| Width of Stage The big difference (warmth of LP aside) is the width of the stage, is quit a bit wider when playing the LP! Is this normal?Yes, no, maybe, and all open to interpretation.Other than the additional mainly high frequency noise in vinyl, the other big... | |
| Width of Stage Which does not change at all that what you stated was categorically wrong. Why not take the time to learn something critical to the hobby instead of repeating inaccurate information and misleading people?No room for a full course on the history of... | |
| Width of Stage If you can hear them on your LP and SACD, but not CD, unless your CDP has some issue, the odds are it is just not mixed the same. They are mixed differently, more often than not, especially a 25yr old CD, not to mention the record likely has some ... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about flac audio? also when i made a 1 gb virtual hard drive from my pc's ram memory and import audio into the virtual ram drive and play the audio from the ram the sound quality is improved 100% like listening to the studio master tape can somebody explain this... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? There is no "soundstage" below about 80-120Hz.Real stoundstage is a combination of monaural clues, so not really impacted by phase-shift except perhaps at speaker cross-over frequencies and perhaps room nodes, and differential timing, i.e. the tim... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? This is an apples and oranges thing. This is a digital signal with very fast edge speeds, using RCA jacks. RCA jacks are not impedance controlled, and we have no idea whether any attempt at edge speed control (or termination) was implemented on th... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? I am thinking you have not designed a commercial speaker, let alone a commercial speaker family before. kenjit876 posts05-13-2020 12:04pmOTS drivers can be excellent, but you are limited to their parameters so it can be difficult if building a ... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about flac audio? I can’t say this in a nice way, but this statement is made up. There is no basis for making it and absolutely no way to justify it. I have to assume it comes from a lack of understanding of digitized and reconstructed analog signals, and a belief ... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? sebs,See my post above about rooms and speaker room interaction. I think the "Not sure why many of us chasing for perfect sound swapping gear but not adapting rooms acoustically... ", comes from the "throw money at the problem" approach, because i... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Uhmmmm, most copper wires for flexible cable is annealed, which does cause recrystalization and improves conductivity, but importantly also makes it softer and more workable (and less likely to break). Some copper wire is intentionally not anneale... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? Progression of a speaker company:1) Make from OTS drivers2) Have OTS drivers tweaked.3) Have driver company manufacture to your spec.4) Buy sub-components from driver companies and assemble.5) Full turn-keyWhere you are in that progression is a fu... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Me thinks Nordost marketing people come to audio forums for inspiration ;-) | |
| How many people here generally buy used? Rarely buy new audio equipment except a DAC or 3, but don't buy really old either, typically 2-5 years old. I have a tendency to open things up and "play" so like to mitigate my cost exposure. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? You may be sure, but I think most others would find it to be a equivalency that is not false. It illustrated the difference between factually different, and detectable by human alone different, which is the argument on any cable directionality dis... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? What difference?- If the difference is not frequency dependent, or at least the dependency on frequency is small within the audio frequency band, then the impact of crystal structure would be akin to changing wire size.- I am not aware of any non-... |
