| Current amp vs Voltage amp "If that happens with less than 105 db, then its an indication that the system has some sort of odd ordered harmonic generation associated with its operation. A sound pressure level meter might be handy to sort out the actual volume level."Maybe, ... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp "I've picked some LP dogs that are so bad, the neighborhood dogs howl. And I don't think that's because of NF or impedance peaks or negative phase angles. Some recorded music just stinks."No doubt.Personally in my audio "journey" I have been in pl... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp HEy, look, if it weren't for fretting over how well every technical detail of one's system is working in theory compared to others, what else would one do? Listen to music and find out, maybe? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? YEs, I thought the same thing regarding D-Sonic and JS/OHM.One downside with OHM that results is that many CLS drivers look the same on the outside but are different by design internally. That makes it very hard to know exactly what you are gettin... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp " Full range, quality high efficiency speakers tend to be big and expensive.I think you have blame the laws of physics for that!!! "WHo better to blame without a dispute? :^)Of course, Atmasphere's claim that negative feedback always makes an amp ... | |
| KEF LS50 Seik,Thanks for all that. Very informative!"This is hard to explain, but there is something about the Kefs that make you feel like the coherency between the driver and tweeter is better."I'd be willing to bet the concentric/point source driver con... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp One of the most interesting recent developments in audio to me is that newer high efficiency amplifiers at affordable price points now offer an alternative to easier to drive higher efficiency speakers, which is a popular current high end paradigm... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp ALso, shame on the high end audio industry for not making it easier for buyers to get the most out of these products. It would not be hard to come up with a quantitative system for the benefit of buyers to identify quality of amp/speaker matches. ... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp This is a great discussion about the factors that go into good sound from a technical perspective. Speaker/amp matching is perhaps the most important fundamental to get right first to achieve best results IMHO. Every system must have an amp and sp... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Check out The Romeros on Mercury Living Presence for a special treat. | |
| Tweak you gotta try. Post your results... Earth already has a magnetic field that wires are running through. Why not more!!!! Or should I be tweaking to counter effects of earth magnetic field on my sound?I'm Geoffkait has an answer?:^) | |
| Tweak you gotta try. Post your results... "I use magnets for a number of things - electronics chassis, power cord plug, transformer, pc boards, glass, wood. In fact, colored magnets have been de rigueur for many years. Heck, I even make products that incorporate colored magnets or ARE col... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? A solid foundation is key to getting best performance out of the Walshes for sure!My 5's are in the basement on thin carpet over concrete foundation! Rock solid and perfect! No problems.My smaller 100S3s are on main level, with typical plywood flo... | |
| KEF LS50 Seokosha,How long have you lad the KEFs?I'd be curious which of KEF versus Harbeth wins with you in the long term. I suspect they sound more similar than they look? :^) | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I suspect most of D-Sonic customers are not running tube pre-amps. They are looking for best value in an amp mostly I suspect, and are probably not too concerned about technical details relating uniquely to tube gear. D-Sonic will certainly work w... |
