| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Rsbeck: If the cables measure the same, they'll sound the same. If they sound different, and you are honest about hearing a difference, then there must be some way to quantify what you hear. It is that simple and my method keeps it simple.Your met... | |
| Has anyone tried using two Sonic Impact amps? I was going to try doing this, but not in a conventional manner. That is, i was going to actively crossover and bi-amp some small speakers that i was intending to build for my computer. All of the electronics would have been built into the speaker... | |
| Tape Monitor Line-Out direct to amplifier solution Wow. Thanks for pointing that out / clarifying the situation Herman. I guess i didn't catch that Audiok was hinting at the same thing. I somehow overlooked that in the original post, probably because i wasn't ever expecting to see something like t... | |
| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets I just found this thread after Rgs commented about it in another thread. The comments that Brent passes on via word of mouth directly from Shunyata would make sense, as the first outlets will receive the most voltage and current. Then again, any d... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Once again, threads are overlapping. Rather than double post, here's a link to the other thread where Grant ( Tvad ) and i discussed alternatives to the Hydra. After reading all of this and seeing the opportunity to fill a void in the market that ... | |
| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? Tvad: How do you recommend alternatives when you're not aware of any? If there was an alternative on the market that i was aware of, don't you think that i would have mentioned it? As you've seen in the past, i'm not afraid to point people in what... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Pat: I don't doubt your times or horsepower figures one bit. I say that because my old Mustang with a cross-rammed 302 ran in the high 10's. Then again, it couldn't get out of it's own way until about 5000 rpm either : )I would only add that if yo... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Jneutron: Yes, most all of the posts are moderated prior to posting. There are a select few that bypass this part of posting though. I used to be one of those, but i've raised too much hell in the past to be fully trusted anymore : )As to AA, hope... | |
| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? Tvad: I've been going over that in my head all this morning. At this point in time, i think i've come up with a relatively low mass and simple to use solution ( according to theory ) to the problems you've mentioned. It wouldn't be nearly as effec... | |
| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? Denf: You might want to read this thread about power cords. Someone comments on the Hydra and the thread progresses from there. Be forewarned though, "Hydra lovers" and those thinking about switching to balanced power should proceed at their own r... | |
| Unintended lyrics Hack: Thanks for the link. I'll tell ya, some of what these people thought was being said in these songs REALLY cracks me up. I busted up laughing a few times : ) Sean> | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 I agree with Audioengr's comments about global feedback vs no global feedback. That is, the amps with global feedback will typically produce more "slam" and tighter bass than the designs that lack global feedback. Part of this has to do with the a... | |
| Tape Monitor Line-Out direct to amplifier solution Why would the tape out being run at full line level into a passive attenuator feeding an amp be any different than a CD player running into a passive attenuator feeding an amp? It is not like the passive attenuator has to dissipate high levels of ... | |
| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? I guess that one can receive authorization from the label to use a "controversial" ( especially for back then ) type of cover art on the LP when one owns the record label : )How many of you folks knew that Herb Albert was the "A" in A&M ??? Se... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Balanced power can work with some gear, on others, it makes a mess. I'm not a fan of toroidal based PLC's and somewhere in the archives, there's a thread where i explained why going into technical detail with a full explanation. To sum things up, ... |
