| Blind Power Cord Test & results Dragon1952: This has nothing to do with "audio" or "snobbery". Cutting and pasting isn't a big deal, but if you want someone to look at something, the most logical thing to do is to make it easy for them to do so. Otherwise, it is kind of like say... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Sorry for my rant here, but you guys kill me with the lack of links. The directions on how to post a link is found directly under the data input area and is labeled "No html, but you may use markup tags". Clicking on that will show you exactly how... | |
| CEC modifications - do they work????? I know that Francisco aka Psychicanimal had Dan Wright modify and maybe even cryo his CEC based belt drive transport. I know that he was very happy with it after that. From what i can recall, he had mentioned something about the unit lacking PRAT ... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? El: I don't doubt your observation. The one point that i would make would be in question form to you. That is, "Is just one or both of the principles stated above coming into play in the last row?". Sean> | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? El: As sound travels further, it loses intensity. This is true whether it is a directly radiated signal or that of a reflected signal. The only time that one encounters increased intensity at a greater distance from the originating source would be... | |
| RTR electrstatic speakers Working from memory, the RTR panels that i have are 3" x 5.75" or so. The panels that you have are obviously different than what i've got and almost twice the size, hence the greater amount of low frequency displacement. Even with the greater size... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Bose 901's are based on 11% direct vs 89% reflected sound. Unless one is standing completely off axis and slightly around a corner from where the performance is taking place, those ratios are highly unlikely to be anywhere near accurate during a l... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? A guy that i had known for years had never heard a "high end" audio system before. I had been to his house a few times for parties and even repaired some gear for him ( Pioneer receiver and Pioneer speakers ), but he had never come by my place. As... | |
| How to clean Analysis Plus T1 spades ? While not specifically talking about Analysis Plus connectors, try some Caig Pro-Gold on an abrasive cloth. If you like, you can buy pre-made Pro-Gold wipes, but they are pretty expensive for what you get. Caig Deoxit on abrasive cloth may also wo... | |
| RTR electrstatic speakers Spfury1965: The RTR's are strictly tweeters, nothing more. Even if you ran a bunch of these, i wouldn't expect any type of bass output out of them. Sean> | |
| the best amp to run the bass of infinity RS-1b's Darinkperih: Glad that things worked out for you. I somehow missed both your original and follow-up posts to this thread. Not only am i glad that you were able to get the Perreaux working again, i'm glad that you were at least initially happy with... | |
| dbx Expnders - 3bx, 5bx Kind of funny how digital is supposed to have "sooo much more" dynamic range, yet the current batch of recordings use more compression than ever. Talk about a paradox!!! Sean> | |
| Is there a audiophile bible? Outside of Robert Harley's book, you might want to look for a book by Laura Dearborn's book entitled "Good Sound: AN UNCOMPLICATED GUIDE TO CHOOSING AND USING AUDIO EQUIPMENT". Both books are good and cover much of the same material, but their wri... | |
| RTR electrstatic speakers All of the parts & info that i have on these is boxed up in preparation for moving, along with the rest of that particular system. The last time i relocated, it was a disaster and took forever. Between my business and various hobbies, I have a... | |
| dbx Expnders - 3bx, 5bx El: the fact that dynamic processors respond AFTER the fact is why i said that they aren't suitable for high end systems and work better with lower grade components. With lower grade components, which are typically bandwidth and transiently challe... |
