| The best tweeter design I can see that you already concluded that Diamond dome has to be superior to Beryllium dome. Steve Mowry says in the article "The Whole Truth About Beryllium Diaphragms: -"For a given geometry the first bending (break-up) frequency is proportional... | |
| Amp's nominal power rating - any use? Just calculating perceived loudness:(30W/8W)^(1/3.5)=1.459 30W is 45.9% louder than 8W but only in identical conditions. These power rating apply to max rms power and are pretty much useless with music. Peak power is more interesting since average... | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? Some specialized headphone amplifiers simulate crosstalk between channels making sound appear in front and not inside of the head. It cross-feeds portion of delayed sound to the other ear - the same way that it happens when listening to speakers. ... | |
| Tweaks I'd like to see . . . Refrigerator and AC plugged into "CLAP-ON" (no noise during music). | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? "So really, it's the same as using an EQ"No it isn't. EQ involves additional stages, capacitors in signal path etc. (some form of signal processing) Let just say that it doesn't add to clarity.Deficiency of recording is usually much more complex t... | |
| This is no joke. Very smart lady - cat is easy to find when lost and other cats won't have sex with it (cats can see colors). I considered painting my daughter pink for the same reason (easy to find and no sex) but she is too old for that (32). | |
| EXPLAIN HD SACDs to me. Mceljo - SACD is also created without anti-alias filters that tend to screw-up transient response. SACD is basically the same as output of Delta-Sigma converter before filtering (PWM). Many audiophiles dislike Delta-Sigma converters but the same t... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I bought recently Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 (a decent amateur camera) knowing that colors produced by the sensor are a little off (shifted toward green). To my surprise it is only in JPEG while RAW is pretty accurate. In-camera processing somehow ma... | |
| Anyone tried the Benchmark Cerrot - Yes, it is revealing and very natural sounding (that is also unforgiving on some recordings). Benchmark's technical director John Siau did not want Benchmark to sound warm since it screws up more complex harmonic structures like piano's. ... | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 Pre Volume pot? Be20 - According to Benchmark signal path inside is identical (doubled) with or without volume control. I suspect You might hear benefits of better made volume pot alone. I found on the other forum that volume pots have distinctive sound to them. ... | |
| This is no joke. "You might have just got yourself added to dekay's list....."Mickeyf - Dekay is on my list (I suspect he might be eating animals) | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Albert - thank you. What about large size digital sensors - how do the compare to same size film quality? Price of sensors and electronic will perhaps go down, but lenses will always cost more than amateurs (like me) are willing to spend. | |
| Preamplifier power supply Casouza - yes, transformer should be oversized since mentioned current spikes, while driving recifier/capacitors, heat up the windings (RMS much higher than Average) and their high frequency content heats up the core but 10x is perhaps overkill. I... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Is 8x10 suitable for any task? Can you use it for late afternoon sports pictures? AFAIK depth of field is very low requiring high F stops. I remember that A. Adams was running "F/64 Club". Such apertures require long exposures making it more suita... | |
| Anyone tried ripping SACD as 24bit PCM? Esmith3671 - I know you were only talking about playback but I wish I could load SACD to my hard disk and play them without loss of quality. |
