| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? Templetech - Mapman is right. It might be something with amplification since Gallos are described in this review http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/hyperion/938_3.html as sharper sounding than Hyperion HPS-938 that I have.Active 40's are very good... | |
| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio Cwlondon,Switch to MAC - no need for anti-virus anymore. After two years of usage no single hang-up or need to defragment of my MAC-Mini. Zero problems. Unfortunately I still have to use PC/Windows at work. | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained "I want speakers that swing all three ways. That's why I run 6 or more pair at a time in different rooms."Mapman - can you repeat it in front of my wife? (otherwise she won't believe me) | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained Atmasphere - My Benchmark DAC1 was specifically designed not to be warm sounding since according to technical director of Benchmark John Siau warm sound is good for voice and some instruments like guitar but does bad things to instruments that hav... | |
| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio 54 or 45 - Hey, 5 out of 4 of us are dyslectic. I agree that these numbers are theoretical but sustained 3Mb/s DSL speed is also not obtainable by perhaps most of the people.Thanks for Speakeasy.net - my DSL shows 2.6Mb/s | |
| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio CW, 802.11g is fast enough (45Mb/s). Even 802.11b would be OK (11Mb/s) for internet since the best you'll get from DSL will be in 3Mb/s range. I noticed that my microwave frequency is identical to one of the router frequencies. When microwave is w... | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? Magfan,Yes, RLC is just gross description. There might be even variables that we don't know yet. They claimed in 70's that new SS amps have to sound better than tube amps because they have wider bandwidth and much lower THD and IMD. They just didn... | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? Paperw8 - according to mentioned skin depth calculator 20 mils corresponds to gage 18. Skin effect is therefore not existent in interconnects but might with speaker cables. Using thick wire lowers resistance but also inductance. The same happens w... | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? "You are correct about skin effect. Skin effect is a phenomenon that you tend to see at microwave frequencies."This is incorrect. At microwave frequencies skin depth is in order of um. At audio frequency of 20kHz largest copper wire that has still... | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? Mjordans - I was talking about general opinion on the forums and in reviews. In AVGuide review: http://www.avguide.com/review/nordost-tyr-cable I found this statement:"That Nordost have evolved a distinctive house sound is indisputable. Fast, cris... | |
| New Apple iTunes 10 Features Ballan - Thanks. As for the grouping of the albums I found out that setting smart playlists displays all album "tiles" on one screen. I set smart playlists with only genre condition. For instance my playlist "- Jazz" has condition that genre is eq... | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? Mcelio - AFAIK Nordost cables offer specific "house sound". Let just say that if you're looking to add warmth to the sound or suppress sibilance Nordost isn't the one. On the opposite side is Cardas that is warm sounding but does not have transpar... | |
| New Apple iTunes 10 Features Ballan - I wonder if Front Row works now with AE. It used to work in Tiger but Apple disabled it in Leopard. Many people complained about it. | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? Irvrobinson - I can make argument as well, that if you want to believe that top cables don't sound any better than cheap lamp cord - they won't (negative placebo effect).Long time ago when I had thick stranded Monster speaker cable and amp with to... | |
| Are there any constants in speaker wire designs? "Why is "strand jumping" bad?"Strand jumping is related to skin effect that forces current to jump constantly to outside of thick speaker cable (where resistance is lower at higher frequencies). Copper impurities reside on the surface of each stra... |
