| 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 | |
| How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make? Maril555 - Imagine 100W class AB transistor monoblock that dissipates 100W of continuous power into heatsink while driven with the sinewave test signal. Now, get rid of this large expensive heatsink and replace it with 25W heatsink and use saved m... | |
| How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make? Amp rated at lower continuous power might have higher momentary power. Average power needed for music is only few percent of peak power unless you listen to sinewaves. Power specifications give only general guidance but all depends on particular a... | |
| How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make? According to perceived loudness calculationk^(1/3.5) where k is ratio of powersyour loudness will increase by 15.7%. | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? "you can't handle the truth!" That's very accurate observation. One person even expressed opinion that Benchmark is too resolving making each instrument sound independently while he got used to all instruments mushed together. My experience was si... |
