| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency Well, at least paper should be able to disqualify the big offenders. THen it is left up to our ears, which I agree with 100%. And and over the years, my ears tell me there is more to it than meets the eye here.... ie it is NOT so black and white. ... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? The Hyperions look VERY nice! Would like to hear them someday. | |
| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency "The reason I made that comment is that an amplifier that violates one of the most fundamental rules of human hearing will never sound like real music."Is it really so black and white in practice though which designs truly "violate the rule" and t... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Ahead of nose hair, behind a uniform. | |
| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency "Ultimately you have to be more careful of your speaker choice; this is doubly important because a speaker that requires the amp to have feedback will never be able to sound like real music- it will at best sound like a good hifi."Absolute stateme... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? "Mapman:The answer to your question is to do away with reproduction altogether. Sell all your equipment and go to stadiums, concert halls, jazz clubs, auditoriums, amphitheaters, subways, bathrooms, etc. Go live!"Agreed! Live is the reference stan... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? OK, so I will go out on a limb and agree with Kijanki that educated application of NF = more faithful reproduction, in a pure technical sense, though as we all know, no solution is perfect and there are always potential drawbacks to deal with. In ... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? "What sound you like has nothing to do with original question. "It does in that there is no concrete objective answer to the question possible. It is a subjective question not an objective one to start with, so an objective/quantitative answer can... | |
| Machina Dynamica GEoff will rightfully tout that his scifi products are very reasonably priced compared to many high end audio trinkets. He will also recommend you put one on everything, including your cat's tail, for better sound. | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? That is a very informative article as are many of the replies, as usual.Only thing of value I can think to add is yes, practically, it is how the whole system functions together that matters, not specific design paradigms applied to specific compo... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? If you ge sucked into the music and it sounds bettef the longer you listen, you have a GOOD amp. Be happy. NF design is just one aspect. Alone, it means relatively little. No nfb designs in general might be better overall and there may be fewer nf... | |
| General question about Linn Axis Denon 103r low output mc cart i use with my axis/basik (i am original owner) would fit your bill. | |
| Machina Dynamica MD operates on the "Howard Stern" principle, ie any publicity, good or bad in nature, is still publicity. So ix-nay on the free publici-tay!! I think Geoff should pay to promote his wares like any normal business does and let the cards fall where ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,Not all 300w+ amps are created equal.With my newer OHMs, I started with a 300w/ch + Carver m4.0t amplifier. Its designed to sound like a tube amp and not particularly beefy/ high current for that wattage. Went plenty loud, but the low end ton... | |
| Squeezebox Dead? "do the Roku boxes pass 96/24 FLAC files? How do they connect with the home network, wifi?"Not sure about that, but I doubt it given the vintage of teh device. Never tried anything more than standard redbook CD resolution using both .wav and .flac... |
