| Are all amps being built wrong? It is proportional to current.Just they shove it across a resistor and use voltage amplification from the microphone.On the output side. the driver is not very linear to current.@rudy It was all cool into the cable impedence was mentioned. | |
| Recommendations—2.0 Setup For Music|Film|TV (~$3K-$8K) Can you tolerate used?If you need a CD player turntable it all adds up.Speakers are where you’ll find that most of the action happens.,.. and it is like arguing religion. They graph flat in amplitude, but if they are not good in phase and time, t... | |
| Crossover issue. Would you happen to have a DMM and a tone generator? | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? BS…I bet that 70s amp has been good since the 70s.The Klipsch are attractive because they are bright. They sound detailed in shop, but after a short while you have a head ache.The room just exacerbates it.Get rid of them while you can. | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp I still use a shielded power cord however. This covers the AC wires in a shield that is grounded at the outlet and has no connection at the Luxman for noise reduction. Where does the noise come from that gets in there without the shield?And what ... | |
| Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover If you’re going to do it, then I would suggest going to a FIR based DSP so you have the capability to also equalises phase.That is where a significant amounts of the magic happens in passive speaker crossovers (opt not).Or one can believe that spr... | |

| Townshend Springs under Speakers Thank you @prof | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Did you think this was ASR?OK… What is ASR?Do you recommend it?Apart from 3rd hand reports from Richard Vandersteen (albeit weighty opinion in relation to use with Vandersteen speakers),So what makes his speakers less responsive to springs?it does... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers f you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid.And without some measurements, then even a “valid opinion” may not be a provable fact. It’s still anecdotal at best. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... That’s easily explained by Voodoo Science.@turnbowmWell let’s pretend that people actually DO hear a REAL difference.Then what is the causal mechanism that is happening?One would think that they could put a scope (or A2D) on the power coming out t... |
