| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables First, we have a basic disagreement about the significance of some parameters but just because a parameter is ignored or not specified for a particular application does not mean that it cannot share that parameter with the other application. So, m... | |
| Which Classical Recording is Best? Thanks, Rushton, but the LP lines you mention are too limited and trivial to be relevant, especially since they (with the exception of Classic) are also releasing those on SACD. None of the LPs are multichannel. ;-)Kal | |
| Non-current limiting power conditioners All wall outlets are current-limited. All you want is a conditioner that has a greater limit. ;-) | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center Do the math. Remember, there will be interference of all frequencies ABOVE the one whose 1/2 wavelength equals the separation. Therefore, a low cut is irrelevant.Kal | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center Separating them farther does not eliminate the interference, it simply extends it down into lower frequencies (frequencies whose 1/2 wavelength is less than the distance between the drivers). Your suggestion of using them one above and one below (... | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center There may be no unanimity but there is a consensus based on experience and science. Now, of course, it is always best to try something that interests you (as long as it does not cost a limb) and decide for yourself.Kal | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center I advise against it. The standard MTM center is bad enough in terms of HF interference and corrupted radiation patterns. Using two speakers side-by-side, whether horizontal or vertical, would increase these problems. (Have you noticed that virtual... | |
| SONY TA-N9000ES Possibly but (1) you will have to figure out some way to balance the two amps and (2) there's little gain (!) in doing so.Kal | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables Kijanki-You point out the parameters which are important for digital and those which are important for analog. However, none of these parameters are incompatible making it entirely possible for a single cable to be optimal for both. As for anti-vi... | |
| Hearing Loss & Equalization A query like this is posted every six months or so. The problem is that there is no way to do it since neural adaptation will make the shift from real world to EQ-ed phones/speakers wrenching all the time. I have done this for a friend with severe... | |
| Best real DSD recordings on SACD. There an appendage, RITR, to most of my columns with my favorite new releases.Kal http://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables Right. The devices may not be connected in the same way although those differences are less common these days. Nonetheless, the only reason for not having the usual direct connections in the cables is to compensate for differences between the devi... | |
| Best real DSD recordings on SACD. Too many. | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables The wiring in the cable is irrelevant since it is straight through. That is, 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and 3 to 3. So, as long as the source and receiver match, any will do.Kal | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables They will work just fine. Both are straight-through cables with 600ohm impedance.Kal |
