| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723 - Don't you have any financial limitations? If not, I can recommend an amp (Stereophile class A few years ago) that costs $350k - perfect sound, no compromises there. For the rest of us it is always choice between many factors. Many audioph... | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? Magfan - It is possible that I don't have any loss of dynamics with conditioner because of SMPS that is regulated. If conditioner drops voltage at high current peaks SMPS is responding fast holding regulated voltage on the output. Icepower class D... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? "I am actually somewhat agnostic." - don't worry, there is a cream for that. | |
| Hyperion 938 or Defenitive Technology Mythos ST?? Trendy - my dealer told me that it is only a rumor and Hyperion is introducing new speaker in January i $10k range. | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? "Fundamentals count here more than glitz and weird science"Magfan - Open minded people get extra benefit of better sound thru placebo effect while sceptics and "scientists" will never get improvement in cabling. | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? Magfan - My Conditioner corrects it, but I bough it purely for filtering and good non-sacrificial overvoltage protection. I cannot often understand how things like power cables or conditioners improve (or destroy) sound but I trust experience of f... | |
| Where do you buy good CD recordings? I buy at amazon.com or tower.com. Amazon has better website with reviews and I always had very good luck with Amazon Marketplace - used and new. | |
| DAC benefit compared to denon3930 Loomisjohnson - Only you can decide that. Benefit of upsampling DACs lies in jitter rejection and not conversion frequency. For instance if you deliver 24/192 signal to Benchmark DAC1, it will output it to 24 bit DAC at 110kHz (going in the proces... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Shadorne - I don't question existence of better recordings or better equipment. I just don't want to have gear that sound natural to experts and wrong or boring to me. Somebody mentioned going to studio and listening to what they listen to (to hav... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Tvad - You forgot "analog vs. digital" and "tube vs. SS" | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723 - no I would not adjust sound for individual songs but rather pick affordable system that sounds best to me on average with the type of music I listen to. Whole issue of neutrality is very fishy since there is nothing to compare to. Should ... | |
| Hyperion 938 or Defenitive Technology Mythos ST?? Rcduc7 - Yes, I checked this forum and found a lot of info. I might be a little turned off by Paradigms brightness while my class D amp is not very forgiving. I replaced tweeter in Paradigms with Morel Supreme 110 but could never properly integrat... | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? Magfan - power factor is on the top of it but I was talking about current that linear power supply takes from mains - it is not sinewave but series of high amplitude spikes.Power factor in my system is corrected by Power Conditioner - I'm not sure... | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? Magfan - No, lower voltage doesn't make for higher current draw (it happens in SMPS) but only limits max peak power. Amp in a sense is a regulated supply that delivers required (at given moment) voltage to the load (speaker). If it runs out of ava... | |
| Line voltage is 116 not 120 why? Hiendmmoe - Amplifier will be louder at 120V (unless is regulated) than at 116V by less than 2%.(120^2/116^2)^(1/3.5)= 1.0195 |
