A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At
@rauliruegas The thing to remember is the NATURE of the bass. Planar open baffle style bass is different in terms of attack, harmonics, and decay than conventional woofers. Even if they are in sealed boxes and servo controlled. The higher you brin... 
A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At
@lewm I don’t have the schematic to say at what stage the AD conversion occurs. Is it the first step, or does something else happen? So that is why I say at some point. We can say for sure that it occurs between before the output stage, and it me ... 
A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At
@rauliruegas A pair of Velodyne HGS12 subwoofers are controlled by the Trinov program. Crossover point is set at 58Hz and the crossover is a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley. I have other crossover types available to me, such as various Bessel or Butterwo... 
A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At
@tvrgeek It is all a balancing act, and its a cost versus reward analysis. I tune the room the best I can with acoustic panels and speaker and equipment stand location. Actually the room measures almost ruler flat from 200 Hz on up. Then I allows ... 
Thank You Fumihiko Sugano and Koetsu
Can we present any links to this claim. I have searched and seen nothing that supports this.   
A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At

Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu?
So a quality 3rd party service provider like Expert Stylus is unable to retain the sole plate?   
Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu?
@mulveling    Would you have a link to a closeup image of a Koetsu diamond mounting?   
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
Always Wondered how 2Juki can sell a Rosewood Signature Platinum for $3900 or a Blue Lace Platinum for $5880. With a 90 day warranty from the US distributor and a price 3X higher than a verified eBay seller I fail to see any incentive to buy from ... 
Bought A Vintage Kiseki This Weekend
So I aligned the cartridge this afternoon. Getting a good sight on the grid with these Japanese style long bodies are tedious. Have played a few albums and it has met those quiet expectations you have when you buy a cartridge. Is a Kiseki all fai... 
Bought A Vintage Kiseki This Weekend
@lewm  Never heard of cloning? Test tube cartridges? Artificial insemination?        You know where they got to stroke that        cartridges John Thomas to get the stuff Surrogate mother's?     
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
As an update. The stock ML cords have been installed on my subwoofers. So I let the system play all night on a playlist. I sat down for a bit before heading out to work. I was able to swap cables between subs and the ML. Small differences between ... 
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
@mrskeptic   But what happens if do not expect to hear a change? Do we then have unexpectation bias? If so what does that prove? Yes but we have expectations. I expect to receive a paycheck every two weeks. When I get it does that mean it is a... 
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
@jhnnrrs   So you know the "truth". How comforting.   And what makes you think I own a lava lamp? As a truth teller you should get the facts correct and not lean on conjecture.  
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
Yes. To the best of my knowledge.
