| I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology FWIW, I took a peek at Wharfedale’s site and the Former shown in the exploded diagram of their AMT didn’t look familiar to me. It appears to be a yellow colored material and may possibly (I’m guessing here) be a more recent attempt to come up with... | |
| I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology In general, ribbon tweeters may sometimes have that last nth degree of uber detail or resolution compared to ATM's, but not by much at all. The difference may only make it a little easier to blend ATM's with the mid or woofer compared to ribbon. R... | |
| I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology AMT's are great designs IF you pay some attention to one thing. It is by far best for sound quality if the Diaphragm Former is made, as it usually is in any good design, from a silk material. The Former provides the physical support structure for ... | |
| Mapleshade...where's the love? Pierre and his partner in crime (can't recall his name now) have done a great job in documenting what might well be the last gasp of a lot of the also aging artists they've recorded over the last few decades from their Baltimore area location, par... | |
| TUBE or SS PATHS There are no audio paths through which "nothing" is ever added that wasn't part of the original signal. Vinyl, tubes, transistors, tape, digital, wiring - you name it - all of it can be said to color the sound to one degree or another. It's simply... | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? @bache to be honest, it's really the good quality power treatments that have allowed me to be this unique. | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? In my case I use some pricey power treatments (more than $10k), but it improves everything about my system's sound and allows me to consider less expensive gear that others might overlook. I'm building a system with active 3-ways around some inexp... | |
| Auto Room Equalization? Yes, I agree with you Erik 100%, EQ is only one tool in the box!I do know I had a Behringer unit in my system about a decade ago. For many weeks I played around with the Auto Correction function when I got it...and played around...and around... I ... | |
| Auto Room Equalization? I think Audyssey allows for a cut-only approach if you dial it in, but I'm not really aware if there are many others with that capability. I haven't looked at them all, but I'm not so far aware of others that do. | |
| Auto Room Equalization? @almarg Yes, I did end up murdering what I stated that Al said in his post above about typical systems being rather less efficient to our ears in the bass. Al in fact, of course, was Not saying that at all (although I am). Sorry Al.But, the quote ... | |
| Auto Room Equalization? Manual EQ is better than Auto Correction. Plus, I suspect that in the end the microphone just doesn’t interpret our systems the way our ears do...and it might not really matter what measurement parameter you care to talk about: frequency, time, ph... | |
| Using I2S With the Denafrips Terminator and Metrum Ambre? @alvin1118 Would a PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport be compatible, or could be made to be compatible, with I2S into a PONTUS?? Unless I’m wrong, I *think* the Perfect Wave is (HDMI) I2S-A (??). I know it does not have USB out, but I’m still curio... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? Assuming the speakers and system have a neutral perspective, that might depend on how far away the mikes in the recording were. For large scale orchestra, I might like to be "there". For close-miked bands I like them to be "here". | |
| What are important features in a listening chair Try to avoid some fabrics like microsuede which can cause a static build up when you move to get up from it and then go to touch your gear, it can be hell on your digital in winter. Also I avoid the usual cheap leather substitutes than can creak a... | |
| What other hobby or hobbies do you have? Back yard astronomy when I have the opportunity for it, which has not been that often the last decade or so. But, I'm dusting off a planetary Newtonian telescope that I built in 1994 (not quite as difficult as you might think) and will be getting ... |
