| For a budget - True bi-wire or bi-wire? Al - don't forget about crossover components. Woofer is most likely in series with inductor that has resistance in order of 0.08ohm limiting damping factor to about 100. Icepower class D amps have DF=4000 at low frequencies - an overkill. | |
| For a budget - True bi-wire or bi-wire? You have four options:- More expensive single cable with jumpers on speaker side- single biwired cable- shotgun cable (two runs joined at amp's side)- two separate runs.Shotgun might be better than two separate runs because it might be taylored fo... | |
| Audiophile Addiction "A system that works--and works together--doesn't leave you feeling that you have "work" to do."True, unless you have Gear Acquire Syndrome (GAS) or Gardener Syndrome (constant need to trim or re-pot) | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Paulsax - IMHO everything plays role. In addition to sound of jitter that was described in mentioned Stereophile article there is digital signal processing (oversampling, non-oversampling, upsampling) and filtering algorithm, type of DAC (traditio... | |
| CD, LP & Digital Management What about playlists in Itunes. I use them to define genres but it can be used with proper keywords for any sorting. | |
| SACD availability Rwear - I have a DAC but SACD format is different and cannot be stored on Hard Disk. I can use red book layer but it is the same as buying standard CD. | |
| Audiophile Addiction "a table radio is sufficient"To be able to hear 50% of orchestra's instruments ain't bad. No distracting details - also a benefit. | |
| Audiophile Addiction "why would anyone choose to spend more time with his family than with a high-end system?"I was going to ask the same question. | |
| SACD availability Rwwear - part that I can rip is red book only - rest is useless to me since I use only server. I don't mind buying SACD if it is not too expensive. | |
| Audiophile Addiction "rest of the rooms, including the kitchen, and I play music CONSTANTLY"My family complains a little at night. | |
| SACD availability SACD is not very popular for many reasons. It was very expensive at the beginning, could not be copied to provide backup and could not be used with computer server system. Sometimes I think that all schemes (SACD, DVD-A, HDCD) were only for copy p... | |
| Audiophile Addiction Why music or audio and not both. What is wrong in having two hobbies? Many posts suggest to not worry about sound and just listen to music. It was even mentioned that talented musicians systems are boom boxes while they "could not be happier". I l... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Paulsax - Jitter is a function of CD pressing quality, transport quality, digital cable quality, jitter suppressing scheme, electrical noise etc. It is a function of whole system. Even if we assume that amount of jitter is constant at given moment... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Error checking and correction is very loose in CDPs since it has to read CD in real time (dust, scratches). There are programs like MAX for Mac that read music CD as data going multiple time to the same sector until finds right checksum. My CDP pl... |
