| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? @geoffkait ā>>>>>Is there going to be an exchange of POWs? š³Oops, now that doesnāt sound right - make that POV š¬ | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? @mahlman āWhether I was serious with my now deleted message dissing sarcasm? You bet; I find your OP to stand on its own and read it sans sarcasm. Indeed itā all the more effective this way clearly expressing your POW while asking others about the... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? @pmiller -- If I understand this somewhat elitist approach correctly, I will no longer be able to appreciate music for what it is unless I learn to play an instrument and can add personal touches to my favorite tunes. I am so disappointed.As I've... | |
| Top notch integrated vs DAC direct into stereo amp @thieliste --Poster @douglas_schroeder is certainly right about you being the only one who can make the call, and that either option (DAC/preamp-poweramp vs. DAC-preamp-poweramp) could appeal to you the most. That being the case though Iād go the ... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? I propose that an audiophile must have more than a superficial knowledge about what he listens to and must technically understand what he is listening to. He knows why things work and what his end goal is and often makes his own components to ach... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? It may be fitting to note poster @mahlman's last paragraph above ends with a question: what do we think defines an audiophile? The man simply shared his opinion, to which he's entitled, and then went on to invite us into the same inquiry; kudos fo... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. And I thought listeningNa, you already proved you canāt do that with this statement.Every one of us preferred the sound of the bridged configuration, with some describing the sound as now being "more hifi"The "canāt see the forest for the trees"... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? The distinction between music and Home Theatre reproduction as it applies to subs is notably expressed here. I used to run previous, smaller sub set-ups much hotter (like +5dB's) when watching movies - as an act of compensation, I'm now aware - vs... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- And you canāt see the forest for the trees.And I thought listening, without theory dictating me what to hear, was doing exactly that (i.e.: seeing the forest for the trees).. | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifiĀ -- Bridging has nothing except more wattage over leaving the amp as stereo, you've been told now not just by me. Ā What's most telling is that I'm speaking to a brick wall.Ā God day, Sir. | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifiĀ --Not in the least, still fact with Class-D's today.Sorry, Not in the least, still fact with bridged today.In general Bridged AmpsPros=More watts.Cons=Worse damping factorHigher output impedance (has relevance to damping factor)Lower ... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- Some redundant info hereNot in the least, still fact with Class-Dās today. Class-D, you mean in bridged config. or stand-alone? My experience with Class-D is far from exhaustive, but what Iāve heard is noticeably different compared ... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- In general Bridged AmpsPros=More watts.Cons=Worse damping factorHigher output impedance (has relevance to damping factor)Lower stability (especially into low impedanceās)Current ability is reduced (especially into low impedanceās)Hi... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifiĀ --Each and every one of us preferred the sound of the bridged configuration, with some describing the sound as now being "more hifi"This statement says it all.A really good amp should sound big, tight and wash over you with dynamics an... | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. @georgehifi -- Thatās because all you get is more wattage, everything else takes a hit, especially current drive into lower impedanceās and stability, distortions. It almost makes what was a good amp into a PA amp.Sounds to me mostly like theoreti... |
