| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... "First off, the Ref 1000 is not a 1000 WPC amp, it is a 500 WPC amp (but that is really only for peak/short periods, not continuous)."REF1000 is rated 1000W/4ohm. By "short periods" only you probably referring to specification of Icepower module 1... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... I think it is just that to SOME people class D sounds great and for OTHERS not so great. You happened to be in the second group. Some reviewers and makers (like Jeff Rowland) love class D while others hate it. It is all subjective. On the other ha... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio Irvrobinson - 20kHz frequency is reproduced accurately (no aliasing). As for the amplitude, theorem assumes infinite number of samples (of periodic signal). Because it is not the case, interpolation is done with Sinc functions but with constantly ... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio Mizuno - in order to avoid aliasing there should be no signal at 1/2 of the sampling frequency. In order to achieve it data has to be filtered out at 1/2 of sampling frequency in A/D processing.Notice, that we are talking about preserving frequenc... | |
| The Physics of Electricity "After quite a bit of listening I concluded that the exotic wire sounded very slightly better than the "junk" zip cord.""we've secretly replaced the fine coffee they usually serve with Folgers Crystals"Thank you very much. I will still go for fine... | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... What is yellow-brown and looks good on a lawyer?A Doberman.Sorry, I couldn't resist.The only way to cat-proof (as well as child-proof) your house is not to let them in. Cats cannot be stopped. They have to investigate everything for the reason of ... | |
| How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make? Raquel - I've never heard either amp that I mentioned but specified S/N=120dB was confirmed by Stereophile measurement and audition of Coda S5. It is dead quiet and very resolving. As for Ralph amps - reviews praise them just for being quiet and v... | |
| The Physics of Electricity Snofu3 - It is not a need to answer every question, on my part as well, but rather irritation that OP asked a question that was beaten to a pulp on this forum. Any attempt to search in archives would reveal it. Yes, it is trollish question. | |
| How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make? Metman - that's true, but I would rather have lower power amp that can perfectly drive very low complex loads. 50W/8ohm Coda S5, I mentioned, can output 200W at 2 ohm and according to Stereophile test can even drive 0.47ohm.Half of the power loss ... | |
| How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make? "The other downside of powerful amps is that they feature many output devices (by "output device", I mean output transistors in the case of solid-state amps and output tubes in the case of tube amps). All of those devices muck up the sound in syst... | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? "what is the connotation of the quote you have cited ?"Diversity of opinions is good. | |
| The Physics of Electricity "is this when "quality" electrons make a difference??"That's right. As we know electrons only shake in place at AC when electric charge moves. Young electrons shake eagerly while old stale ones don't want to shake. All is in the electrons! Wanna b... | |
| The Physics of Electricity Llanger - I'm afraid you won't find an answer here. It was asked many time before and every time cable nay-sayers jump in while audiophiles who actually own and enjoy better quality cables are wise enough to stay away. | |
| The Physics of Electricity This must be "loaded" question since I cannot imagine that you haven't checked "Cable Theory" at one of most popular makers - like this one on Audioquest site:http://www.audioquest.com/pdfs/aq_cable_theory.pdf | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? Mrtennis,Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.Oscar Wilde |
