| your Thoughts on AV8801? Ok ok..that's probably a bit cynical on my part. I condeed.However, apparently, in a pinch, I can substitute the Marantz for my Pass Labs pre, no problem. Who knew!?!!So, thanks for that...Yes he shows you spent too much money on your Pass labs. G... | |
| Oh no, not B&W again Interesting.. Yes the current 800 series has an issue (I think they when form over function with this iteration), but to say it is not audiophile, I don't know.Just because I can go to best buy and pick up a B&W, Mac, Sonus Faber, Wharfedale, ... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? Kids these days. They don't understand that when I was young even the worst musician farted better sounds than people hear now. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I quit EE when in knew from physics that there was a normal distribution around the computations from Ohm's law in the lab. Are you saying that Ohm's law is wrong, or are you saying that there is tolerance in every measurement?Just like a scientif... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? If someone woke today in a non vinyl world and dreamed it up today, they would certainly say "yeah, but there's no decent new music to record on it." Then rollover and go back to sleep.Coming from a Wilco fan.... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Neutral is completely hypothetical. It ain't gonna happen.Absolutely, but the range from neutral is measurable. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? You are right. The page I listed was only referring to RF signals. They are not AC...Gold is a slightly worse conductor than copper. It is only used because it doesn't corrode as easily as copper. Silver is slightly better than copper, and if you ... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? So, because his company is successful, the products must be a poor value? I learn something new here every day. I think that is not the point. I think he is saying that PS is resting on their laurels. Terms like "prefectwave" are disingenuous beca... | |
| what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass If you really want more bass, it is probably either a speaker issue or a "desire" issue. The revel's are very very flat speakers. They are only giving you what is in the signal and the amps you have tested are all very good amps that are pretty fl... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Fast cables? Signals travel at near the speed of light. I don't know how much faster cables can be. Also dielectrics at low frequency is marketing mumbo jumbo from cable manufacturers. It can be measured in capacitance which is incredibly small on... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Who knows what hi-fi/ audiophile mean anymore. There are some crazy claims out there. Ideally speakers would have superflat response curves from 20-20k, electronics would have no distortion and the noise floor would be at -infinity. That would be ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction I want to clarify something. I honestly believe that some people hear a difference in the directionality of cables. I just do not feel there is a scientific explanation for this. This a belief thing. I find that the only evidence that has been sub... | |
| DAC improvements slowing down? Wille,I suppose so, but I suspect the limit in sound will come from the speakers. The information being fed into the speakers will be much better than that coming from the electronics side.The next big improvement in digital audio will come from r... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48,If the signal is altered from one end of the cable to the other it is absolutely able to measured in a scope. That is what scopes excel at, measuring signals.So we can measure a bunch of different frequencies and see what happens to the sign... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi I don't know why it is so expensive now. I suspect there are many reasons, reduced market share, marketing, prestige factor, etc. Some of it may be less true competition. Way back in the '70s there were many big separate companies making good prod... |
