| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I don't think anything can make it worse than -66.1db. Not sure you are interested but the spuriae (peaks at certain frequencies) make the average number look worse than it is. You are just looking at the raw number and that isn't telling the w... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. This was primarily due to full-wave–rectified, supply-related spuriae . In other words, peaks or spikes that make the measurement seem worse than it is. In this case low frequency spuriae due to class D design. No reviewer, and I must have read... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. When it suits you you will claim -80db is not audible... I expect at high volume in quiet passages it may be... You would be totally wrong. If I heard any noise I would freak out. All my gear is dead quiet, I work hard to make sure it is. If it... | |
| Electrical You might think about 30 amp service if you want to run some of the mega watt amps. | |
| Hooking up a subwoofer to preout You only need one RCA 99.999% of the time. Very few recordings do not have the low frequencies combined on both channels. Just make sure you use the variable preamp outs. If you use the fixed outputs, you'll only do that once, can get expensive. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. This this ridiculous because all outputs should be measured at their normal output levels, not attenuated. As a measurement standard most amps are measured at full power. That is where they perform the best in most cases. Although we don't list... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. That quote you made from Stereophile is from the 2014 review not what ASR reviewed. The first quote is the V1 version which supports the second quote for the V3 version. Both experts measured the Spinx V3 and I think got comparable results. S... | |
| Cable TV music source I have DirecTV. Some of the channels are decent and some have poor sound quality. Depends on the channel. | |
| Martin Logan ESL X Have you pulled them out at least 3 feet from the wall? | |
| My upgrade I will be keeping this amp but am wondering where do I go from here. A high buck tube preamp. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Just for entertainment purposes, here are two opinions of measurements with different conclusions. John Atkinson: Rogue Audio's Sphinx offers excellent measured performance with little sign of the usual compromises made in class-D designs. ... | |
| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? The High-end is stuff that costs just a bit more than I want to spend. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Why does Amir's opinion matter so much? Trust me when I say Amir's opinion does not matter to me at all, it carries zero weight for me. What this thread is about is trying to understand the mind set of people that only rely on measurements and ... | |
| Best Amp for Type AA Klipschorns (1978) No tubes? QS horn monos? | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade I can't speak about the A300 but I have two friends with A3.2s, one with Maggie 1.6s and the other with Martin Logan Requests. I spent a lot of time listening and improving those systems. Both were in very good rooms and both sounded very good. I ... |
