| 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. ;-) | |
| 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 |
