| vaporware My partner at work is very much into digital technology. He told me a LONG time ago that CDR's and especially CDRW's should not be counted on for long term archiving as they are far from "flawless". He also told me that i was speeding up their dea... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables This is a term that i've heard used with various meanings. Can someone please explain what the "accepted" meaning of "shotgun cables" is ?I've been told that "shotgunning" cables is when you take all of the conductors ( pos and neg ) of one speake... | |
| How can I bi-amp a 5-channel amp to my speakers ? If you're TRULY serious about doing this, the biggest benefit to bi-amping only comes when you go active and use and external crossover. The differences between passive bi-amping and active bi-amping are NOT subtle. Nor is such a set-up cheap or e... | |
| Level Restrictions? Out of respect for my girlfriend trying to sleep, i typically try to keep the computer room system down to a reasonable level at night. We have very different hours, so this can be a problem sometimes. The biggest problem occurs when listening to ... | |
| tough sounds to reproduce ??? Excellent points about the piano that make sense Abstract. I find that many systems can reproduce the "weight" of a piano but lack the air and harmonic overtones that give this instrument its' signature sound and timbre. Then again, you are saying... | |
| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? Craig, your last comment brings up an EXCELLENT source for another thread. Gotta start typing now : ) Sean> | |
| European -vs- US high-end I think that Kelly's statement can be summed up as "The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side" syndrome. Then again, you'll always have "loyalists" that prefer their "homegrown" to what can be bought overseas. My take on it is that speakers ar... | |
| Why do I have to turn the volume level so high? I've noticed this on several different surround processors that i've tried too. I didn't know if it was a problem that only i had run into or it was something that others were dealing with also. I assumed that it might be a combination of running ... | |
| Anybody know dates / MSRP of PS Audio from 80/90's Chazzbo, here's the info that i could find out about the aforementioned gear.The Lambda listed for $1695 in 1993The Digital Link Mk II was $499 in 1992The Delta 100 showed $1195 in 1992The 4.6 was $699 in 1989All of these prices were taken from Au... | |
| One woofer or a pair? Clueless, i would think that it wouldn't matter if the out of phase signal was presented by one driver summed to mono or by two in stereo, it would still end up cancelling itself out ( to a large extent ).By the way, you REALLY do need to change y... | |
| My pre-amp overloads my amp I wonder if the preamp is passing DC into the amp ? This could cause the amp's protection circuitry to trigger, giving you the aforementioned problem. Anybody else got any ideas ? Sean> | |
| Can I damage my amp and/or pre amp if I... The other guys nailed it on the head so i was just having some "fun". Hope you didn't take it personally and realized what was going on. Sean> | |
| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? I only have a couple of XRCD's. The biggest difference to me is that they seem to have greater dynamic range. This might be percieved due to a "blacker background" or a lower noise floor. The quiet passages are VERY quiet and the louder ones are a... | |
| Why does my Paradigm Servo-15 sub Hum? You can try the powered sub in a MILLION different systems and get hum IF the sub is plugged into a different outlet or on a different breaker. I'm assuming that you've got the sub at least a small distance away from your source components and as ... | |
| One woofer or a pair? JJ covered this over at AA, so i'll try to summarize what the thread entailed. Even though the output of a sub is centered well below 100 Hz, most of what we are able to localize is the actual distortion coming out of the driver. Since the harmoni... |
