| Fuses that matter. Marakanetz, don't forget that for Russian Orthodox fuse should always point to the east while for Muslims direction of Mecca is pretty much mandatory. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Walls create bass peaks. They amplify frequency (and multiples) that is f=1135/(2*L) where 1135 is speed of sound in ft/s and L is distance between front and rear wall (2 is for traveling back and forth in order to add). Larger room should help bu... | |
| Fuses that matter. "A good design will minimize or eliminate sensitivity to those differences, within the range over which they can be expected to occur"Exactly. I'm surprised that people can hear difference in DACs and preamps - electronics that has regulated power... | |
| Frequency Response? Pbnaudio, We don't have exactly dry air here (Chicago) but I will settle for 1135ft/s which is speed of sound in dry air at 75degF - and this is my last offer.Same example with new numbers: 1135/18/2=31.5Hz | |
| Frequency Response? 62bakes - One way they increase extension of the speaker is to put second woofer for the lowest bass only (higher frequencies filtered out by xover). For two way speakers it is called 2 1/2 way speaker (pretty much like adding subwoofer). I suspec... | |
| Frequency Response? Lowest bass string E=41.2Hz With 5 or 6 string basses lowest frequency is still 41.2Hz because it is only for the ease of playing (music is typically written for 4 string bass). The issue here is not only extension but quality of the bass. My new ... | |
| Frequency Response? Your room will amplify bass frequency that corresponds to distance between front and back wall. If this distance is 18' then room will amplify 1150/18'/2=32Hz (where 1150 is speed of sound in ft/s and 2 is for travel forth and back to add). | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Bondmap - Read my previous comment from the other thread:"Mofimadness - What John Siau is talking about is update rate of D/A IC. This IC (AD1853) is updated in Benchmark DAC1 from asynchronous rate converter (AD1896) at about 110kHz independently... | |
| 2011 Mac Mini - Is SSD worth it? SSD does not have mechanical parts that might fail but has one tiny reliability problem - limited number of write cycles. For that reason controller shuffles location of files to minimize number of writes to particular location. There are mostly r... | |
| Best way to purchase/download music? Mofimadness - What John Siau is talking about is update rate of D/A IC. This IC (AD1853) is updated in Benchmark DAC1 from asynchronous rate converter (AD1896) at about 110kHz independently of input rate. The reason for that is not only 20dB bette... | |
| Best way to purchase/download music? Buy CDs | |
| Fuses that matter. Well, if this is an issue of lower voltage drop or microphonics then I will pass, since my amp has line/load regulated power supply while case is made of solid billet of aluminum - not likely to vibrate. | |
| Fuses that matter. I just think that if there is really a "major difference in sound" manufacturers would upgrade their fuses. Power cords either don't cause "major" difference" or manufacturer assumes you replace them to your liking. Unfortunately fuse in my Rowlan... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, If these fuses make "major difference in sound" as Tbg stated then why manufacturer's don't install them in gear they sell - they do install many other expensive parts. Perhaps they feel that the difference in not so "major" (if any) and no... | |
| Fuses that matter. Wolf_garcia, Forever? What about house wiring. You have no idea how long and painful it was to pull and reinsert wires in opposite direction. I'm working on power company to do the same but for some reason they are very resistant to this idea (def... |
