| 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... | |
| Mac mini to eq using toslink? Mac mini has only optical out and if your Beringer EQ has coax input use adaptor toslink/coax on the side of EQ (run Toslink all the way). Toslink is not very good for jitter (but good for braking ground loops) being slow but you don't have a choi... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Wavetrader - that's good!Clio09 - more headroom is always better if you can afford it. If you have let say $1k to buy an amp would you be better with mediocre 1kW amp or great 100W amp. 1kW amp should be twice louder but not always. Amps are rated... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Muralman - I read Kusunoki's article and have few problems with it. First is that he suddenly jumps to single picoseconds from 173ps by increasing number of bits to 20 and claims that it is not possible. we are not reading 20-bit from CD but 16. W... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Wavetrader - if you do this yourself be sure you know what you're doing. Installing low ESR caps with certain voltage regulators might cause oscillation. |
