| Amp damping factor? Pauly - I agree. Specifications are very flexible and often misleading. Amplifier (and any other) design is a series of compromises and when you see an amp with exceptionally high DF and extremely low THD something else has to give - the sound. Jo... | |
| Amp damping factor? "An amp doesn't have a damping factor"Pauly - You'll often find DF in amps' specifications. "Having" DF simply means amp has that many times lower output impedance (at given frequency) than assumed 8 ohm speaker. DF is a measure of output impedanc... | |
| Amp damping factor? Deep loop feedback is equivalent to high gain before feedback. With such high gain (in order of thousands)any delay in the signal path (limited bandwidth) results in improper (late) summing of the input and the feedback signal causing TIM - tenden... | |
| Amp damping factor? Atmasphere - also speaker design can make for better quality of bass. As far as I know typical, used in 90% of cases, overhung motor speakers have a lot of distortions at lower frequencies. More expensive underhung speakers,used by some manufactur... | |
| Amp damping factor? "Digital amps seem to be the exception which normally have a damping factor of up to 1000".My Icepower amp has DF=4000 at low frequencies. It is inherent in class D amps since speaker is always shorted by Mosfets to power and GND (to very low sour... | |
| Amp damping factor? Inductor in-series with the woofer has resistance approx. 0.08 ohm limiting DF to 100. | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Some people should get INEGRITY ! | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Let me get this straight - (I can laugh during it if it makes you feel better):Prosound who is rep for Silver Circle Audio makes sales pitch (I don't have any other name for that):"This power conditioner simply out-performs every other conditioner... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? "However, in a sense we are all reps..." - Are you trying to muddy the water? Repping product is a contract activity not the state of mind.One thread though, hmm?...still a little suspicious - not really. For me this forum is an opportunity to lea... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? "Please! "...other than repping the products in Canada, Prosoundman has no financial interest, stake, claim, or other obligation or relationship to, with, or for Silver Circle Audio" I'm confused - can you explain this to me?Is he or is he not rep... | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Pettyofficer - Many analog tapes were digitized with jittery clocks and less than perfect A/D converters (long time ago). Recorded jitter cannot be suppressed and the only remedy is to digitize it again with better equipment (if analog tapes still... | |
| DEQ2496 - Jitter issue Optical has about twice jitter of coaxial but in case of Benchmark suppression is so high that it doesn't matter. Jitter (noise in time domain) creates sidebands at very low level (-80dB typ) but still audible since not harmonically related to roo... | |
| Furman 20 or 20i Edorr - I checked datasheets and couldn't find any difference. I just installed Furman 20PFi and got big improvement in sound and picture. | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Dangelod - jitter is just only one of the elements and it is much more complicated than that. Benchmark asynchronously upsamples incoming digital data about million times to filter it in digital filter and output to 24-bit DAC at 100kHz rate. Filt... | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Dangelod - I prefer neutral gear but others might like particular sound (warm, sweet etc.) - nothing wrong with it. There is no "unimportant" and the signal processing might completely change the sound. Some things might be more "important" in ter... |
