| Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding? 580 is way better than 570. It is pretty much the same thing as HD-600 with the same drivers. HD-600 is tuned a little bit better (position of the drivers).HD650s deliver more bass than HD580 but needs 250-500hrs break-in time according to one rev... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Drubin - very often used CDs sold by Amazon parties are brand new sometimes with hole punched thru paper booklet or backcover - sometimes even thru plastic of the box (can anybody explain why?). I got that way brand new CDs for a fraction of a pri... | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. Musicnoise - This is just hypothesis and changes are so miniscule that it's difficult to make sense of it. My speakers show slightly more air in the sound when bi-wired but now I'm not so sure if I made right decision buying shotgun cable. It cost... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Scott - Even if only one person reads book from library it lowers the sales - without libraries people would buy more books. Frank explained to me that library has permission and pays fee to do it. People who rent books from library often engage i... | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. Not every HF circuit has resistor in series - it depend on speaker design (many have L-PAD). I didn't say that impedance of the cable is comparable to speaker's impedance - it is in order of 50-100x lower. What I'm saying is that it might be still... | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. EMF interaction between speakers is aided by the fact that output of an amp is separated from the speakers by inductance of the cable. Typical wire has inductance in order of 0.3uH/ft - equivalent to 0.188 ohm at 5kHz (counting 10ft both ways). It... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Uru975 - Agree. Nothing can excuse unethical behavior but if not for people copying and downloading - CDs would be over $30 (monopoly+demand) and many people wouldn't be able to afford them. This is more to even the field and in this particular ca... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Magfan - I forgot to answer aliasing. In sampling theory, input signal frequencies that exceed the Nyquist frequency are "aliased." That is, they are "folded back" or replicated at other positions in the spectrum above and below the Nyquist freque... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Magfan - As they say "The beauty is in the eye of beerholder" - some people like NOS players while others like me like a lot of oversampling. I have test disk (Sheffield Lab Test CD) where they imitate NOS an OS with the sound of a drum. I thing t... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Poverty is a really bad thing and people shouldn't do it!Seriously - I know (I hope) when I'm committing illegal act like unauthorized copying of CD or driving 56mpg in 55mpg zone but we have to remember that we are buying from the crooks who in c... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Wavetrader - as far as I know electrons don't flow. Electric current is an electromagnetic wave (while electrons move only about 1/2" per second) which is also difficult to explain using example od stacked balls since space between electrons is in... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Frank Thank you - I was mixing fair use with unauthorized copying. I know that RIAA was objecting at one point to making copy for yourself (thief=victim)I know that copying CD from another person is illegal but at the age of compact cassette and R... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Frank - maybe you, being a layewr, could help me with this: How is it moral and legal to rent and read book from library without paying anything to author or publisher (cutting on their profit). If book wouldn't be available in library more people... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Frank - I love the story and will send you a ham for it unless you're jewish. I had jewish lawyer once and he was very honest - could this be somehow related to lack of ham temptation? | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Eldaford - Jet plane was a joke but I think you mixing landing and taking off. During landing they are very quiet.I read once that 120dB was equivalent to standing next to jet engine during take-off (should I say running very fast). To visualize w... |
