| Transient Attack and Amp Design AlamrgInductance of 1 foot of straight wire is not 15nH. According to this calculator:www.consultrsr.com/resources/eis/induct5.htmit is between 330nH for 0.1" Dia to almost 500nH for thin wires.Large capacitors have large inductance. Bypassing the... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Tvad - microfiber is polyester. Get cotton with bamboo towels (the best) if you don't mind bamboo coming most likely from China.Oops - I didn't notice it was a hardware store. | |
| Advice on source needed PiotrzeI have Benchmark DAC1. I use it with inexpensive Sony DVD player since Benchmark is jitter supressing and transport does not make a difference. I'm not afraid of transport failure anymore and saved money I will spend on speakers.Bel Canto D... | |
| Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR Simon - I understand advantage but you have to pay for it. I'm more experienced on electronics side of things than audio. | |
| I am sick of cables The problem I have with "truth about cables" articles is that they bring everything to capacitance and inductance of the cable. They don't believe in any correlation between sound and metal that cable is made of (and its purity). Most of people wo... | |
| Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR Simontiu - Continuum 500 couldn't be balanced all the way thru because of its output stage (already bridge). Do you know of any fully balanced (input to output) Class D amps (not counting DIY seettings). I don't even know traditional fully balance... | |
| Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR Simontju - I just cannot imagine how. Output is not balanced (H-bridge in not same as "bridged"). Would you suggest two separate analog modulators? And each of the driving what? Feedback connected where? It wouldn't make any sens.A little more abo... | |
| Power Amps with High Current or High Damping High Damping factor is inherent in Icepower class D amps. My small Rowland 102 has DF=4000 at low frequencies and about 1000 at 1kHz. I said "inherent" because always two of four Mosfets are ON shorting load between power and GND. Feedback also he... | |
| Entry Level Cables For about $250 you can buy used Acoustic Zen Satori. This is one of the better cables - even better bang for the buck than Analysis Plus Oval 9 | |
| Any Young Audiophiles Out There? 2muse - good advise. Do you think hearing can be improved or exercised (or diet). I'm OK now but I'd like to keep it that way. I found once info about book by ophthalmologist who claims that eyeside can be improved by training eye muscles and give... | |
| Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR Simontju - Continuum 500 is a class D creature. It cannot be balanced input to output. It has balanced inputs and fully balanced pre but it's converted to duty cycle (time) in analog modulator to finally drive full Mosfet bridge. | |
| verdict on class D amps? Guido - Great! Thanks. | |
| Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality? Markphd - I just expressed doubts about book (Animal Farm) being witten in 1984 since author died in 1950 (book was written in 1945). I might not remember it correctly but Napoleon did not say that - it was written on the barn. | |
| buzzing from speakers You don't need to open case to create static damage. Even with properly grounded equipment it might happen if voltage is high and it is repeated many times. You'll find testimony of that here on Audiogon forum. I am able to destroy prototypes of i... | |
| buzzing from speakers Ryder - "Believe" is the right word. Static might zap the input (or output) if you touch it even if you turn equipment off. Damage to speakers was just an example.Analog Devices application engineer told me once that they had problems with custome... |
