| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion @viridian I am in complete disagreement with the OP.I made several points. Do you disagree with everything?Does everything sound the same on all systems?Do no recordings ever present any sense of depth?Do all/no systems present depth?@ kosst_amoja... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion I can name many speaker brands where I agree with Mr Kait ... something never anticipated | |
| Amp "timing" ? pratnoun (præt ) slang. incompetent or ineffectual person, a fool. Derogatory.Accurately describes a fair segment of the audiophile community <weep>IF someone speaks of the timing of a component, RUN, don’t walk away.Systems have timing. Com... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? A 0-180 degree control is NOT adequate.It is with a Phase invert | |
| The Science of Cables Pro and HiFi cables are made to make money. FULL STOP. In both cases, the uninformed consumer is fair game.Holding Pro companies’ feet to the fire is extremely hypocritical given the mountains of malarkey which pervades the HiFi cable market.In th... | |
| The Science of Cables This last page is the most unscientific hilarity seen in many a long while.My company wired LA studios for about 15 years. We used Belden, Mogami, Canare, Monster, <some I forget> depending on what the client wanted.The studio owners expende... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations I normally have my subs' XO @ 105Hz. There is plenty of localizable information at full level at that setting. Adding an additional source would likely play havoc with the mid-bass imaging.All I'm pointing out is that a swarm may not be the optimu... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations millercarbon,Not all of us require homogenous bass through out the listening room. Some want it dead nuts accurate in one small area.My head occupies 0.0825% of my listening room. Anyone who wants to listen sits in the 'hot seat.' It's not a socia... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations Any sub that does not have variable slopes, 0°->180° continuous phase adjustment and phase invert should not be considered. Unless one is very lucky, getting good integration sans these may be difficult.Many claim to have a great setup, but if... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? One must remember that a filter alters both the phase and magnitude of the signal. This is represented by a phasor vector. See https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/phasors.htmlAdjusting the phase control does not adjust level, only phas... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? +1 on ML 800x for configurability600x is $600, ported and might integrate better with ported mainsA sub MUST have 0 to 180 phase control, phase invert, 3 and 4th order slopes in addition to level and frequency.The ML x series do and have the advan... | |
| The Science of Cables I'm not a sceptic.I don't believe in magic.2C½(LR) - yup, that's a new filter.Add in more LCR for Y - yup another new filter.Change loop area - yup, that changes LC - yup, another new filterOnly a magician would expect no changeDO THE MATH | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds No, I'm not saying that Nordost cause clipping.Clipping has a distinct sonic signature and one does not need to compare amps to determine it is happening.Interwoven vs parallel cables also have distinct sonic signatures. I would have been ... | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds If I hear an amplifier clipping, I don't need to compare to know it. | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds Confirmation bias is 'experiencing' a change where there is none.Having messed with the math, manufacture and sonics of multi conductor cables in decades past, an interleaved/interwoven construction clearly has electrical and sonic benefit... |
