| If you could bring back one great artist that has "Vincent Van Gogh"Name sounds familiar, did he sing or have good ear for the music? | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Buddy Holly or Beethoven? It is a tough choice. I would only suggest that Beethoven's hits last perhaps a little bit longer. | |
| A new take on built in room treatments? Blindjim - the main frequency "amplified" by your room will be 1125/(23x2)= 25Hz. Unfortunately lack of absorption creates standing waves with peak and valleys at different frequencies at the different location. To tame it you'll need at least 4" ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Al - I learn from your posts a lot. They bring necessary sanity especially to subjects like power cords. | |
| Using speaker cable as jumpers Cordovox - I use Audioquest biwire jumpers gold plated high purity copper. You can buy them in gold or silver plated version. Theoretically silver is much better conductor but we're talking about very thin layer of plating while gold is more pract... | |
| Mastering That's a very good question. I've heard that early CDs were pressed from Master Tapes for vinyl resulting in bright sound. Is it true? | |
| Help with Playing FLAC files I use MAX to rip CDs into ALAC (using cdparanoia with "never allow skipping" option). It also converts any format to any format.http://sbooth.org/Max/ | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System "Such is the crazy world of audio" - yes it is. I'm even afraid to tell my friends how much I paid especially for cables, since they believe that any conductor (including barb wire) will do (they also believe that all amps are the same except for ... | |
| how can a cheap cd drive equal a fine transport? Between 2.5mm and 8.5mm (12,000 bits) CDP interpolates and above it just drops (gaps). | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Atmasphere,Carvin makes 2050W class D bass heads. Ampeg makes 2500W one. | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Atmasphere - that's what I said. I don't care if sweet sounding second harmonic is canceled (by true balanced amp) while it still might produce unpleasant odd harmonics. Main benefit of true balanced design for me is high common mode rejection - p... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Grant - Let me add that these narrow spikes have width (conduction angle) and therefore peak amplitude dependent on impedance of power transformer and ESR of capacitors (Schaffer's diagrams). Often with huge banks of capacitors in parallel (very l... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Well, lets look Rwwear - original poster asked if different power cable can be used and while he was offered by Elizabeth viable alternative of very good and inexpensive Pangea you had to jump in to express your disbelief, as you always do, even i... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Didn't you talk about religion and preachers just a moment ago? | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Al - Fully balanced design has very high CMRR but I wouldn't care about small amount of sweet sounding second harmonic. I would be more concerned with unpleasant odd harmonics created by negative feedback. |
