| one 7 channel amp or seperate 2 channel amps? Pr: Think of how much current is being drawn through that one power cord at any given time feeding 7 channels simultaneously. If going that route, a heavy gauge conductor and a dedicated 20+ amp feed is a must. That is, if you really want the amp ... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? I extrapolated the figures that i posted from the original data that you were referencing. According to that data, the zip cord showed a .25 dB drop just above 20 KHz at 8 ohms. There was no mention of results into a 4 ohm load there, so i have to... | |
| Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT Linn's have never been known for having adequate isolation from vibration. By themselves, they are prone to skipping tonearms and cartridges across the disc if one is not careful. All i will say is that turntable design has come a LONG way since t... | |
| one 7 channel amp or seperate 2 channel amps? I'm using a 2 channel for my HT mains and a 5 channel for the center, surrounds and two subs. My experience is that most multi-channel amps aren't quite as good as a solid 2 channel amp, so i went this route. Depending on the quality of the multi-... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? I think that Albert mentioned having experience with some type of digital tracking force gauge in someone else's system. They couldn't figure out why the system sounded so out of the ordinary until they verified the tracking force. The results obt... | |
| DTS vs Dolby Digital? DTS has a definite technical advantage, but whether or not an individual movie sounds "better" is up to the recording engineer for each film / format being compared. Sean> | |
| Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT Aceto's comments would lead one to believe that the Ringmat improved the vinyl to cartridge interface by negating some of the effects of either floor-borne vibration and / or air-borne vibration due to the increased spl levels he mentioned. This i... | |
| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? El: I never said that i doubted your test results, so why would i bother trying to duplicate them? What i'm saying is that this is probably not the most appropriate manner to try and ascertain the type of information that we are looking for. Sean> | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables Only cables that are extremely wide in bandwidth and / or have a very low nominal impedance ( very low inductance ) can cause problems with your Threshold. The Anti-Cables are not capable of such a low impedance or low level of inductance regardle... | |
| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? DC of any given amplitude will have a constant RMS value. AC does not, especially when using non-symmetrical waveforms like that of music. DC of any given amplitude does not have a duty cycle. AC does not, especially when using non-symmetrical wav... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Rsbeck: The measurements that you initially referenced showed roll-off starting at appr 22 KHz if i remember correctly. This frequency is based on an 8 ohm load. Using a 4 ohm load, roll-off would occur at half that frequency i.e. 11 khz. At a 2 o... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Cinematic Systems is not trying to stir the pot, he's basically trying to ( reasonably politely ) comment on the design of Mike's room and the selection of gear. The fact that Mike has been dealing with Jtinn as both a dealer and consultant for th... | |
| Brought to you by Simmons Danlib1: One of the best and simplest things that you can do is to pack the "center aisle" that separates the individual air chambers from each other with foam. What they provide you with simply isn't enough, especially if you weigh more than 100 ... | |
| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? El: How is it possible for the motor structure of a loudspeaker, which is fed a non-steady state AC based musical signal, which varies quite drastically in both amplitude and duration, to operate anything like a DC motor?After thinking about the a... | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? Cdc: What makes you think that Qes is any more important than Qms, especially on a "full range" driver or woofer??? I see this line of thinking expressed all the time, yet i can't understand the logic behind it. If this were a driver specifically ... |
