| Why not a run high quality USB cable Larry_s,Thanks for the test. Even if there is a small difference my friend doesn't care and his receiver is more of Mid-Fi. It is still better than running 30' long ICs. | |
| Why not a run high quality USB cable Steve,Would it work with USB to Toslink Converter? My friend wants to run 30' of cheap IC from the sound card to receiver while his receiver has Toslink input. 30' of USB extension + converter + 3' glass Toslink is perhaps better? | |
| Why not a run high quality USB cable There are active USB extension cables like that one that measures 32ft: http://www.amazon.com/Meters-Active-Extension-Repeater-Female/dp/B002VG39BI/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1288731775&sr=1-14 | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Yes, THD should represent a cleaner signal path but the problem is that amp design is a compromise - you want more of this you'll get less of that. THD is usually traded in SS amps for TIM and related odd order harmonics enhancement. Stereophile e... | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner I second AQ King Cobra. It was much more expensive when it was called Python. AQ, to stay competitive, moved production to China and lowered prices renaming cables. King Cobra XLR, I had before, might be not as refined as Acoustic Zen Absolute XLR... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Aewhistory, I had impression that keeping bandwidth well above 20kHz prevents phase shifts within 20kHz but as research suggest it might as well improve transients that our brain processes. Technical spects have no value to me. I'm not even sure w... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Atmasphere,As I understand it, our brain works more in time domain than frequency domain. We cannot hear above 20kHz but recent research shows that people can still tell the difference between 20kHz and 50kHz bandwidth listening to music. All spac... | |
| FM Antenna question Truman,Antenna is usually not grounded thru equipment since it is separated by transformer but often is grounded with thin wire to prevent static built-up (being isolated on shingle covered roof). It is not relevant if antenna makes your house 5 f... | |
| Question for Atmasphere re: class A output calc Let me jump in. I'm not sure where double current comes from. I would think that when whole 0.1556A of bias current flows thru the speaker then the other transistor has to be off (Il=Ip-In).You cannot calculate RMS because you don't know the shape... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. "we don't measure what is important to the human ear"Atmasphere - absolutely true but how we can measure it? I don't know how to measure amp's music power or how to measure TIM distortion or how to guarantee synergy with the speakers. Is there any... | |
| Acoustic Zen Hologram II or Satori Shotgun Lake_eleven,You can find some discussion here: http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=cables&n=34778&highlight=satori+shotgun+hologram&r=I use Satori Shotgun with Hyperion speakers but used it before with Paradigm Studio 60 v.2 with... | |
| pro's and con's of a 4 ohm speaker? Al, I always forget about tube amps since the last one I had was EL34 100W guitar amp I built about 40 years ago.As I understand it combined plate impedance gets divided by speaker impedance to get transformer turn ratio. If plate impedance is 1k ... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Aaron - I have Hyperion HPS-938 speakers that have very limited dealership in US. I bought it based on glowing reviews (6 month old dealer demo) without auditioning since I'm in Chicago and the closest dealer is in Pennsylvania. In worst case I wo... | |
| pro's and con's of a 4 ohm speaker? Cwaz - Power will be inversely proportional to load (assuming good power supply) while perceived loudness goes in (1/3.5) power of the amplifier output power ratios.In you case: Loudness = (8/4)^(1/3.5)= 1.22 (22% louder with 4 ohm speaker)8 ohm s... | |
