Cheers | |
| Deqx vs. Behringer or Dbx Digital Crossovers? Are there any direct comparisons in the same speaker systemUh, yes, see my post above! I'll add that the guy upgraded fm the Behringer to the Deqx. But, again, given the total cost of the spkr system, the Deqx was judged an acceptable outlay.Final... | |
| Analysis Audio at High End Show Apparently 6moons (or was it positive-feedback?) was to feature a review this month.I had listened to one Analysis model and compared with a pair of Apogee Duettas. It was big -- but still smaller than the Apogees. They were both in the same large... | |
| Deqx vs. Behringer or Dbx Digital Crossovers? is it worth the extra dollars to spring for the Deqx?As we're talking of a +10x price differential over the Behringer, that's a tough question to answer...The Deqx does sound better in all respects; however, I listened to a unit that's not mine, s... | |
| I need the help of all analog nuts Ed -- GREAT site (& many thanks from at least one analogue user).I'll be sending in info that may be useful, as I get it -- now that there is a reason to search for info!Cheers! | |
| Biamping from a 5 channel amp? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what you're planning to do. Use wire of reasonable quality (shielded single strand is probable better), copper is fine. | |
| Capturing the MUSIC; a furtive cause? What R We... Interesting you should mention that, as Boyk mentions TEMPO as one of the qualities often missing when we listen to music at home. The result is that we would dismiss the PERFORMANCE as being under par -- when in fact, it's the loss of detail due ... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? Dunno really. One thing one could do is spectrum analyse what is on the source matl, what exits the final amplification stage, and compare to measurement of what's coming out of the spkrs, I suppose. I guess most people would probably just sit &am... | |
| Our we Lazy? I own a tube pre Actually, Satch, tubes are very good at amplifying small (source) signals. Eg, a good tube riaa is hard to beat. But, they do need high voltages, buffering output impedances, care with noise, etc, that complicate matters. Oh well! | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? why don't you measure the Nordost cables so you have some idea about what you are comparing?But, Resbeck, those wires -- when attached -- are part of the circuit. Why measure them outside the circuit with a dummy load only? | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? What is the resonant frequency of earwax :>)Dunno, but there's a pole s/where around 15kHz if I remember correctly. With your "direct-line" method, maybe we can dispense with the riaa correction altogether... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Theaudiotweak sez:vibration control in a component will mean that it will draw less current than one with improperly implemented vibration control or none at all. It all starts with self induced losses within the componentIt's interesting you thin... | |
| Simon Yorke S9 with a Schroeder arm ??? I have some idea. First, however, may I confirm that you own one of the very best analogue rigs available. Simply put, the performance level of yr S9 + Allaerts is outstanding, a reference set-up -- to paraphrase Dgad above, you are at a point of ... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? In fact, there IS a very simple cable wire experiment. Take an appropriate length of enameled pure copper wire (~16g), cut into four identical pieces, scrape off enamel at the 8 ends, and use that wire to connect amp->spkrs. There should be a p... |
