| Lie you told your wife to buy equipment? Markphd - don't be to harsh. They know their wifes might be reading. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Palerider - if you cannot understand just read more. Myself, if I cannot hear the difference I modestly admit it without saying that everybody else only "THINK" they hear a difference (that would be an arogance on my part). | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Hibosilver - Equalization in the studio is mostly done to individual instruments before mixing. Almost everything today is recorded digitaly and equalization is done the same way (stable and easy to control digital filters) - not possible at home ... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Mrtennis - I don't dictate anything - I only expressed my opinion like everybody else here. If all is subjective, in your opinion, then terms like clarity transparency etc. have no meaning and this forum has no purpose (other than chat room)I have... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? One more thing. Equalizers used in recording studio adjust each individual microphone/instrument BEFORE mix. They don't equalize mixed stereo image. Correct me if I'm wrong (any sound engineers here?). | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Shadorne - all the sliders on those mixing tables are most likely level control. There are also, as far as I know, Equalizers but extremely expensive (for a reason). Typical tone controls in home amps use pots with very poor matching. As for not c... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Altering tone always produces sonic degradation because it puts one more element in the chain (even if you set it 0dB/0dB). It destroys clarity imaging etc. For many people clarity/ imaging is the goal - not fun of tinkering. | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? "Yes but...the mix engineer and mastering engineer has already monkeyed around so much with what you hear that this "purity" goal becomes a "mute" point."Final product of this Monkeying around is what performer approved and want me to hear. If I c... | |
| Should repaired equipment be stated in the ad?? I believe that is not so important what I think but rather what possible buyer might think. I don't want anybody to feel bad after purchasing things from me, so I would reveal what I know. If I go by what I think then we enter dangerous territory... | |
| Should repaired equipment be stated in the ad?? Bdgregory - So you would really select and pay more (worth more to you) for the repaired unit (everything else being equal). Are you serious? Or maybe when you find out that you bought repaired unit you should call seller and thank him for that (h... | |
| To bi-wire or not to bi-wire? Musicnoise - with normal hearing, one can hear intensities from 0 dB to 140 dB. This corresponds to power ratio (defined as ratio of the highest audible intensity to the lowest audible intensity) equal to 100,000,000,000,000 - I would call it incr... | |
| To bi-wire or not to bi-wire? I would like to add 2 other reasons. One is skin effect that starts at gage 20 at 20kHz. Many woofer cables use gage 7 to preserve low impedance (damping factor). Second reason are the Eddy currents, generated by speakers, getting from speaker to ... | |
| LCD TV - Are they reliable ? I have to defend DLP. I have Samsung 42" DLP since 2001/2002 and had to replace bulb ($200) only once (rated 8k hours) running TV practically 6-7 hrs everyday. Bulbs are cheaper now. It has matte screen (while plasma is very shiny) that does not b... | |
| Help I need to locate a part The NPD5566 is National Semiconductor's version of the N-ch JFET 2N5566You might find Siliconix data sheet here http://www.vishay.com/docs/70254/70254.pdf(Siliconix belongs to Vishay now) | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Most of high end preamps don't even have tone controls and all amps sold in Best Buy do. This alone should suggest something. Tone control destroys imaging, clarity, and even tone. It changes harmonic structure by improper summing of harmonics (h... |
