| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? You write like a know it all as well. Why don’t you take a leaf from the book of ASR member Matt Hooper/prof (here) and read his comments on subjective listening and opinion (even as posted on ASR). The link is on page 3 with his agreement with A... | |
| Cost break down of hifi system minorl Thanks for the advice, I think that’s the best advice I have been given. yes @minorl presented a good case. | |
| How much is about the recording Yes, seriously. I have no idea about what system you have or how resolving it is. That is not my point. On many of the systems I’ve put together, I can get it to sound absolutely stunning using some very high-quality recordings and the right tune... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Monopulse Loudspeakers here in the UK have made this time alignment issue their main selling point for decades. The designer Allan Hendry has been stating that impulse precision is hard wired into our evolution for survival itself and thus ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @holmz I felt there is no other way for you to get the info you were requesting about gear. The measurements of the gear are different than the measurements of how the gear behaves in a room right? That depends on if it is a signal measurem... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? This is the essence of chat rooms and the internet. Of all the stuff you read how do you filter out what is relevant to you. In my opinion measurements of a product are a poor indicator to whether or not you will like it. A good indicator is cu... | |
| How much is about the recording The key is to get the music you like to sound as good as it can. If you take your system too far in one direction, you'll end up with 3 CDs that sound extremely good and everything else will sound terrible. Seriously? what direction would that... | |
| Cost break down of hifi system 1) The room 2) Speaker and speaker placement 3) Power 4) IC's 5) Components The OP is kind “already invested” in the speakers and amp. I would probably #2 ahead of #1, but that also opens up room correction amps and active speakers. Active... | |
| Preamp with selectable outputs? If the 2 amps have a 12V trigger switch, that could be way less than $2k, but not really with a remote. And it would still require flipping a switch which is not much easier than powering the amps up. I suppose if there are not 2 amp outputs, th... | |
| How much is about the recording ^exactly^… and agree. Most gear is pretty good, and things do not improve as one traverses through the audio chain. If the recording is not too stellar then it is immediately pretty disappointing, but when the recording is good… then as long as ... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment in colloquial speech fast or slow refers to time. For example fast food refers to food that is prepared quickly. There is no mention of distance in that. @kenjit but we’re not talking about cables being like a pizza, or how quickly KCF gets a b... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @holmz You are correct. He could have needed better fuses or IC cables or something else. The question was: how did you know it needed the power cord? What is happening with the power cord that makes it better? Is there a way to measure it... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna Why did you get a Nord instead of the March Audio amp @mazian ? | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Ahh @westcoastaudiophile what is the cause (what are the causes) of that? | |
| A Question About Time Alignment The time it takes for the low notes to arrive at your ears is slower than the highs no t because they are inherently long but because the voice coil of the woofer is mounted behind the baffle whereas for the tweeter it is mounted almost about the... |
