| Speaker upgrade question... Von Schweikert VR-4 Jr | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Dude -- try to stay focused. There's no need for me to repeat the work done in the study I referenced. What, do you think I am going to listen to a few cables and say, "by god, .1dB down at 20Khz *IS* audible. Sean is right to give out incomplete ... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? >>i have to wonder where you obtained the figure of .1 dB at 4 ohms.<<From ----http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/interconnects/SpeakerCableFaceoffp2.htmTable 3 illustrates comparative insertion loss, total loss at 20 ... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? >>According to that data, the zip cord showed a .25 dB drop just above 20 KHz at 8 ohms.<<As usual, this is vague. "Just above 20Khz?" When you talk about a .1 dB drop at 20Khz as if it is the Niagra Falls, who knows what "Just above" ... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? A 10 foot length of 12AWG Zip Cord is 0.1dB down at 20kHz into a 4 ohm load.This is waaaaaay below the threshold of audibility -- see reference above.>>If it was true or factual in the least, i would remember it.<<Perhaps you should wr... | |
| buying today,need your thoughts Phil -- I appreciate your comments. I probably do not listen as loud as either of you. Best thing is that apparently this guy is bringing the speakers to turnitup's place for the Pepsi taste test, so he can listen and make the decision. | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Some reality ---The psycho-acoustic data shows that for pure tones at 16kHz the smallest average detectable difference in level is 3.05 dB. The findings were based on individuals 20 to 24 years old that had normal hearing to 20 kHz. "Speaker cabl... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? >>The only issue is whether this is audible or not,<<I appreciate this bit of honesty -- you seldom see this mentioned.The graph on your web-site confirms that this "roll-off" happens waaaaay outside the range of audibility.If you have... | |
| What is a small quality rear speaker that doesn't Check out Monitor Audio Radius R45 or R90's. They are small, unobtrusive, look pretty good and put out pretty amazing sound for such small speakers. I couldn't believe how well the R90's image. They throw a good sized sound-stage and completely di... | |
| buying today,need your thoughts >>but bleeding out of your ears, no way<<Mmmm....I don't know how to tell you this, but -- it is just a figure of speech. I didn't really mean you would sprout a plasma gusher from the ear holes. I meant that with the right amplificati... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Sean -- sorry, buddy, but you know I don't care about your "roll-off" that happens outside the range of audibility so it doesn't matter how many times you bring it up, it ain't like fine wine and it doesn't get any better with age. In fact, it is ... | |
| buying today,need your thoughts With the right amplification, in a moderate sized room, you can play the N803's loud enough to make your ears bleed. | |
| Best way to hear sonic signature of a cable? A better way is to blindfold yourself and have someone else switch the cables and see if you can even tell which is which. If you can't, then don't buy the hype. If the more expensive happens to sound like crap, keep the cheaper one. Lather, rinse... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Perhaps this one of the reasons the 10 guage Zip Cord exhibits lower Capacitance and Inductance than many of the more expensive speaker cables in the chart referenced above and why none of the more expensive cables produce a more linear frequency ... | |
