| Is it all in my head?? Infinitely better than trying to cook them into compliance! That is to say that, IME, most wires that have Very little or no insulation, do not seem to require any break in at all...with the possible exception of silver conductors, which I don't w... | |
| Is it all in my head?? One thing I believe I do know by now, is that the insulation known as PVC is just plain terrible...I mean it’s hot stinking garbage...just no good way to apply it for sound quality’s sake. It’s that smooth, usually black or dark grey, rubbery mate... | |
| Is it all in my head?? I've built speaker cables and IC's, but have never attempted power cords. | |
| Is it all in my head?? An ee told me once (and I’m not nearly an ee) that sound was primarily determined by power-vs-length-vs-geometry. Other things like noise cancellation or group delay caused by insulation thickness and material also enter into it. The actual calcul... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Welcome to audio! Where you generally first have to hear a given difference or effect for yourself...and then struggle to find the evidence or proof of its existence after the fact. That’s because there is actually a lot about this hobby that tech... | |
| Power Uber Alles ? @erik_squires,Interesting thread, judging from responses so far, there doesn't appear to be any evident correlation between power and sound quality, per se. In my own example above, the only different element changed was increased power and all ot... | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Hi Adley,I like them both! My first attachments to classical violin were of massed sections...what glorious harbingers of melodic line they are. Nearing twenty, I discovered it was a main-instrument fascination of mine when I was turned on to Jean... | |
| Wet carpet under system Hope you don't have LP's near that area. The longterm problem is going to be mold. Decades ago part of my record collection was on carpeting that was soaked from an air conditioner that leaked while I was on vacation. 90% of the LP's were ruined w... | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. @n80,Yes, I believe so and Star Wars is also great.And Jerry Goldsmith's work for Planet Of The Apes (1970) must have been influenced by Bartok and Stravinsky. | |
| Power Uber Alles ? It all depends on what it is you're trying to do.Can you get by with a 100 watts...uh, like...yeah!! But, if you want better bass sound in a normal size room, you can always expand and go for better results. Put it this way: I have 3 stereo amps i... | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. One of the more perfect marriage of film and music I can recall was from a movie called "Sorcerer" (1977). An ambitious William Freidkin film that was overshadowed at the time of release by a little thing called Star Wars. The score is by Tangerin... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Us baby boomers will be dying out...that may be about all she wrote by the time that happens.Still, there's actually never been a better time for "affordable audio" (our terms, not the manufacturers'). Too bad the overriding perception among audio... | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" Yes, finding a cure for all those underlying things (colorations, mud, hash, noise) was what got my system over the hump. The final breakthrough for me on that happened earlier this year and now I'm a different man. I still don't know how to act a... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Possible advantages and possible disadvantages to this. Advantages: CD’s are made with stampers, which wear over time and are periodically replaced with a new one during a production run. But when burned by a laser, pits and land edges are more cl... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat The "seriously low electric bill" sorta confirms what I was thinking to begin with, that your products may be applying a certain amount of PFC to the panel and system. I know that PFC can be measured, although I've never done it, so I don't know h... |
