| Importance Of Power Supply : Transformer Ratings Ryder - power supply capacitors are recharged in very short current spikes of high amplitude. High frequency of these spikes heats-up the core of transformer while rms value heats up the copper (windings). This rms value, because of shape, is much... | |
| Booming Tunes Lewhite - very good question. I ended up with full range speakers but considered monitors and sub. Not only room has often nodes but designers of monitors tune bass reflex to stretch lows creating hump on first multiple of reflex frequency - usual... | |
| Thinking About a New CD Player Buconero117 - Oppo 83se costs $900 while Benchmark DAC1 costs $995. What excuse to spend more you're talking about? | |
| Thinking About a New CD Player Bob - you won't get 24 bits. It is called 24-bit but real resolution is most likely below 20-bits. Traditional (ladder type) converters don't get any higher than 18-bits because of component tolerances while sigma-delta variety won't get higher be... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? "Which part didn't you like, the Viagra or the sex?"I don't remember having sex (very common at my age) but If I had I'm sure I liked it - I think. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Gherrea1 - I ended up 18.6% Now I have to upgrade equipment to bring ratio down to recommended 10% (at least that's what I'm going to tell my wife) | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Mrtennis - Absolutely agree. It became academic discussion with a lot of words (193 posts, most few pages long) and no use to anybody. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723 wrote: "But the choice between more or less cabinet resonance is simple, and I think most audiophiles would choose less."I'm not so sure. Cabinet might resonate with the floor at the lowest bass notes that otherwise would not be audible. I ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I used them to keep cables straight. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon wrote: "Is there a SINGLE way that a playback system is SUPPOSED TO sound?"I was talking not about system sound but original performance sound. Did I miss this original performance? Neutral (or close) system exists - I don't question that (s... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723 - Aural memory of what? I've never been to recording studio much less particular session. Maybe concert that I just attended and they made CD recordings 2 days later when my memory is still fresh? What If I had bad seat at the concert and s... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon wrote: "I do not believe that there is one "right" way to listen, but I do believe that there are more neutral, resolving, and accurate ways to listen."And I do believe that there is "perfect" woman out there but I'm not interested. It is ve... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? How do you know how it supposed to sound? Sitar from Northern India sounds completely different than Sitar from southern India. How do you know?Bryon wrote: "By having heard one."That's the problem - by having heard one where? In small humid room ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon - I'm under impression that you discuss mostly frequency response of the system hence word EQ is repeated often. What about whole bunch of other things like macro and micro dynamics? how do you measure "sweet sound" or "relaxed sound". It is... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Muralman - I said I'm not sure why we need thick speaker wires. My Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns have gauge 7 each (about 1" dia.) and I think it is overkill but I trust AZ designer Robert Lee and bought the cable. The reason for doubt is simple - ... |
