| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work I know that the performance of these two elements will be tightly coupled, so they need to match. ... assume that they have optimally paired their own components to work well together Utter bleedin’ nonsense 😲 Other than face plate esthetics... | |
| Cable curmudgeon Oh yeah, that’s it. Just buy alarm system wire and be done with it. To each his own. If the high priced spread makes it worse, should he still buy it? When I worked in professional studios where innumerable award winning albums and movies we... | |
| Cable curmudgeon The OP “compared” a shitty Monster cable from decades ago to alarm system cable. Just as pop music has devolved [see Why is Modern Music so Awful? - YouTube] and most quality has disappeared [see ieLogical Lossy], perhaps modern listeners are a... | |
| Cable curmudgeon The reviewer vs driver comparison is a red herring. Whilst a reviewer may write more entertainingly, there is no training of one’s hearing to match the program. Learning to drive is matching one’s input to the desired vehicle behavior. People cl... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Rel subs are made as well as any commercial subwoofer. Don't think I said anything about their build quality. My objection to them is the direction the company took. More bling and flash rather than useful features. WAF vs HPF | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers high-level connection is genius No, it isn't as it does nothing to clean up the mains' low end. The interference between the mains and subs makes the bottom nebulous. I'm sure all those extra connections and wire are destroying the sound 😉 ... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers The trade-off of course is whether the benefit of relieving the main amp/speakers of reproducing the lowest frequencies is greater than whatever detriment results from passing the signal through the HP componentry. There is no comparison. If yo... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @mitch2 Sorry, I was lazy and did not look up the M7-HP. IMO, it’s overly complex and definitely overpriced. I eschew as many connections as possible. DIP switches have no- place/nowhere in an audio cct. I’m talking about a simple passive HP fo... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers The room becomes less of a factor the more subs you add. With a swarm (4 subs) the room becomes almost a non issue. No it doesn’t. The work done by Toole is for even bass everywhere, not accurate bass anywhere. It’s simple to add a first ... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @akg_ca Spot on It’s simple to add a first order passive HP to roll the lows out of the mains. The -3dB point should be slightly above the mains’ anechoic -3dB. Doing so effectively doubles the power available for the rest of the spectrum. Polyst... | |
| Cable curmudgeon A.) cables get much less attention on the pro side whether it is the recording studio or the electric musician. Not so. Professional studios have long been cognizant of cable deltas. One studio had Monster, Mogami, Canare, Belden, etc. and some... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @teo_audio Are you advocating for censorship? @oliver_reid +11 | |
| Cable curmudgeon I often wonder how many times a fine component is auditioned with mismatched cables and discarded as [pick your poison]? @exflute I sat on the other side of glass and mated cables to microphone to preamp. As you heard, they differ. Better? In ... | |
| This cable game is making my head spin ^^^^^^^^^^ Connected to what? | |
| This cable game is making my head spin No, it doesn't give a baseline. Cables interact with their driver and their load and the effects imparted are to the specific system only. There is ZERO probability that cost / model delta will create any specific benefit. It is 100% possible th... |
