| Running 4 speakers from a 2-channel amp Kirkus - I remember seeing large bass guitar stacks that had a lot of small (about 10") speakers (10-12). They must have been connected serial/parallel to obtain any drivable impedance. I've read on this forum that before SS popularity speakers/dr... | |
| DAC/PRE Bel Canto DAC3 does that. Has remote control of digital inputs and volume. It also has balanced outputs. | |
| Running 4 speakers from a 2-channel amp AL - I would never connect speakers in series but I believe DF doesn't suffer - at least with woofers in series within the same box. It appears that each woofer sees impedance of the other woofer in series (JBL wrote paper on that - that is incorr... | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? Missioncoonery - Perhaps these $75 on ebay plays negative placebo effect on you? It was called Python before and costed about $400 (great reviews). I replaced it with same type (XLR) and same length (0.5m) Acoustic Zen Absolute (not too many ICs b... | |
| asynchronous USB dac or jitter reducing device 2nd Benchmark DAC. I use it with MAC-Mini/Airport Express. Stretch your budget by $150 and get AE ($150) and new Benchmark DAC1 ($995) to obtain 5 years warranty and avoid problems that early Benchmarks had (thin sounding op-amps, high output impe... | |
| When is used used up? Norman - Not likely to find White Papers on basic stuff like that. Amp's output current flows from power supply capacitor thru it's Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL) then thru output transistors and speaker ... | |
| Bi-amp with Bel Canto monos Coxhaus - I've never bi-amped but power ratio 2:1 between woofer and midrange is too small. You could possibly go with 10:1 (1000W/100W) to save some money. | |
| When is used used up? "Capacitors do NOT DEGRADE over time, they FAIL." - I don't know where you got this from, but even capacitor manufacturers admit that electrolytic capacitors dry out (and rate them). At room temperature they will last for 30-50 years but temperatu... | |
| Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D Face - Hyperion HPS-938 is incredibly revealing but never sounds forward/bright. I use it with class D Rowland 102. | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? I've had three AQ ICs before - Ruby, Viper and King Cobra. Viper was more extended (highs and lows) than Ruby with better control and tighter bass while King Cobra was more refined and even slightly more extended on both ends than Viper.Audioquest... | |
| More female vocals "billie holiday. can't believe nobody's mentioned her yet..."- no need to mention her - she's by default | |
| More female vocals I'm surprised nobody mentioned Diane Shuur. Perhaps the greatest jazz vocalist I know (Ella on steroids). I 2nd Diane Washington and Shirley Horn. I have many CDs by Shirley Horn but this is the best one http://www.amazon.com/You-Wont-Forget-Shirl... | |
| Does Apple airport express work well? Pal - According to Stereophile review it is not so great on analog outs and pretty good (low jitter) on optical one. http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/505apple/If you decide to use it with DAC be sure that your DAC won't cut off few sec... | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Magfan - thank you for the link. I didn't realize that ocatve down requires 97 keys. | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Lowest bass string is 41.2Hz. 5 or 6 string bass guitars are used for easy of playing only. Piano goes down to 27Hz (A) but it is not very often used. There are organs and big drums but there are also neighbors.My speakers go down to 30Hz while my... |
