| CD players with no or configurable upsampling There is a purpose for this brickwall low-pass filter. Without this filter aliases of high freqencies will fold into audible band. Filter has to pass 20kHz but reject 44kHz carrier - it cannot be done with even group delay (linear phase) Bessel li... | |
| Spades or bananas connectors? Damn! - I should've said "Blue glasses"20-20 vision? You must be kidding! It's going other direction and fast. | |
| Digital remastering of CD's Hifisoundguy - thanks for the link. Te problem is practical side of it. Even if there is noticable improvement with reverse phase on both speakers changing the phase is not an easy task. Since records, according to article, have 50% chance of bein... | |
| Impdence Question Duke - I'm leaning toward your view. I think that my previous experience with in-series woofer connection might have to do with other factors. One of them is doubling inductance in the circuit while another is getting stronger resonanses since the... | |
| transport help The DAC is Timbre (not Kimbre) - isn't it? Since I've never heard of it I found 1996 Soundstage review. They mentioned company policy toward inexpensive or free upgrades to the latest version - might be good to call them. It might also bring sugge... | |
| Spades or bananas connectors? Audiofeil - I might never tell the difference but purists prefere crimped (not soldered) spades. I installed AQ spades by crimping and then soldering with 4% silver solder heating wire first to avoid expansion (loosing oxygen free connection). Aud... | |
| how to pass 1080p Fred12 - component is an analog therefore you can pass anything but quality won't be as good as HDMI. | |
| Impdence Question Oops - should be "I have to think about it" - my english is bad but not that bad. | |
| CDP or DAC with DVD player Mjcmt - what happens when you add class D to Benchmark is that lower midrange becomes too lean. It was the case with my Audioquest Indigo thin sounding speaker cables. While upgrating cables I went with Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun and lower midran... | |
| Cambridge 840c or Pioneer PD-65/Benchmark DAC 1 Mjcmt - DAC1 with tube gear is a great combination according to many but I'm not in the "warm sound camp". Class D offers a lot for the money. My Rowland is very basic but there is a lot of great ones. Rowland Continuum integrated is very good bar... | |
| Cambridge 840c or Pioneer PD-65/Benchmark DAC 1 Mjcmt - I also enjoy DAC1 as a preamp but connected to class D amp (Rowland 102). Amp is cleaner (less brassy) than my previous integrated SS but when I connected DAC1 first time I had impression that there are missing instruments on recordings I ... | |
| Impdence Question Duke - I like your example wit divided coil, but I think that the difference is that EMF of both coils reacts with the speaker membrane motion while in case of two separate speakers it doesn't - even if they are driven with the same back EMF (same... | |
| Impdence Question System doesn't like long links and shortens them. The way I see it speakers is controlled when EMF generated by the speaker is shorted. Just take speaker and move/press its membrane - it moves freely. Now try to repeat it with speaker shorted by w... | |
| Impdence Question Sorry - link got shortened in my last post - here it is again:http://manuals.harman.com/JBL/CAR/Owner's%20Manual/15515%20GT4%20Man_ENG.pdf | |
| Impdence Question Audiokinesis - JBL in users manual for GT4 car subwoofer system states:"We recommend that you avoid connecting separate woofers inseries. The amplifier-damping factor (the amplifiers ability to control the motion of the wooferis expressed as a rati... |
