| Ever notice change in resisitance of vol control? The only other (!) reason is mechanical: the knob turns differently due to friction (axis touching chassis, lubing changing due to temperature etc).The sonic variability... isn't, don't worry about it. | |
| Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000 Hallo Dekay! Good to see you around these shores again! | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Thanks, Raul. My post was unclear. | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Actually Albert, ...Needle in groove has had 130 years to evolve, CD has had just over 20 yearsAnalogue, being what it is (well, "analogous")lends itself to engineering improvement. The dominant digital format is utlimately limited by its s/ware. ... | |
| Amp or Pre-Pro / What makes a bigger sonic impact? The way you've put the question, the pre/pro will make a difference.The amp should be seen in conjunction with the speakers it's driving -- not as stand alone. | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way More in the neighbourhood 30kHz if the tweet is 8ohm -- it's 0,68 microfarad... Cheers | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way No, no. ASAI understand (& horton as well) you solder the cap to the tweet's + and run a wire fm the cap's other pole to the + binding post. You run a wire fm the tweet's - straight to the -binding post. OTOH, are you sure about that 0,68uf?? | |
| Number of sales: CD vs LP No way are LPs outselling cds, wavs, mp's, etc. The ratio used to be 1:1000 or thereabouts.I had some stats fm a few yrs ago and actually posted them on A'gon -- but can't find them now.Generally, LPs are outselling other small production items su... | |
| Does the width of the ribbon affect sound The area of the ribbon can affect the optimum frequency range of that driver. But "subdued" is strange; sounds like it's not exactly the same impedance as the old one. It will change slightly with time, but it wouldn't jump say 5db in spl... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Zaike: content providers will look to higher resolution as a low-cost way to add value in order for them to charge a premiumCould you spread the word a bit -- as in whisper into marketers' ears about where their next promotion and performance bonu... | |
| Boulder 2008 Assuredly a very good phono equaliser. It's a serious product and far from the (miserable) stuff usually available. Whether it's the best, I wouldn't know and, frankly, I couldn't know (how would I judge that:)).It's unfortunate that at its price ... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Zaike: audiophilia may get a welcome kick in the pants from the availability for customers to choose just how high they'd like their rez.That's my hope as well -- but the ONLY, tiny, indication of this actually being available one day seems to be ... | |
| When to use low pass filter? How much LFE information is there usually between 80-120 hzLots. But I'd be surprised if your front speakers couldn;t cope with it acceptably at least. | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Johnnantais sez:While digitization is a great idea for storing information, music is more than just information, and in the conversion of music to digital quanta, the playback gives us just more information: the music has been filtered out, it's g... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Shadorne notes:If Vinyl was so much better than other mediums then can someone expain why it has never been used as the reference storage medium for the audio industry. I mean why did the recording industry use analog master tapes and now digital ... |
