| JL Audio Fathom 113 Hi Pass Filter The jl subs assume you are using a HP filter for your main speakers and that is advisable to do. If you do not have one, how you will implement if will depend on your system. Do you have a separate preamp and amp or some other way to insert a line... | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. Controversial here. I have not heard a difference.Kal | |
| Anyone ever tried 2x100Watt Bi-Amp Vs 200 Watt Speaker impedance neither drops nor rises with biamping as a rule. There are few exceptions. If Ngjockey is referring to the input impedance seen by the preamp, that does drop but most amps have such a high input impedance that even halving it sti... | |
| Anyone ever tried 2x100Watt Bi-Amp Vs 200 Watt Wow. Lots of opinions. IMHO, a good 200w is superior in terms of power availability. The reason is that most of the power is utilized in the bass and with 2x100, the woofer/LF will still see only 100w. One can argue that bass stress will not affec... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter 10-09-08: TbgKal, all audio is anecdotal. Again this is not a science, it is a taste choice. I would not say all but I would not dispute your position about audio and matters of taste.OTOH, I was pointing out that the scientific studies have not b... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter Aball wrote: "I also find it funny that Kal is looking for "independent corroboration" when it is right here in this thread and in audio magazines. This is as much corroboration as we'll ever get."That's pretty sad. The referred to papers at least... | |
| Sony X55-ES CD player... thoughts? XA5400ES, perhaps?http://stereophile.com/news/090508cedia1/(N.B.: It is likely an error in the Sony information that described it as a changer.)Kal | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter "There is some research that would suggest that although your ears probably are lucky to hear up to 16K Hz, that high end extension to 100K Hz does register in listener enjoyment of music. " Correct. There is some research but it all comes from on... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter Mlsstl is correct. In addition, note that, since you cannot hear above 20KHz, the interactions he describes will be the dominant effects of adding on the supertweeter. Kal | |
| Which Classical Recording is Best? I get your point, Rushton, and, technically, there are some. IMHO, they are inconsequential. (I don't think much of the Polish CPO's Beethoven and would rather listen to any one of more than a dozen others I have on LP, CD or SACD.)Kal | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables Ckoffend-You can try them; they should work. You have nothing to lose.OTOH, I would be more certain that digital cables would work for analog.Kal | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables OK. IMHO, it is hard "to do things by the book" when there are are no definable parameters except characteristic impedance for digital and LC values suitable for the loads in both cases.I tend to ignore the labels that manufacturers put on a cable... | |
| 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. ;-) |
