| How to get 5.1 digital source into analog pre-amp Aside from professional/studio devices, the only ones are discontinued or cheap. For that very purpose, I use a Technics SH-AC500D which is good enough for that task but there are others that might do. Kal | |
| Testing for Dummies? Well, the direct answer is: It depends. Your description is, in general, correct but imperfect in details. However, the question is: What do you want to measure? It seems like you want some idea of what your speakers/system is doing in your room.I... | |
| Am I nuts? Biamping question... Still the same. Cascading two crossovers creates phase and level problems. Use one or the other.Kal | |
| Marantz 8 or 8b IIRC, the output transformers were quite different.Kal | |
| Am I nuts? Biamping question... If you are cascading the effects of an external custom crossover on top of the built-in speaker crossover, the results are unpredictable and will likely be inferior to using either one or the other. You will not be getting the benefits of true bia... | |
| acoustic system resonators I am unaware of any evidence to ignore. I see lots of anecdotal reports, none of them any more convincing to me than my own. Aside from that, have you any evidence? (And, yes, I have read the puffery in that so-called lab report.)Your statements a... | |
| acoustic system resonators As a scientist (and one involved in the study of the brain), I am very aware of the perceptual mechanisms to which we are all subject. Thus, my belief system is very restrained. People who believe these things work are right: They perceive it as r... | |

| acoustic system resonators Excuse the grammar. I type too fast when saying the obvious. | |
| acoustic system resonators Yes. At an audio show.Besides, having a completely uncritical mind makes you a customer for buy the Brooklyn Bridge. Not all ideas deserve equal respect.Kal | |
| acoustic system resonators Worse. Regular folks buy these things for even more money.Kal | |
| acoustic system resonators As I said, I read the French paper and did not find it convincing. More like a proposition to do more work for the client by a company whose expertise seems not particularly focussed on audio.Kal | |
| acoustic system resonators Scientifically tested? If you mean that wall-paper from the French lab, it is much less than convincing.Kal | |
| bi wiring "Your statement is correct, but the 2 cables are indeed driving a crossover, inside the speaker. The frequencies divide in the cables based on the impedances each is driving, with all frequencies taking the path(s) of least resistance. The 'high' ... |
