| High Quality Fuses in Amps It's deja vu, all over again. | |
| Subwoofer: room 16 x 18.5.... Measurements of subs, while a good thing doesn't cut it in a real room.Google:: 'room mode calculator' and look for nodes /peaks and resonant frequencies below 300hz. they're the worst.Also, Find the Harman White paper on subs. The bottom line rec... | |
| Subwoofer: room 16 x 18.5.... While floor area is important, the height of ceiling also plays a part. Room size in ft3. Go to the HSU Research site and look at there room size chart.That'll give you some idea of sub to room relations. In any event, 8" is too small a sub, excep... | |
| Krell Resolution 2 - suitable upgrade?? At that level it would seem the curve is pretty 'steep'.Check out the thread on 'how much is a good system' and see what other people think! | |
| The best CD Player for the money Kijanki Yes, I am familiar w/aliasing. My first CD player was a FD1000 by Philips, sold here as Magnavox. It was a 4x OS player of 14bit resolution. If I could find parts for it I'd get it fixed. I'm curious about how it would sound in a totally m... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Kijanki, you are, of course referring to 'aliasing'?Can these frequencies be interpreted as harmonics? If so, than I can see where they'd be bad juju. | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Keep in mind I didn't start the Jet takeoff thing.I lived near El Toro MCAS and heard F-4 takeoffs which even with them being as easy as possible...no afterburners or aggressive climbouts, you could hear them for several minutes echoing thru the c... | |
| Magnepan MG-1 sonically challenged? The person who showed up and purchased my old MG-1s was very pleased. I demo'd them with a Rotel RB-1070 of 130x2 @8.Even then, he was very happy and listened to a couple of CDs for nearly an hour.I hope he is as happy with them as I was.If I had ... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Multimedia/node271.htmlThis article claims 96db range....from dead quiet to loudest.other articles claim up to 120db. 'Pain Threshold' is usually quoted at about 135db. I don't know what OSHA says, but I'll go out on a ... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? 135db and I can hear it!!!!!Human hearing dynamic range is somewhat lower than that...A sound at 135db would burst your ear drums or render you incapable of appreciating hi-fi.Therefore, a sound '135db' down is either....So far below hearing limit... | |
| Magnepan MG-1 sonically challenged? I had MG-1's for 20+years and just sold them last November.I'll kind of miss the old-school Oak Frames and cheesy black base. up to 6 or 7 years ago, Magnepan was more than happy to fix 'em, too...and install new socks. Great imaging, marginal hig... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost I'm sorry, but with All Due Respect, it is a sort of meaningless / nutty question.Compared to 99% of the world, I am wealthy. Yet, I have what around this 'neighborhood' is quite a modest system. My neighbors think I'm crazy....they all have HTIB!... | |
| Magnepan MG-1 sonically challenged? I just sold my MG-1s, last November. Had them for over 20 years and thru 1 rebuild in White Bear Lake......terrific in all regards. Not the highest highs or lowest lows, but fed enough power, they were credible. lo-fi visitors were nearly ALL amaz... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Specs are near-meaningless. At best, advisory.Don't worry about them. Would you junk out an amp you liked with a 90db snr and replace it with an amp you Didn't like with a 110db snr? Didn't think so.from wavetrader: If you have equivalently low le... | |
| Cambridge 840c vs. Bryston BCD-1 vs. Ayre CX-7e I have the 840c in a fairly 'bright' system, using PSAudio integrated and Magnepans. The balanced on the 840 DOES help low end definition. And I went 'cheapo' on my 1st set of Balanced cables.....a quick trip down to Guitar Center for some Mogami ... |
