| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Davehrab: good post. Glad to see someone with more ee experience chiming in. All extremely interesting and useful. | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Jfrech: I think Spirit is basically right, but what I'm seeing that the difference amounts to is the distinction between the traditional "power conditioning" we're so far familiar with and this emerging new field of "electronic noise reduction" - ... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Tboooe: from the looks of it the Entreq unit may remain a bit of a mystery for the time being since any English-language description of it I've seen is so hopelessly mangled from the translation from Swiss. I have no experience with it (and don't ... | |
| 13yr old speaker upgrade I'll echo what Tls49 said, but do you suspect the crossover b/c you're not getting any sound output from the speaker at all? If that's the case, I'd first check to see if your speakers have any fuses (possibly a dirt simple fix)...or, if it really... | |
| Is it just me? Tony, didn't mean to suggest that my post was the only possible interpretation of the OP. But, I know exactly the kind of experiences you relate to. In fact I think we all do...enough so that I imagined Mlman probably understood that as well and, ... | |
| Is it just me? All of the above, plus maybe the day-to-day voltage swings from your incoming power to your dwelling. See about getting a plug-in voltage meter (not very expensive I think) and examine readings the next several times to see if there's any variatio... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki, hmmm. Thanks for your comments. Will see if I can keep a more open mind on the topic in the future... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki, sorry for my delayed return, but I imagine that what Charles is referring to is reflected in the fact that most equipment modders (and I realize that not every single one of them out there is legit, but many are) usually start by swapping... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? BTW, check this out, it's a good read: www.audiostream.com/content/draft | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I think digital will swing fine if it will ever get the analog right, plain and simple. IMO, they can at least start with tossing ALL switching-mode power supplies into the garbage where they belong. (I no longer think they really have a place in ... | |
| Do I have a "balance" problem? Does your system occupy a rack or cabinet in between your speakers and, if so, how far away from the front wall are your speakers? Even if you don't normally have domestic permission to move the speakers out as far as 1/4 the distance from the fro... | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? In my own case, I just never did, at the time I was considering the idea, get past the extra cost and complexity (especially since I use a DAC, which have required an extra A-to-D and D-to-A conversion). And I'd be curious to know what kind of vol... | |
| Poor recordings that are now great. I see. IME amps have always been the trickiest to get right in a system. Maybe that's made worse by that fact that there seems to be such slim pickings for them these days. It seems easier by far to get revved up about some really good preamp cand... | |
| Poor recordings that are now great. "Your final conclusion of using good, bad and middle of the road recordings to evaluate gear lends credence to my initial assertion, does it not? In any case, top notch gear has not had much of an influence in moving past that 'barrier' until now"... | |
| Poor recordings that are now great. None of this may be new, but it seems to me that no matter how much gear swapping or modifying you've done to a system, you still may yet do something that ends up more than superficially changing your own subjective 'evaluation' of a given record... |
