| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Unless this is different, ring radiators are several decades old.Kal | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Tvad: "OK, I'm bored and determined to help, so I looked through the B&K AVR305 manual which mentions accepting DVD-A up to 24/192 through the 5.1 analog inputs, so I'd say set the player to 24/192 as Kal suggested."Good idea but makes no sens... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? No. It already was a flash in the pan. Came and went.Kal | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Well, the reason for limiting the output bandwidth is to account for whether or not the device receiving the output can handle it. If you send a 24/192 signal to a DAC or receiver which can only handle 24/48, the extra bits would be truncated prod... | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Tvad wrote: "Perhaps the setting needs to be made on a disc-to-disc basis? My Donald Fagen disc specifically mentions 48khz/24bit. I don't own any other DVD-A discs to compare.I personally prefer to not upsample."Who said anything about upsampling... | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K DVD is up to 24/48. DVD-A can be anything up to 24/192, at least in 2 channels, and up to 24/96 in 5.1. So, set the output for 192kHz in order not to down-sample and mangle the best discs.Kal | |
| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound No set blinds will have any effect below mid-frequencies and exactly where they will change from dispersing the audio to reflecting it is somewhat unpredictable. The glass is transparent to bass and reflective of HF so, in order to have a nearly e... | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K First, I do not think you can feed the front L/R directly to the xDs amp since you would not have a volume control for those channels.Second, if you are using only the analog outs, the settings for S/PDIF (the digital output) are irrelevant.Third,... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? OK. The referred to manual from Eminent Tech distinguishes between different drive systems and further distinguishes a ribbon as having its magnetic polarity across the surface of its diaphragm rather than normal to it. Nonetheless, electrostatic ... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? "First of all, Apogee are not planars. They are ribbons.""As noted above, the Apogees (and Maggie IIIa's) are ribbons, and not planars."Would any one like to explain this distinction? A ribbon is a planar film driven in a particular way, afaik.Kal | |

| Cables for surround Under carpet No reason you should be getting feedback unless something is defective. In any case, I use Nordost under the carpet.Kal | |
| Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating? Jameswei is correct. However, let me add that inadequately rated wire and contacts will also represent a higher series resistance than larger ones, so you might expect some compromise in performance even if you do not get to meltdown conditions.Kal | |
| Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating? "The bigger the wire, the more current it can carry."Right. The same can be said for the switch contacts.Kal | |
| What are differences between Dual 301/401? I think, in this context, you probably mean Garrard 301/401.Kal |
