| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Yes, Revels are expensive and might be not be to your liking but putting a lot of (from what I've heard) average speakers won't make for quality. I cannot speak of multispeaker home theater systems since I've never had one, but having high quality... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Just judging by the size of your room 901 speakers won't fill it with sound. Why you even try average speaker company like Bose? Why not to go to something like for instance Revel Saloon, that can pressurize room like that and provide extension do... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? I've heard Bose 301, that my friend bought, and it sounded pretty good for $300 speaker, but I wouldn't call it high end (far from it). I bought, perhaps 20 years ago, cheapest of Acoustimass series set consisting of two speakers and subwoofer. I ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Mapman, That's how I feel about it too, right or wrong. I believe that adding additional components or cables might bring relieve in some areas but has to lead to overall lack of transparency. I absolutely agree with you that tweaks, at one point,... | |
| stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective Plato, Saying that I argue for sake of arguing is rude, therefore I don't care to discuss anything with you either. | |
| stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective Plato, There are many speakers that measure pretty flat to 20kHz and are not bright at all. Many headphones have flat response to 20kHz without "unbearable" brightness. Frequency response is not a very good indicator of the sound since it doesn't ... | |
| stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective Also, if you had a system that measured flat +/- 0.5dB 20Hz to 20kHz it would sound unbearably bright and unlistenable to the vast majority of audiophiles and music lovers.Why? Do you suggest that live concerts (20Hz-20kHz +/-0dB) sound unbearably... | |
| Arcam CD23 FMJ skipping Few people alleviate this problem by applying tine drop of oil to plastic gearing.Are you sure lens is clean? | |
| Digital Coax to XLR adapters? Al, you're right 58ns it is. I took fastest hypothetical slew rate corresponding to 6MHz being 1/6e6/2pi=27ns. It would be more realistic to take 1/3 of the cycle for -3dB attenuated signal. I'm not sure if 27ns in series with 25ns should be calcu... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? The controversial: Some folks claim that longer power cables can result in better SQ. The explanation typically offered attributes the improvement to reduced "reflections." That may be nonsenseIt is nonsense for audio cables. I'm not sure about po... | |
| Digital Coax to XLR adapters? I used this transformer and it works (with Benchmark DAC1). Be careful with the 6MHz Canare transformer bandwidth since protocol requires always 64 bits per sample (32bit per each channel)44.1kHz x 64bit=2.82MHz OK96kHz x 64bit=6.1MHz OK192kHz x 6... | |
| Curtains to control high frequency Absorption panel it is not. Whatever you hear thru the curtain held in front of you will reflect from the glass. Curtains should help at high frequencies but you might think of some fiberglass absorption panels. I'm putting twelve 2'x4'x2" high de... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "I agree with Al that shorter cables are not always better"He mentioned exception of digital cables related to timing of the reflections, but shorter analog cables should always be better. I've never heard of anybody claiming improvement with long... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "It is the energy flow via the electrons that creates the audio signal. While the actual speed of the electrons themselves is slow and their movement is characterized by more than one form of movement, the sound we hear actually travels very fast ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Drift velocity with audio cables constantly changes direction since audio cable carry AC current making them "vibrate". At higher frequencies they practically stand still. |
