| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? Jitter creates sidebands to each frequency at very low level. With a lot of frequencies (music) it is basically noise added to signal (inaudible without signal). When I switched from CDP to Benchmark DAC1 I had impression of great clarity, that ... | |

| Audio PC Regarding inteface - if you're using USB, then you need an ifi isilencer USB dongle. This will correct timing errors between the DAC and your computer. There is no timing errors between DAC and computer with asynchronous USB. Computer sends data ... | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons @charles1dad Yes, and 2.83x is for 2ohm vs 16ohm comparison. For 2ohm vs 4ohm it would be only 1.41x the current. | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons Also, wire has very little to with do bass control (damping). For back EMF resistance of the speaker is already in series. Because of that 2 ohm speaker may have same damping as 8 ohm. | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons Thus, a 2R speaker needs x8 the current as a 16R speaker does.For the same output power it needs only x2.83 current. Same goes for wire thickness calculations. | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons I remember that late Vince Bezdecheck (muralman1) drove 1 ohm Apogee Scintillas with 500W (Icepower based) H2O monoblocks (rated 2 ohm) with great results. | |
| Current... I can understand people assuming that RMS voltage or RMS current has to deliver RMS power, but in reality it is average power, equal to 1/2 of peak power for sinewave. It took FTC 20 years to realize that there is no such thing as RMS power or RMS... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? Yes, you need 45MP to get film resolution in best case but in low light film is useless. I remember using 1000ASA film, gettin grain and dirty colors (400ASA was OK). Today 10x that is still good. Easy of use of digital photo is similar to digi... | |
| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's I'm not sure you have to get rid of them. In any case you should decouple speakers from the floor with vibrapods or something similar. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @bigkidz Yes, it would be better to say "I've heard many class D amps". I liked class D from the beginning and in 2008 posted a list of class D makers (today likely much longer). There are over 50 companies on this list and most of them make mor... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @cal3713 Yes, it is interesting idea. Not only for the possible upgrade, but also in case of power element failure. Performing musicians enjoy ease of tube change in comparison to power transistor replacement. The only negative I can see is the... | |
| Audio PC I plugged my computer into outlet on different phase (I use WiFi). Digital transmission may produce timing jitter that will translate to added noise, proportional to signal and present only when music is present, causing loss of clarity (during g... | |
| Advice needed: replacing tweeter in PSB Image 4T My replacement tweeter had the same DC resistance, same impedance at 1kHz, same efficiency and the same build (short horn), but result was strange. I verified phase using small battery and magnifying glass. New tweeter had more pronounced very h... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House Never mentioned 95 amps but 95%. If you really want to know or experience something you need to bring into your home and i do, i need to know for myself.Most of people don't even know how many class D amps are out there. Do you?How many class D a... |
