| How to fix a lack of bass Null Magfan - it's getting too complicated for me. I saw 3d graphs of the room and it shows kind of "domes" instead of waves (combined effect of all walls). People with better math skills can understand it probably further. | |
| ICE amps need cooling? "Your "analog" power supply also switches power on and off." "Also, this being a low frequency switching one may believe that it would be much more audible than the much quicker switching of the digital PS ICE module."Exactly. That was the reason ... | |
| How to fix a lack of bass Null K_rose - 343/5.25/2=32.66Hz where 343m/s is the speed of sound, 5.25m is the distance between your walls, 2 is because you need two times distance to amplify (from speaker to back wall + back to front wall + front wall to speaker = 2x distance bet... | |
| Overall opinions on Harman Kardon Harman Kardon is mid range audio - probably good value for the money but not the high end (I had HK receiver once). Harman Kardon belongs to Harman International Industries that also owns JBL, Infinity, Revel and Epicure loudspeakers, as well as p... | |
| How to fix a lack of bass Null K_rose - maybe I'm missing something, but if you have reflections between two walls you should have amplification on even reflections 2, 4, 6 etc (in case of 5.25m it's 33Hz 66Hz 99Hz etc) and nulling (valleys) on odd reflections 1,3,5 etc. (frequ... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Muralman1 - SMPS are regulated (line and load) while linear power supplies are not. They also operate at non-audible frequency that is easy to filter out while 120Hz is not. They also respond faster to load demands than linear supplies because of ... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Rdyland - check out this link: www.merging.com/download/dxd_Resolution_v3.5.pdf | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Perhaps ProShares UltraShort Dow30 (ETF) - symbol DXD on Amex exchange? | |
| Confused by ICE applications It is much better than few hours. Typical average power is only in order of few percent of maximum power and your 60 watt hours battery might give you 20 hrs playtime. Why don't you connect permanently slow/trickle charger. It will recharge over n... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? Blindjim - just to toss monkey wrench: Empirical Audio converts upsampling jitter rejecting DAC (Benchmark DAC1) to NOS non-jitter rejecting DAC (plus other improvements) -you might be sorry with cheap transport and cable. I'm pretty sure Steve fr... | |
| Confused by ICE applications Magfan - I know the IR amp - whole project with schematics and PCB was available on their web site. I like SMPS if designed right. They are regulated and work on non-audible frequency that is easy to filter out (not to mention efficiency). Layout ... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Lightminer - "1k is still a lot!" - Yes it is.Benchmark is an upsampling DAC - it takes input data stream and reclocks it with asynchronous clock. Usampling (oversampling) ratio of 1 million times would not be possible for physical reasons (1 mill... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Lightminer - Benchmark has very high oversampling (close to a million times) and could easily output 192kHz (since it uses 24bit/192kHz DAC) but doesn't because DACs at 100kHz have lower THD than at 192kHz. | |
| Confused by ICE applications Wonderful_electric - I put blankets over my speakers to make sound of my Icepower amp less detailed, gracefully warm and relaxed. | |
| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? Guidocorona - I'm not sure if it's 2.5". The web site of the Other World Computing is www.macsales.com OWC is the one of the best stores for mac - very helpful and customer oriented. Everything is high quality - they don't sell junk. I bought many... |
