| New Jimi Hendrix 7" vinyl comming out Slikric3000 - New 2010 remaster (CD) of Axis: Bold as Love is incredible. | |
| The Sound or Music Shadorne - Not everyone likes clarity/transparency and resolution (I do). Reading user reviews of my Benchmark DAC1 I found opinion that it is too resolving/analytical making possible to hear each instrument instead of preferred "sound blob" that ... | |
| The Sound or Music Orpheus10 - It is never ending quest for me too (to a point) but I don't have GAS (Gear Acquire Syndrom). | |
| The Sound or Music Relative was mine (I don't share him). There might be more than one reason for him to enjoy orchestral music on poor system. One reason I mentioned is love of music that made him blind to a sound but the other is modesty. I see people like that al... | |
| The Sound or Music "perfect stereo system, but limited to your favorite 300 recordings"...or "crummy boombox, and thousands of interesting recordings""you must choose one only"Elizabeth you are a very cruel person! | |
| The Sound or Music Thank you Elizabeth - I feel a little better.Jamiek, Hellofidelity - Imagine that you have choice of two versions of the same orchestral performance:- exceptional performance recorded 50 years ago with really bad sound and a lot of noise.- recentl... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? "The ASP1000 module is worst in this respect being what....about 1/2 db down at 20khz w/4 ohm load?"Magfan - you're right (just checked datasheet graphs) but 8 ohms have too much down and up by 1/4dB starting in less than 10kHz. My Rowlands 200ASC... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? Mapman - you're right about low input impedance. My Rowland has extra board (with THAT1200 intrumentation amp) to increase impedance to 40k. | |
| directional cables? Al - agreed. I objected only to term "Flow of electrons" since it has nothing to do with fast flow of charge. I stated also that with AC electrons are standing practically still - hardly a "flow of electrons". We can say that electricity (electron... | |
| directional cables? OK - water in garden hose it is. | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? Then I suspect that you Icepower having huge damping factor at low frequencies (about 4000) overdamped your speakers making very lean bass? | |
| Can Frequency Sweeps Damage Speakers? Heyitsmedusty - There is a warning on Stereophile test CD that tracks with high frequencies played at normal level will take out tweeters. Bad part is that some of the frequencies that can do damage are outside of our hearing range. One could modi... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? Coxhaus - I'm surprised since I know audiogoner who drives with Icepower speakers with nominal impedance of 1 ohm.Isn't Spectron a class D amp as well? There is probably more to it than just impedance alone. | |
| directional cables? Herman - In addition people believe that since charge flows back and forth (AC) energy does the same and directionality of the cable doesn't exist. Energy flows one direction from source to destination. Some explanation here:http://amasci.com/misc... | |
| directional cables? Simply_q Once again - Electric current is a flow of charge ALONE. At 1kHz electrons are practically standing still (vibrating +/-0.0001mm) NEVER MOVING ALONG THE CABLE while charge is reaching destination with almost speed of light (0.6-0.7).Elect... |
