| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" > It is not difficult to hear the changes in sound produced by > using the Audio Desk Systeme.For the technical details of the error correction of binary data storage on an audio CD, see http://www.ee.washington.edu/conselec/CE/kuhn/cdmulti/... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" We're still back to the issue that programming code and data are accurately delivered by CD binary code in CD players but if that code in the same format is delivering music, it becomes corrupted. As for the Krell MD10, the thing has a clear plexi... | |
| Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer" I've always found it interesting that a CD can deliver 40 million lines of code (i.e., Windows XP OS) yet cannot be counted on to accurately deliver the zeros and ones on a music CD without special procedures. The only way light can cause errors b... | |
| Contrast/compare 50W tube amps Tpsonic, any reason the Conrad Johnson MV60 (55 watts/ch with EL34 tubes) or MV60SE (60 watts/ch with 6550 outputs) aren't on your list?I have the MV60 and find it very musical with more than adequate power. (I listen to a wide range of music, tho... | |
| Best speakers under $3K for tube amps, I have a set of Spendor S5e speakers that I use with my Conrad Johnson MV60 tube amp. Very nice combo, though they are 87dB sensitivity, not 86. Spendor also makes a couple of other models at or just under your price point. They are very natural, ... | |
| Electrical properties of cables If you have a sensitive voltmeter, check the voltage being delivered through the cable, both with a load and without. I also assume you've tried a different set of cables for comparison purposes? | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? > What was the MSRP of the Fs back in the mid to late 70s?I bought a pair of Ohm F's new in late 1974; the price was $800 for the pair. I believe the price increased fairly rapidly after that. They certainly had a magic about them.Three or fo... | |
| High Current / Low Current / No Current ?????? Herman, thanks for the correction. Shows the perils of replying off the top of one's head. | |
| High Current / Low Current / No Current ?????? Ohm's law (V=I*R and W=V*I) is in operation here. Say a typical transistor amp is capable of delivering 25 volts into an 8 ohm load. That'd give 3.125 amps of current, which is about 80 watts.Hook the same amp to a 4 ohm speaker and the current de... | |
| CAN I RUN 50HZ AMP ON 60HZ? From a safety point of view (damage to the amp or other equipment) the difference between 50 Hz and 60 Hz is not an issue in this situation. Whether or not they will provide the same level of audio quality is another issue. Assuming a properly des... | |
| Review: Spendor S5e Speaker > low to moderate volume?I generally listen in the 80 to 85 dB range (averaged setting, C scale) but will sometimes listen at a lower volume. Many speakers need a bit of volume to sound their best but I've been very impressed with them at reduc... | |
| Review: Spendor S5e Speaker Comparing the Maggies to Spendors is really an apples-oranges thing. Kind of like comparing a sports car to a luxury car; they are just two different animals. The one word I'd use for Maggies is "space." They have lots of it, with a very open soun... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? I don't believe there is a formal definition of "full range speaker." As such, it pretty much means whatever the person using it wants it to mean. At the least demanding end of the spectrum it could simply refer to any speaker system that is desig... | |
| Tone -- What's It All About? I don't think "tone" is a particularly good word for describing an audio system; it is way too fuzzy in meaning as my abridged dictionary lists 10 separate definitions. The closest one simply suggests a good sound quality. However, people misuse o... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER If you are convinced the room is acoustically symetrical and your physical arrangement is good, and you've switched all cables and equipment including speakers back & forth with the same off-center effect, I think you're back to the room. Ther... |
