| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Bob, I was talking about the output voltages having different amplitudes because they get amplified by different amounts. Isn't Whitlock saying that it will still reject noise even if the signals aren't balanced? I don't think that is the same as ... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? even if their amplitudes are slightly different. I thought one requirement for a high CMRR was that an equal input was amplified by an equal amount so they cancel? How does that get corrected in the next stage?That is no different from using multi... | |

| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Sidssp, There are many forms of distortion. SETs are the most linear devices on the planet. How does that equate to distortion generator? I lived through the distortion wars of the 80's where we ended up with vanishingly low distortion on amplifie... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? I would like to point out that it's not all lollipops and roses. One unmentioned difficulty is that for everything to work as designed you have to have a circuit capable of producing 2 signals that are exactly the same except for their polarity. I... | |
| Squezebox + iTunes + FLAC Mr. Brass, iTunes can't play FLAC so you have to convert the file to something iTunes can play. Load that file into iTunes and play it.Mgattmch, unless you use a player like Amarra or Pure Music that controls the output rate of Core Audio on the f... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Audiogalore, I've never heard there was less chance of phase shift in a balanced circuit, Could you please explain? | |
| Squezebox + iTunes + FLAC Itunes support just about anything you want. I don't know if there is a limit but I play 24/96 no problem. . | |
| Squezebox + iTunes + FLAC You must convert the Flac to something iTunes can use, AIFF is fine. What OS do you use? I use MAX on my Mac to do the conversion. Google "convert flac to aiff " and you will find lots of stuff, much is free.Before you spend any money at HDtracks ... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? All things being equal, truly balanced is no better than single ended. Without regard to any budget considerations I only use single ended.My sources run through 3 stages of gain before reaching the speakers. Three triode tubes. I have no noise un... | |
| Why not horns? Phase shifts can occur because the drivers are different distances from your ears. This can be corrected physically with driver placement. That's one reason you see speaker boxes that slope back to get the tweeter voice coil aligned with the woofe... | |
| Why not horns? Ralph, I'm glad we have found common ground on the horn issue after butting heads on single ended Vs. balanced, and I understand your point about phase shift in crossovers, but trying to do time alignment by phase shift in crossovers seems to me t... | |
| Why not horns? Macro, you are a bit off base on that one. It is one of the common misconceptions in audio. Your description of being physically aligned is correct but your description of phase and polarity isn't.A difference in phase means a difference in time. ... | |
| Why not horns? Mapman, I see, then my horns are very laid back using your definition. IMHO this has everything to do with how speakers are place in the room and very little to do with the type of speaker. Don't let comments like those from Unsound dissuade you. ... | |
