| Loss of inner detail "I don't agree"There is no error in my previous statement. If you can afford cable that has perfect impedance matching and perfect shielding then nothing matters - I agree, but unfortunately cables that we can afford have some deficiencies and som... | |
| Loss of inner detail Steve, the fact is that poorly impedance matched cable will work better with slow slew rate transport while poorly shielded cable will work better with high slew rate transport. It is synergy unless you can find perfect cable ($$$$). For that reas... | |
| Loss of inner detail Steve, High slew rate transport will work fine with poorly shielded digital cable but it will create a lot of jitter with poor characteristic impedance matching.Slow slew rate transport will create more noise susceptibility (needs good shielding) ... | |
| Tweeter replacement Maplegrovemusic - I've done that in Paradigm studio 60s V2 using the best soft dome tweeter I could afford - Morel Supreme 110. I put a lot of effort and time into it to fail at the end. I've spent endless hours modifying crossover (using expensiv... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? Bifwynne, No input signal is OK. Tube amps need load, SS amps don't.SS amp might fail when input signal is present and output shorted (overcurrent). I've heard that some poorly designed class D amps might go into oscillation without load but likel... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? Bifwynne, 6 months is nothing. You can safely plug it in. Caps go bad after at least few years unpowered. | |
| AudioEngine A5 hook-up question AE has high jitter (2400ps) on analog outs. It is better to use it with Toslink and a DAC (258ps).http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/505apple | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? Spinaker01 - Drying of the electrolyte increases ESR of capacitor. When it gets into many ohm range it becomes very audible and after that it might even go to thermal runaway since current going thru cap x ESR = Heat but temperature increases ESR ... | |
| Active/Passive Bass Correction Dilema Ekwisnek, There are subs that do automatic correction with microphone. JL Audio Fathom is one of them. I found this on their website:"When you add a subwoofer to a music system, you face two challenges: integrating the subwoofer into the room so i... | |
| Music and gear This hobby has known small drawbacks like divorce, foreclosure etc. Friend of mine divorced husband that had 7 motorcycles - it happens, but it is only temporary setback. Can you sell all your speakers and buy one great pair with possible high WAF... | |
| Class D amps Nordic587 - Like any other class of amplifiers there are better and worse class D amps while everything depends on system synergy. My small class D amp is good for the price but in different price range you'll find many great class D amps like men... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig Minorl, Your points 5 and 6 are really important. People often get lost in complexity of the audio and end up at the mercy of dealers who have different objectives. I second your recommendation to take time and not rush with decisions. | |
| Class D amps I just typed "class D" into search engine and got 300 threads in response. It is a very good tool for novice. It is not mandatory but rather good manners. | |
| Class D amps Fidler, I'm familiar with Hypex modules. Hypex kits were very nice with low inductance slit foil electrolytic caps and big satisfaction of building it yourself. | |
| Class D amps Magfan, I remember IR but there are many others. The list is old. As for rudeness, it would be very rude of me to ask on this forum if TT or tubes still exist, displaying total ignorance, especially when information is on the cover of most audio m... |
