| are all amps equal Al - that exactly what I said "if wire gauge is properly chosen".There is a lot of hype, but also there is a lot of experts and each of them claim something similar about different aspects of the speaker cable construction. If you add their opinio... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Kirkus - we're not talking about absolutely best amp in existence but about one that is about 100W/ch and less than $3k. Do you feel that class AB amps would have certain advantage here over class A (less estate = better components)? | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Nsgarch - I have the same experience. My AZ Satori Shotgun look like two barrels of the shotgun about an inch thick each and woven patterns on the outside reflects the light. Friends don't even comment (bad sign - they already think I'm crazy). | |
| Transport for DAC Tbadder - That is true. Good transport makes a difference in general but not with asynchronous upsampling jitter rejecting DACs. I'm using one (Benchmark DAC1) that has very strong jitter suppression with very cheap DVD player (DVD players have go... | |
| are all amps equal Keslerd - bigger is not always better. People use very thick wire to get lower resistance (and slightly lower inductance as well) but choke in series with the woofer is probably in order of 0.1 ohm and fighting for ultra low cable resistance doesn... | |
| DIY balanced interconnects Oldears - It interested me before it became my profession. Now I'm left without a hobby (and time for it) but should be enjoying "project" when retired.Technology goes toward SMT and often is very layout dependant. Building class D amp, for instan... | |
| How hot is too hot? Ampx61 - I wonder if power filter cap replacements can have something to do with temperature increase. Transformer with rectifier and filtering capacitors works much harder than the same transformer (and the same power delivered) on resistive load... | |
| Extreme hardglass CD Rja - couple of years ago there was, in yearly edition of Stereophile "Recommended Components", an amp that retailed for $400,000. People who can afford it probably feel, that to keep things in proportion they need $1k CD. It's crazy. | |
| XLR interconnects? Lacee - I can only compare CD to CD since, as I mentioned before, I don't do LP. I can tell you by listening to record - popular or jazz what decade they come from. I have remastered Pink Floyd album and it doesn't sound as good as many new CDs (2... | |
| DIY balanced interconnects Oldears - I'm probably more lazy and making things doesn't thrill me as much as it used to. When I was about 16 years old I was building EL34 100W amps and really enjoyed it. Now I don't object anymore to prepacked goods - perhaps because I can af... | |
| Extreme hardglass CD Chris - It sounds also that there is exponential increase in number of stupid people.Everything is a matter of perspective, I guess. I read review of hotel in Italy on travel forum describing certain hotel as a very inexpensive one. I found out, w... | |
| XLR interconnects? Lacee - CD might be not as good as LP but judging different period Beatles on CD I can see big difference in quality between early and late Beatles recording. Long time ago I had Beatles on vinyl and it was pretty much the same - early recordings ... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? Guido - The oak floor you walk on is different in color and hardness from northern and southern states. Woods suitable for making instruments such as guitar have the highest ratio of strength to weight (cedar, spruce). Origin of the spruce, for in... | |
| DAC vs. New CDP Audiotomb - Benchamark will do it. It has three inputs (Toslink, S/PDIF, AES/EBU) and each of them with proper adapter can go to any format (same chip) as I understand it.People who oppose oversampling in general are against digital filtering and ... | |
| Extreme hardglass CD Rja - do you live in Japan? My nephew lives in Tokyo. |
