| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Mapman, thanks. I know it was a while ago, but how would you assess trebles? Was it an "airy" presentation? My Rowland is a little bit on the darkish side according to one editorial review. AHB2 might be good step-up for me from entry level cl... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Thanks, Randy. I forgot about their 30 day trial policy. Now, it will take some skills to convince my wife it is absolutely necessary. | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? Benchmark DAC1 -> Benchmark DAC3 HGC. Shadorne review helped me to decide. DAC3 is not only more refined but also fuller sounding in the lower midrange. DAC1 in comparison now seems a little "thin" sounding. Imaging is also better. I enjo... | |
| Equalization bstbomber, I still remember that I had to constantly adjust my old inexpensive receiver's controls. It was either too bassy, too veiled, too bright etc. Almost every CD needed some adjustment. Today, with better source, amp and speakers I don'... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable That’s a bit like trying to prove that classical music is superior to jazz? Of course, it is superior. Jazz musicians don’t even know where the right notes are constantly searching for them. For instance, Jazz bassist "walks" all over the finger-... | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? onhwy61, I've heard of similar demonstration (long time ago) with symphony orchestra and the best audio system available behind the curtain. Herber Von Karajan, asked to participate, detected system with ease every time. When they asked him how d... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab However, if error correction algorithm is engaged then I also agree this is not "perfect" and is in fact a "best guess"Error correction and interpolation are two different things. System will interpolate when it cannot error correct any more (gap... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab I will try to find something. For now read this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_disc | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab Cros-Interleaved Reed-Solomon Code (CIRC) allows to recover data from up to about 4mm scratches along the track. Between 4-8mm data is interpolated while scratches longer than 8mm cause dropouts - at least for the most of CDPs working in real time... | |
| Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers Twoleftears, I suspect that there are many cables like that. I had one from Audioquest. My current cable Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun has two indentical cables for high and low - each about 1 inch in diameter (gauge 10) | |
| Anyone With A Class 'D' Amp Play A 4 or 2 Ohm Speaker? Where is LIKE button??? | |
| Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers Using different gauge for upper and lower terminals might affect speaker's frequency response. I understand that woofers take more current, but low/high ratio will change - tweeter cable will have larger (percentage wise) voltage drops. Most lik... | |
| Anyone With A Class 'D' Amp Play A 4 or 2 Ohm Speaker? One of our past Audiogoners had class D Icepower amp (H2O), rated 2 ohm min, driving 1 ohm nominal Apogee Scintilla speakers with great results. | |
| power cords with active shielding I did read everything but unfortunately cannot think of anything else, especially since Al and Ralph already commented. It could be the power cable, speaker cables or both. I listen to recorded noise and watched youtube video showing sound of di... | |
| power cords with active shielding Jim, speaker cables are antennas for the electrical noise since amplifier has low output impedance only for low frequency signals. Induced noise enters amps input thru the feedback loop. As for the ferrite - on one hand you need highest permeabi... |
