| Holographic imaging Roger,Maybe, but I'm not trying to sell anybody anything so I'm the only one who has to live with my crap.Also, your innovation is a lot more expensive than my crap and what my crap does and how it does it is well documented by the vendors so you ... | |
| Holographic imaging The only additional processing I use these days is DBX for dynamic range enhancement on oocasion. When I use it, I believe its generally due to dynamic range deficiencies in the recording compared to live sound rather than anything missing with my... | |
| Holographic imaging "How do you correct and compensate for something that you can not measure????? It would seem to me that a circuit smart enough to compensate for these so call velocity, I mean "Doppler Effect" errors would need some sort of a "sense" circuit with ... | |
| Amp vs preamp question The numbers are just guidelines to help narrow the search and get you there quicker. After that, its largely subjective...a matter of taste.I'd consider some of the more powerful Class D amps with the Thiels to get them fully fleshed out at reason... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Supper's Ready - Genesis | |
| Holographic imaging Is there a system out there that can be measured in such a manner as to quantify exactly how it sounds? Can systems be ranked accordingly on how good they sound based solely on measurements?Can anybody explain to me how a $1000 power cord works di... | |
| Amp vs preamp question Usually, its the bass at lower to moderate volumes that suffers driving speakers with difficult loads with amps that are not up to the task.IF you're willing to live with that for some other aspect of a particular amps sound, then I guess you will... | |
| Need rec on $500 preamp Also forget the tuner and go with a Roku Soundbridge or a Squeezebox for internet radio (sound quality approaches CD and smashes FM) and then you might add a music server later as well. | |
| Need rec on $500 preamp If you are considering the Benchmark DAC, maybe just consider the newer Benchmark DAC Preamp. This has digital and analog input capabilities and might have everything you need for ~$1500 or so, but the cost is marginal compared to just the Benchma... | |
| Holographic imaging "Perhaps it'd be best to just sell the H-Cat without trying to attribute it's effectiveness to an unverifiable theory..."Ignorance is bliss if it sounds good. | |
| What is your favorite type of tweeter? I'd lean towards Walsh tweeters though there are not many speakers arounf today using it.My first good speakers had heil tweeters. Damn things seemed to fry easily.Otherwise, I like tweets with good dispersion in general, like a good soft dome. | |
| Holographic imaging This holography stuff is starting to scare me.I think I'll just go 2-d. | |
| My head hurts.... I just started a music server by enabling media sharing in Windows Media Player in Vista on a laptop. IT works very nicely. The Windows Media Player interface for ripping CDs to disk is very fast . I ripped the 5 CD Ken Burns JAzz CD set yesterday... | |
| My head hurts.... "Begin with what you have now. it might surprise you what can be done with it."Absolutely. try what you have before convincing yourself it ain't any good. You might be surprised.You can and with the rate at which this technology is evolving, proba... | |
| Amp vs preamp question Douglas Schroeder has a good point.You want to be sure what you buy synergizes well. If you are not sure what will, an integrated would be a safe bet. Just make sure the amp can drive the speakers adequately.Another option is trial and error. Buy ... |
