| rated power test results sound & vision mag Here's a link to the original article.I've been saying for a few years now that most of the surround sound receivers on the market are pitiful in performance. Not only does their power drop as more channels are engaged, their output at lower imped... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? I'm NOT about to type out the novels that i did last time all of this "evidence" was introduced. Rsbeck failed to respond to any / all of my previous rebuttals on the subject because he couldn't refute the information that i used as a reference. T... | |
| Record Cleaning Again I sometimes buy a small stack of discs at a time, making "assembly line cleaning techniques" very handy. In fact, i just bought 17 discs yesterday, which all need to be thoroughly cleaned. For the cost that i have in the three machines as compared... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? All of the figures that i provided was extrapolated from the data that Rod Elliott provided on his website. These were the tests that you used as a point of reference. If you've got a problem with the figures quoted, argue with the guy that provid... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Rsbeck: We went through all of this garbage concerning loudspeaker cable non-linearities in another recent thread. In case you can't remember, you weren't able to refute any of the scientifically derived claims that i made in that thread. The fact... | |
| Audiogon and the Hi-Fi Mags If people are selling gear on Agon, wouldn't it be logical that they are doing so probably because they want to upgrade or at least replace it with other gear? The fact that they would either have to buy new gear or more used gear, possibly from t... | |
| Record Cleaning Again Fremer's articleI've been using a similar method for quite some time. Three different record cleaning machines for each disc. Machine one ( VPI 16.5 ) is used to scrub side A of the disc with cleaning solvent and then i vacuum off the sludge. Mach... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Lrsky: Why not set up a demo that will prove your brother to be wrong and then have him eat his own words after listening with his own ears? With all of your expertise and connections in the field of electronics and audio, finding a suitable combo... | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? Mgh: Did you ever resolve the problem that you were having with the left channel? What about the hum in your speakers that was volume sensitive? Sean> | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing El: Thanks for correcting my previous errors, your previous errors and then confirming my last statements.The bottom line is that, as good as digital is and can be, it is still trailing behind analogue as we know both formats today. It is too bad ... | |
| Are NHT speakers know for being inefficient? Most newer receivers are gutless wonders, especially into lower impedance / reactive loads. As such, i would suspect the Pioneer falls into that category and simply isn't up to the task. Sean> | |
| Is the dunlavy SC-IV still worth to buy? Rcprince is right on the money. Monitors with a low Q sealed sub would work best here. You're already going to have problems in terms of bass response due to the size and shape of the room, so you don't want a woofer system that lacks control and ... | |
| Center channel mounting on Mitsubishi 52725 Wow. I Googled using Mitsubishi WD-52725 as the search criteria and came up with a website that had a bunch of info on this model. They listed the dimensions as that of what i had above. Then again, i guess that if the device doesn't utilized a "s... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Hmmm... I'm surprised that nobody jumped all over me for stating the obvious. That is, digital is a poor replication of what is originally an analogue source. I'm also glad to see that nobody contradicts the fact that having more sampling points c... | |
| RTR electrstatic speakers I looked through the info that i had on hand and here is what i came up with. As listed in 1975, the RTR ESR-6 was an add on E-stat tweeter array. It was listed as covering from 1500 Hz up to 30 KHz with a sensitivity of 88 dB's @ 1 watt / 1 meter... |
