| using 75 ohm cables digital intr for analog? They won't damage anything but might be bad for analog for few reasons:- shield grounded on both ends might introduce ground loops- noise induced in shield used as a return appears as a signal- dielectric material is not the best - low grade copp... | |
| Are all Coax digital transports the same? Dne - That's the Toslink I'm using. I bought glass one just in case (Benchmark doesn't care) and found it to be very high quality product for a fraction of a cost of others. | |
| Help with speaker choice Check Hyperion HPS-938 reviews. It had a lot of "Editor's Choice" awards (about 10) and even "Component of the Decade" from Enjoy the Music. It is very resolving and dynamic but at the same time laid back and relaxed. I cannot find CDs that sounds... | |
| Are all Coax digital transports the same? Jitter is basically a noise. This noise is present only when signal is present so it shows just as loss of clarity. DVD players have good tracking and not necessarily bad jitter (cheap because of mass production). They often have very bad analog o... | |
| Dynamic Headroom "A class A amplifier has by definition 0 db of headroom."I'm not so sure of that. Class A is often designed with bias current in order of 150% o max output current to guarantee that transistors won't become nonlinear - hence some headroom might be... | |
| To terminate.. or not "Can someone please tell me one good reason why to use spades?"Many amps don't allow bananas. I used to have Cambridge A3i amp that allows only spades (no hole in the post). Now I have Rowland model 102 that has Cardas clamp style (with one big kn... | |
| Non-ported sealed cabinet speakers Check Lipinski speakers - Stereophile class A.http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/1205lipinski/They also make smaller size L-505http://www.lipinskisound.com/PRODUCTS.ASPX | |
| Dynamic Headroom Edartford - It is class D amp with full H-bridged Mosfets. There is practically no voltage drop on them (possibly a volt total). As for amps being design for "huge peak-to-average" - that's true but this average might vary. Some amps will handle J... | |
| Dynamic Headroom Cyclonicman - Thank you for you valuable summary. | |
| airport express questions Rbstehno - I rip files into ALAC not only to save space but also to avoid additional operation (ALAC compression) that computer has to do in real time to send data to AE (it is not a dedicated server). | |
| Dynamic Headroom Al - I like percents or ratios instead of dB. In case of 500W vs. 30W ratio of perceived loudness is:R = (500/30)^(1/3.5)= 2.23 where "^" means "to power" | |
| Why did I get married? "Happily married 39 years" - translation for younger folks: "Happily" means 39 years in one marriage. Without "happily" it would be just a sum of marriages. | |
| Dynamic Headroom Eldartford - I don't listen very loud, perhaps 50% of max what makes already 1/10 of the power and because music does not contain peaks alone but most likely less than 50% volume most of the time it is another 1/10 of power. Music has also gaps - ... | |
| Dynamic Headroom Eldartford - I believe standard calls for 5 min rms power. http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=129b71f1c02566f96bb00521fdf0bd03&rgn=dI remember that amp I used once at New Year's Eve party quit after about 10 min - the... | |
| Why did I get married? My wife (married 34 years) doesn't mind very loud music (NO, you cannot have her - she's mine) but have some issues with certain music I listen to (contemporary/modern, Indian Classical, progressive jazz etc.). I try to avoid music that makes her ... |
