| Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1 Having read it a second time, I find his hand waving, deflections and verbosity less than compelling."On the one side is the audiophile who refuses to believe that a cable can make an audible improvement and immediately calls out any price deemed ... | |
| 16 bit vs 24 bit vs 35 bit vs 36 bit vs 64 bit DAC sampling @cleeds I understand the steps appearance in the time domain.Instead of the sinewave looking smooth in the time domain, it looks stepped up in increments, then down, up, down with the flow of the sinewave. The horizontal aspect.As bit rate increas... | |

| This discussion has been removed....again! Would this perhaps be the epitome of first world problems? | |
| Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1 I wonder what Tim Mrock's cables did to the sound to make it so obvious to anyone with good hearing? Completely deaf means anyone without hearing. Its actually the same thing as just being deaf. Everyone else has some degree of hearing - the... | |
| My Experience With Tekton @threeThe other thing that some folks obviously don’t understand is that using Watt’s law (sic), only at precisely 8 Ohms does 2.83V = 1W. At 4 Ohms 2.83V = 2W. Speakers are current driven, and amps are spec’d for the wattage they output, so quoti... | |
| Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1 Is it fair to compare xlr/balanced cables with RCA/unbalanced, as has been done here and elsewhere?I am under the impression that there are different processes invoked in employing the use of each type of cable. It is not changing just one variab... | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? All other things being equal (eg, ignoring things like actual level of sensitivity levels and type of amp, damping etc), I’d prefer a speaker with reasonably flat impedance and phase curves.Goes to things like imaging and other issues of import. G... | |
| High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted By definition, intellectual property is usually a closely guarded secret.Having said that, most cable bells and whistles are not even worthy of a patent, because that would require some threshold levels of actual research by someone with a univers... | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics How much feedback is being used. What do you know about the transformer windings. I know some from a certain country do about 6 windings. With a machine. Terrible frequency characteristics, but hey, it looks pretty.Once you are satisfied with "bas... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? I find this issue of timbre fascinating. It is something I have tried to understand but gave up.I’m interested to attempt to know how the choice of an amplification medium is material in reproducing the timbre in the recorded performance.This has ... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? "I took the AHB2 along with me for a weekend at our country place, in Connecticut, to see if it would be as successful with my more modest system there. That’s where I discovered that my new hero amp wasn’t quite perfect. Oh, its power and resolut... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? Peter says in response to Karsten - "I really wish that I shared this experience. Do you think my AHB2 may be a duff specimen? Surely not - these are mass produced and should all sound identical. If you’ve read my original posting "REVIEW - Benchm... |
