| Using 200w amp with 300w rms speaker +1 knotscottSensitivity: 90dB/W/mIt means that 1W from 1m will produce 90dB. The fact that you have two speakers adds 3dB. Because it is not open space, reflections in the room will likely add another 3dB. So, your speakers driven by 1W power w... | |
| Using 200w amp with 300w rms speaker The power recommendation is for MAXIMUM safe power.Yes, but it is maximum average power, not maximum peak power. Average power is equivalent to dissipated heat.Pavg = Vrms*Irms Peak power for sinewave is twice larger than average power. RMS o... | |
| What is the best way to play music with DAC/wireless? I don't stream yet, but for the playback from HD I chose Airplay. WiFi makes all things on the computer side irrelevant. You can use any computer with any speed and any amount of RAM and it won't make a difference since what is being send is dat... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I’m surprised that people can hear any media induced jitter from CD or CD-R. I can understand that on the receiving end (DAC) D/A conversion clock has to be recreated from incoming S/Pdif stream, but in CDP constant linear speed is created by comp... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I don't use CDP at all. All my music comes from HD (where it is just data) and I also tend to buy CDs used, mostly from Amazon. Audio CD-Rs create easy legal way of copying CDs from friends. I copy such CDs to HD, but have to keep Audio CD-R co... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... They stopped recording CD-R by burning aluminum long time ago, (burning speeds were around 2x). Today they laser-write to photosensitive dye. | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... If each CD has exactly the same checksum there will be no degradation since exactly the same data is copied each time. Checksum of the whole CD can be verified. I'm not sure how they copied CD - perhaps using Itunes or device that doesn't look f... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I can’t explain it but I get more detail than from my CD transportTransport connection to DAC can add more jitter (noise) and also scratches on CD can force CDP to interpolate data since CDPs, working in real time, cannot re-read each questionable... | |
| Is an unshielded, unbalanced cable useful for anything in hifi? Where? No, shielding is not "needed", but it can be helpful. Twisting wires provides very effective defense against ambient electrical noise. Shielding just makes it better, especially at very high frequencies, where twisting becomes less effective. T... | |
| Do caps stay "fully formed" even under minimal load? (SS) "...like class d amps. Someof the capacitors and other components are stressed to the maximum, all the time."Output Mosfets connect output to positive and negative supply with duty cycle dependent on desired output voltage. When duty cycle is 50%... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... +1 johnss I use two backups. Every time I add more than 5 CDs I copy to one of backups (altering between them). Using two backups protects me from loss of everything in case when one backup goes wrong, like controller failure (voltage spike, virus... | |
| The survival of the fittest. @simao I found this: https://www.ecrater.com/p/8977442/ohm-i-speaker-ad-rare-articleomnidirectional?gps=1&id=10239874... | |
| The survival of the fittest. @simao I remember OHM advertisements in late 70's. They also had a lot of positive reviews. Once company product is known and respected it likely doesn't need much advertising. On the other hand it puzzles me that they are able to operate dir... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... It is not such burden when you rip CDs when you want to listen to them. Instead of placing CD in CDP tray and pushing play button I place it in computer tray click on the "Rip" and after first song is ripped I play whole album in Itunes (ripping ... | |
| The survival of the fittest. @simao that's true for established brands like Ohm, but for less known companies it can be a killer, especially when lack of marketing is combined with lack of dealerships. My fantastic Hyperion HPS-938 speakers introduced in 2004, had many rewa... |
