| are all amps equal "Also, I would recommend buying a subwoofer since you're not planning toreplace the BE-718, which only go to 42Hz, and therefore are missing asignificant range of bass where much of the music lies."Lowest bass or electric bass string is 41.2Hz (I ... | |
| DIY balanced interconnects Oldears - I'm not sue why you want to build your own cable. How can you obtain low inductance, capacitance, dielectric constant and metal purity without using exotic materials like foamed Teflon in oversized tubes or 9N copper. As for grounding sh... | |
| balanced vs unbalanced output Bob - you said it right. It is a kind of insurance against noise and there is no reason they should sound worse (other than shield unfortunately grounded on both ends). My Rowland class D amp doesn't even have unbalanced input - very mature on Jef... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? Guido - I know more about guitars than violins but certain things are common. Everybody knows about presence, projection, sustain, separation and tone but the tone is mentioned most often (simplification). There were attempts to build synthetic gu... | |
| Extreme hardglass CD What is the advertised purpose of it? If it's jitter reduction then there are other ways of handling that - like jitter suppressing upsampling DACs or players. I suspect that the reason might be longevity. It is probably not very important since a... | |
| XLR interconnects? "If everything you play thru your system sounds good,then there is something going on that is masking the differences."Lacee - absolutely agree. I'm not into vinyl for the same reason I'm not into drugs - addictive and expensive. Is vinyl really c... | |
| Anyone use a DVD player as a front end? Bob - I forgot to answer your question about deterministic outcome of asynchronous sample rate converter. I think that for practical purposes it is, but anytime you deal with asynchronous stuff strange things might happen. One of them is metastabi... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Spatine - I've never had bi-amping setup but noticed that people, most of the time, use identical amps for that. Absolute phase should be the same unless amplifier inverts the phase 180 deg - easy to fix by reversing speaker wires. Problem starts ... | |
| are all amps equal Keslerd - Ivestigate class D Icepower amps. I remember reading that they work nice with Be718s. | |
| XLR interconnects? Lacee - old recordings sound like shit in comparison to best current recordings. You could even tell by the amount of distortion and noise what decade they come from. To add insult to injury they digitized them long time ago when high quality low ... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Bombaywalla - not only bias but also gain (before feedback)is different between class A and AB. Class AB requires much higher gain (usually about 10x) to linearize output transistors with deeper negative feedback. Large gain causes amplifier to ov... | |
| XLR interconnects? No chase - Schrodinger's cat is dead! | |
| Should I do it or Not??? Tech question Royy - Bias current is not difficult to adjust but it's not the issue here. The issue is that you don't know what it is. You might make mistake and damage your speakers, as Tobias already stated.Be aware, that you might have more damage than outpu... | |
| Accoustic Zen Silver Reference & Absolute RCA Redoctober2 - that's true, but remember that King Cobra used to be called Python (and was much more expensive) before AQ move production to China and changed names to be competitive. King Cobra is decent cable for the price (at least neutral sound... | |
| Accoustic Zen Silver Reference & Absolute RCA Redoctober2 - I have 0.5m Absolute XLR but cannot really comment on the difference since I've never heard silver ref II. I jump to absolute because it was only 30% more ($600 vs. $450) used and review claimed better performance and I already have ... |
