| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "But if you have never tried it any other way, how could you possibly know any of the stuff some of us are speaking about?"I've never tried jumping off a building, but I've got faith in how the physics would play out:).If it is relevant, I, and by... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "I'm not interested in on-line argument."I know what you mean. I just hate it when people find flaws with my explanations:).Kidding. Peace. When you publish the data that will be a good thing! | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner The hanging curve ball on a line impedance issue explanation is the 40 - 200 foot of romex on the other side of your receptacle.If I'm losing 50% of peak power power in my 6 foot cord then I'm losing another 500% of peak power in my 60 feet of rom... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "And I bet most of the high end cables out there are merely off the shelf wire that everyone else uses. "If you read what is on the Shunyata website, they agree with you."The majority of cable manufacturers buy their wire pre-made from major US or... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "as they are completely running around in circles with the same hollow arguments [which have been convincingly refuted] "This is kind of neat I think. Person 1 can read a thread and come to a strong and definitive conclusion.Person 2 (me) can read... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "If it is sounding better why to question it. Maybe it sounds better because of faith in cables (placebo effect) but final result is what counts. On the other hand cable deniers might hear no difference because of just the opposite - negative plac... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "Probably because we still cannot measure everything the human ear can discern. "I enjoyed your comments. It does seem like the above concept might be more accurately stated as "although we can measure far more than the human ear can discern, corr... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "So if I used lamp cord to power a pair of Levinson mono blocks I'll be ok?"That is a really neat question when you think about it from the manufacturer/designers perspective."I'm going to market a state of the art device for a given market (audio... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "So are you saysing that frequency bandwidth, and the LRC characteristics do not impact the performance of powercords the same as speaker cables and interconnects?"No, (actually sort of yes due to reduced effect of L and parasitic C at 50 or 60 hz... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "Much of the science behind power cords, interconnects and speaker cables has been explained. It takes a good background in Electrical Engineering to understand it."You can't lump in power cords with ic's and speaker cables. Electrical engineers (... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner If this is true; "There is no real controversy. When a scientist can conduct a properly designed experiment such as a controlled blind listening test with only one variable (A stock power cable vs an aftermarket one) using the scientific method (H... | |
| What is Phase Angle and Shifting? "However, I surmise that the difference between a speaker that sounds good and one that does not is a function in large part of whether the harmonic distortion sounds good or bad."Or an amp, or a concert hall, etc. We all like distortion :). | |
| Best Bang 4 the $ Intergrated Amp I'd send him to the local discount electronics shop, off the shelf mass produced integrated amps can sound pretty darn good (to the point of making you wonder why you spent more on your gear). Perhaps he could even bring in his speakers and listen... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Oh. If you do get a sub or two: find drag racing on tv, turn stereo up as high as courage allows, listen to them launch.It is really cool the first time. | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? I had Dynaudio confidence 3's (similar in bottom end spec's to your speaker I think) and went to Vandy 5a's with internal 500wpc powered subs.For me getting the bottom end of the frequency range reproduced at appropriate sound pressure levels was ... |
