| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? You might as well ask why there are no horses and carts.@clearthinker Yes, those are ancient technologies. And that’s my whole question, my wondering ... how come there are still ancient technologies like tubes and vinyl in use in the audiophile w... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? To gamers refresh rate is not the only factor, although the higher the better. The other factor is latency ... the delay between the moment the video info left the PC and the moment it’s displayed on screen, caused by the built in digital image pr... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? @emailists That sure looks like a nice editing console you have there. And a well calibrated screen I bet ... OLED? | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? Motion is still better on CRT sets.Not so anymore on my 120Hz OLED, no smearing or tearing at all.I guess most of you got that the topic title was not meant literally. It’s just interesting that there still are tube amplifiers around, and vinyl re... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? Don't you have any 'black crush' in the dark scenes? :) | |
| Why so many tubes? Why they have so many tubes and why their prices are (excessively) high?One would think after 117 years of evolution (1904, invention of the vacuum tube) and with only 4 other components involved (R, C, L, transformer) engineers would have reached... | |
| Tornado and Thunder Power Cables The Rotels that you own are 'beasts' of an amp. Rotel engineers will have designed a wonderful and suitable power supply inside them, one that does all the mains power filtering needed. An (overly) expensive power cable won't / shouldn't be able t... | |
| 16 bit vs 24 bit vs 35 bit vs 36 bit vs 64 bit DAC sampling That you hear a ’big difference’ may stem from the fact that the analog circuitry behind the two DAC's is different, or that the digital audio processor uses some kind of filtering or effects to create a certain ’sound profile’. There’s no differe... | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? @Max Yes, doing our research, our reading, and maybe even some measurements, is big part of the fun of the hobby, as is exchanging knowledge, ideas and opinions on a forum like this. But while I might buy a new photo camera solely based on reviews... | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? Although all the technicalities and electronic measurements can be interesting, with an amp + speakers combination there's only one determining factor ... your ears. No matter what weird variations in impedance they may have, in the end it's how t... | |
| The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward... In it's current state this 'AVSummit' webpage looks more like a scam, luring you into paying $25. It's scheduled for 3 weeks from now, but there's no schedule yet, no list of exhibitioners, the Facebook link doesn't work and info on who exactly is... | |
| High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted There must be as much technic in that meter as in a complete car. AmazingI rather think there’s 22.485 of profit in that 1 meter. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? This is an interesting statement: " Tests I’ve run have shown little improvement, and this is expected given that loudspeaker systems and the drivers used therein are designed specifically with the understanding that they will be driven with a vol... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? This is an interesting article on the subject, © 2019, Rod Elliott (ESP)https://sound-au.com/articles/current-drive.htm#s1One of the conclusions (scroll to the bottom of the long article):"There have been many claims over the years that current dr... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? @erik_squires "Because, for the most part, most speaker drivers are linear to voltage, not current."Unless I misunderstood what you tried to say ... I thought linear with current.The loudspeaker uses a moving cone to create air vibrations. The con... |
