| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Jazzybs, Yes, attraction to women is a drawback and even can be financial disaster for many, home (lost) being the most expensive part of the audio system. Meeting women at the concert is good for common interest in particular music genre and migh... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Simon, I checked Spectron website - very impressive. 100kHz bandwidth and 65A max current is not easy to do. I am especially impressed with bandwidth - less phase shift in audio band. Spectron will be possibly my next amp. | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Spectron,Switching power supply offers many advantages such as ripple that is easier to filter out, voltage that is line and load regulated and transformer that can deliver same power at high frequency at 1/10 of size. The problem here is that SMP... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? According to Technical Director of Benchmark John Siau, DAC1 that I own, was specifically designed not to sound warm but rather natural without enhancement of any harmonics odd or even. Enhancing even harmonics does sound really nice with guitar o... | |
| True Analog LPs versus Digital Recordings Wildoats - good point. I think that the main thing with CDs is really limiting 16/44.1 format. I've never heard 24/192 masters but some people testified here that they sound amazing. SACD should be roughly equivalent to 20/96. | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Simon, - my bad! I tend to attribute everything to DSP forgetting that even simple analog filtering is form of signal processing.As for class D - I believe that it is very good for the money (important to me). Opinions vary a lot. Some believe tha... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... There is no signal processing since most of class D amps are analog. As for the Zobel - Yes it is choke and output resistor and capacitor. Icepower calls it Zobel.Excerpt from datasheet of Icepower 200ASC and 1000ASP modules:"Due to the compensati... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Well, I have Rowland 102 class D amp that "sound dry, unmusical, and strange in the treble ... kind of chalky and rolled off, and definitely lacking air" and unmodified Benchmark DAC1 that according to another review suppose to "sound lo-fi and sh... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Finding mysterious "woman from the Ukraine who appreciates sound quality and loves music" is a chance one in a million. More practical solution for all you young audiophiles might be to marry a man (not that there is anything wrong with that). | |
| Short piece of spk wire sustitute for spk link? Audioquest jumpers are gauge 14:http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Silver-Plated-Biwire-Jumpers/dp/B0006VMATC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1296537277&sr=8-3My version is gold plated. | |
| Short piece of spk wire sustitute for spk link? Audioquest sells jumpers that are basically about 6" long gold or silver (2 versions) plated pure copper wires. The only difference from using high quality copper wire is perhaps the plating but unplated copper wire squeezed by speaker post will c... | |
| True Analog LPs versus Digital Recordings At the very beginning of CD they converted everything to digital often with unstable clock. Jitter introduced that way cannot be removed, makes recording sounding harsh (typical for early CDs) and the only way to fix it is to digitize again if ana... | |
| Coax vs. Toslink Well, the bandwidth is the problem. Toslink has very low bandwidth (tens of MHz) while coax has high bandwidth (hundreds of MHz). Because of limited slew rate in Toslink system (receiver and transmitter) noise converts to jitter (because noise aff... | |
| True Analog LPs versus Digital Recordings I suspect that almost everything today is recorded digital. My friend works for very large recording studio where they got rid of expensive analog tape recorders more than 10 years ago. Analog tapes require constant maintenance because of layer to... | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Raquel, Icepower amps by definition should be less sensitive to power line than linear supplies since SMPS are both line and load regulated. In reality all supplies are switching only frequency is different. Linear supplies switch at 120Hz polluti... |
