| Sibilance in recordings: your experience the same? Mdrummer01 - I had the same problem on Barber and many other recordings (my system is very revealing). I changed tweeter's in-series cap from $10 variety to $100 variety and most of sibilants disappeared. Amplifier distortions also convert to sibi... | |
| which DAC? Be careful with used Benchmarks - it went thru many revisions (had problems). | |
| Bel Canto DAC2 owners' advice please Karelfd - why don't you try jitter rejecting Bel Canto DAC3 or cheaper Benchmark DAC1? It will save you a lot of money for good transport and digital cable or improve performance greatly with the cheap transport and cable.Jitter is a noise in time... | |
| 1.5m for 75ohm digital coax? Sidssp - Signal reflections are caused by length. For very short distance there is no transmission line effect. We have transmission line at about <8x ratio between signal travel time and rise/fall time. Signal travels 0.5m at about 2ns and ris... | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier Fbi - It also makes possible to eliminate in-series inductor that limits DF much more (to about 100) than cable itself (it has typical of 0.08 ohm).Kirkus - Magnet structure is often "immense" in underhung motor speakers. | |

| What matters most in speaker design? "There appears to be a point at which drivers are "good enough" in terms of distortion and stored energy."Drew - are you saying that Beryllium tweeters in new Revel Saloon 2 or diamond tweeters in B&W are mistake (unnecessary expense)? | |
| What matters most in speaker design? What is great sounding speaker? Sound depends on many factors and people have different preferences. Do you prefer speaker with underhung motors (less distortion and less dynamic) or overhung motors(more distortion and more dynamics) . Do you list... | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 Ihcho - I've never listen to CD23 but I know that they stopped making it because of yield problems in production of ring DACs. Arcam bought license for Ring DACs from DCS. Idea behind Ring DAC is that at certain point you cannot cross resolution o... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers Weisberg - that's good point. The problem is that I won't ask dealer without listening and he can still hold my money if we won't agree. I would just stay away from such places. They prices are often insane because they have high overhead caused b... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers Is it even legal? Are there any lawyers here? If car dealer would charge me $500 to let me test drive a car and would not return the money if I decide I don't like it that would be illegal and I would report him. New car dealer doesn't have licens... | |
| 720p vs 1080i I think that format is converted many times between stations but bandwidth (usable information) stays the same. 720p should be better on the standard TV since human eye is very sensitive to horizontal misalignment that comes from interlacing but i... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Mikelavigne - Does center channel improve sweet spot? Can you hear voice more anchored in the center when sitting far off-axis? | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Smacky - It doesn't speak bad of my town but rather of popularity of Hammond organs - extremely popular as a solo instrument up to 60's I guess, and loosing popularity afterwards. On the other hand roads were flooded and people couldn't even get t... | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Danlib1 - I second Joey Defrancesco - he is the greatest of all. He plays on Pat Martino "Live at Yoshi" - one of the better jazz records I know. He came to my small town last fall during thunderstorm and flooding and play to the audience of about... |
