| Skating force at 45rpm .The linear groove velocity of a 12 inch LP is about 2 1/2 time faster at the beginning of the side than at the end. If the anti skate was that dependent on speed you would need to slowly change it as the record plays.A 33 1/3 LP at the beginning ... | |
| Pure Music volume control through iPad .I use it with an iPad and Remote and don't notice a delay. There may be a very small one but not like your sitting there waiting for it to react.I also use it sometimes with Screens which is a VNC program when I want to play with the preferences ... | |
| My audiophile take on the symphony last night. .I don't think you can separate the two. If you hear the instruments spread out around the stage in the correct places then the imaging is good and you have a big soundstage. If the soundstage is collapsed you have poor imaging.Isn't that correct?. | |
| My audiophile take on the symphony last night. .Difficult to comment unless I was there siting near you. I would think a rolled off high end would be a problem with your seats or the hall. Hard to imagine they all had instruments that were rolled off.Soundstage is a different issue. Unless the... | |
| What would you upgrade next if you had my hifi ? .Are those wind chimes ?Is it breezy in your room?. | |
| How do you know when to replace a tube? .They do gradually degrade but can also just quit working.That would not be the problem with the sound changing from beginning to the end of the album. That can be caused by improper cartridge alignment.I'm with the others; buy a new set of tubes ... | |
| Why has audio become so specilized over the years? .OKDuh, because the answer to your query is obvious if you take a few seconds to think about it. why has everything become so specialized over the years?Pick anything... cameras, cars, toasters, medical devices, spacecraft, weapons, wine bottle op... | |
| Why has audio become so specilized over the years? .Granted, today audio systems's provide greater fidelity of soundDuh, isn't that whole purpose of the exercise?The systems have evolved and they sound better. It is what it is. I don't see the problem.. | |
| How much uncompressed music in Ipod classic? .Maximum size of a CD is .7GB so that would be about 240 CDs. If you figure the average is closer to .5GB it would hold 330 or so.. | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .SorryI just thought maybe you had since it is exactly the same wording in this Crown paper.http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/amps/damping_factor.pdf. | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .Kirkus, good point, I didn't occur to me that somebody might be confused if they picked the incorrect meaning of EMF.. | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .In a dynamic system, I rather doubt you can have one without the other.It is very easy to have EMF without a magnetic field. Voltage without a path means no current. No current means no magnetic field.Since the impedance is very low the current i... | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .Electricity and magnetism are interchangeable. Not at all, they go hand in hand but are entirely different beasts. It is the magnetic field generated by the current in the coil that is pushing against the speaker magnet that dampens the motion. S... | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? .Liguy, did you cut and paste that from a tech for dummies web site?I think it is a rather poor explanation because it is the magnetic field which damps the motion, not back EMF.The amount of force it takes to move a generator (ringing speaker in ... | |
| First Watt: current vs voltage .Stan, sort of. For a given input voltage an ideal voltage source will maintain a constant output voltage no matter what the load i.e. no matter how low the load impedance goes and no matter how much current the load draws. This requires the amp t... |
