| Size of Midrange Drivers 6.5" midrange drivers in my Hyperion HPS-938 speakers cover range of 230-3000Hz. They have ferrofluid suspension instead of traditional "spiderweb". Here is what hyperion says about it:"The Magnetic Fluid Damping System (M.F.D.S.) is another innov... | |
| Is It Ironic? Yes, too much resolution sometimes can be a bad thing - when listening to some horrible recordings from 50 years ago. They sounded OK on less resolving system. | |
| How loud is loud? I noticed that in spite of Fletcher-Munson curve some gear still plays lows and highs at low volume while other gear quits and sounds midrangy. Also, room itself plays role. In my room playing soft sounds cleaner with better imaging. I suspect it ... | |
| Is It Ironic? "Really good" is subjective opinion. I find older Rolling Stones record not so great sounding but have 2010 remasters that sound much better. Early Beatles recordings sounded just horrible, but to my surprise some people find them great sounding. ... | |
| How loud is loud? It depends on the recording. Constant high level will numb your ears and reduce dynamics. Rock bands often start at lower volume adding more later. Once I attended concert that was so loud that I could not open my mouth because my lungs were vibra... | |
| New Apple TV & Airport Express Mceljo, Both, Apple TV and AE have problem:AE has huge jitter artifacts on analog outputs (much better on digital out) while Apple TV converts 44.1kHz CD sample rate to 48kHz loosing sound quality on conversion - subject of many complaints to Appl... | |
| Another CD-Player vs. PC question: In_shore, Many Jazz albums, World music, Indian Classical music to name the few genders. Anytime I find interesting record it is only audio CD. Perhaps the most common popular titles are available on LP. It is also possible that existing database ... | |
| USB veresus FIREWIRE? I only stated why they removed Firewire (did not cost Apple anything) from the Ipod. It was a big thread to security.from 2007:A security consultant based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds without the ... | |
| Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit Tomcy6, AFAIK dither is not "done" but happens automatically. Imagine converting level that is exactly 50% between two LSB values. Because there is always some random noise LSB will oscillate 0 to +1 at about 50% rate. When value is at 3/4 then LS... | |
| Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit Mitch4t - Thanks! | |

| USB veresus FIREWIRE? Companies are fighting for every penny. Change in video ports is an example. My wife used few company laptops over the years and every time port needed new adapter to connect to monitor. Ports are often the same but name and connector changed to a... | |
| Best HiRes/lossless format and why? One option is to remove timing by using networking. It will make computer and playback program (or format) irrelevant. It doesn't even matter that I use computer for other things (it is my main computer) at the same time. Timing is recreated on th... | |
| Amp improvement since 1994? Look at power supplies in the newest Rowland amps - they are line and load regulated high frequency (1MHz) switchers that are extremely quiet. For that reason he uses switchers in preamps (where efficiency plays no role) - instead of linear power ... | |
| Anyone into cassettes? I had AIWA AD-F810 long time ago. It had HX-PRO in addition to Dolby C. HX-PRO was a servo on the bias. In short, bias is non-audible high frequency recorded with music that reduces distortions of the tape. Not enough bias and sound becomes less c... |
