| Experience with Cary CAD 808, "Rocket 88" It's been over twenty years; but- I owned a Rocket 88 and tried to get enough SPL to satisfy, with my Maggie MG12/QRs, actively bi-amped (w/Dahlquist DQ-LP1), at 200Hz, in a relatively small room. I'm a realistic SPL listener; so- it wasn... | |

| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? "We all have different likes, needs and expectations of what, in our particular environment, satisfies our musical enjoyment." Exactly! And; it’s the dedication to the pursuit of that, "musical enjoyment", that translates into what one i... | |

| One of a kind speakers by eminence If you actually want anything out of these, far as $$, you’d do better by listing the parts (auctioned individually) on eBay What you’ve got: 15" Eminence woofers, 4 1/2" Rolas (what Bose used in their earliest 901s) and Motorola Piezo tweete... | |
| What heat sink compound to use in a Musical Fidelity A1? "The thinner the application the better the heat transfer", as long as any gaps between your sink/lid surfaces are filled/bridged. Unless I’m mistaken; there are no fasteners, to hold the lid tightly against the heatsink, in the A1. | |

| $7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant? What jjss49 said, +1 (again/exactly) | |

| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. Again; clipped amplifier signal/voltage is NOT, "DC". It’s actually a mix of high frequency harmonic distortions and intermodulation components. Much of which are typically directed, to whatever a crossover’s high-pass filters allow, fir... | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. @twoleftears - There’s a decent treatise, under, ’Tone’, regarding tubes vs SS distortion, on this site: https://blog.thetubestore.com/tube-vs-solid-state-why-do-tubes-sound-better/#:~:text=The%20nature%20.... I've often attributed the mor... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? Compare the frequency (both high/low) and dynamic (SPL) ranges of piano (or- any other instrument) and pipe organ, here: https://www.zytrax.com/tech/audio/audio.html#frequencies Not a matter of opinion (all other considerations being equal)! | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- The tubes our amps utilize are called, "thermionic" because their cathodes must be heated, to emit electrons. Thus far; no one’s developed another method, regarding vacuum amplification/rectification (except, perhaps, Unicorn Audio). | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. @justmetoo: https://mixmasterforum.com/t/hard-clipping-vs-soft-clipping/1162 About the old NAD soft-clipping circuits and more on clipping: http://www.thefactoryaudio.com/blog/2017/1/28/soft-sabotage In that last tutorial; ment... | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. What millercarbon said, +1. Especially: that clipping is actually a high frequency distortion, that will be passed (by the crossover) to a system’s tweeters, first. ALSO; one can lose a tweeter to clipping, in a matter o... |
