| Neutral electronics are a farce... geoffkaitWould you settle for whatever distortion you get in the concert hall during a live performance?Its nothing but air which is a linear transfer medium.If it did exactly the same thing in your home would you say "this is just like being ther... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... atmosphere ^^ of course, there is the issue of what is meant by 'zero distortion'. I think it narrows down to obviously having ultra low or no harmonic distortion but more importantly it has to have the absence of dynamic phase errors that fall ... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... jmcgrogan2 I did not say there was no sonic signature Roger. I said the neutral means to me that neither the high nor low frequencies are emphasized. There is a difference.Yes I know you did not say there was no sonic signature. My point was what... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... infection,jmcgrogan2 said... I think that "neutral" is one of the most miss-understood and misused words in the audio hobby.My impression of neutral is a sonic signature which does not emphasize the low or the high frequencies. What happens if... | |
| Speaker Hiss with Krell Amp dsper,Have you tried just running the amp with no input (or shorting plugs)?With no signal applied, does the volume setting on your preamp change the results?It might be a grounding issue.Roger | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? gdhal, Those observations are slightly different. It is true when I describe the projection that results in a full stage shift caused by the slight offset in distance between the speakers and your ears. If you were sitting in the hall for real an... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Thanks mapman,I hope you get a chance down the road to give a listen.I will be at the Newport Beach show in June.Roger | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? gdhal, what happens when the two speakers (assuming two channels) are not precisely (as in less than 1000th of an inch) aligned and distanced from the listeners ears? Is distortion re-introduced? Actually -The only thing that will happen is it w... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? mapman, The consensus generally is that harmonic distortion specs alone tell you little meaningful about the resulting sound You are making my point. The same way the SS amps with 0.005 % cannot match the warm full sound of a tube amp with 0.5 ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? The speed I'm talking about is not the speed of electricity traveling from the positive supply down through the tube/transistor and into the circuit ground.That is the vertical axis which is responsible for providing an instantaneous voltage (pote... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? geoffkait, One more question: once the signal leaves the amplifier it still needs to get to the speakers. The speaker cables introduce additional velocity differences in the signal since the high frequencies travel closer to the surface of the c... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? It seems that the worst offender of the velocity errors is the power amp.It may be because it has the task of converting the electrical wave into an acoustic wave via the transducers (speakers).As you may know sometimes the IC connections can beco... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? I know how difficult it is to see what I'm talking about believe me - this is why it took years to figure out.The electrical version of a sound wave has to include the complete phenomenon of the [wave] event. Other wise it can't possibly be expect... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? I thank this can be narrowed down to a basic concept.What is the difference between listening at the venue and listening at home?At the concert hall the medium is air.At home (from your speakers) to you is air.The electrical "version" of sound wav... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? The Mach One speed is of course the velocity of the "wave" part of the sound wave.The details of each sound object is embedded in the instantaneous pressure which is seen on the vertical axis. The frequencies contained in the rich harmonic structu... |
