| Sound of digital jitter and error correction? I'm no expert but my experience with a MArantz CD67 (which is a high-jitter player) is that jitter makes everything smooth and blurred. The effect when I added a monarchy DIP and an external DAC was that the DAC alone made almost no difference, bu... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Bomarc ... I'm pretty much in agreement that so far I haven't heard of any audio phenomena that could not be explained scientifically, including the science of the perception of sound. I must have miunderstood your previous post because I think we... | |
| What is the optimum rca digital cable length????? Sean is absolutely correct. With perfect impedance matching shortest is best, as it usually is with all non-RF cables.If the impedances are not perfect then I'm afraid you'll need about $50,000 of test equipment (an RF network analyzer) and the an... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? As an electronic design engineer, and a fervent believer in the scientific approach to understanding our world it saddens me that so many "scientific" people are so closed minded to anything that they cannot explain with their limited science. Be ... | |
| Advice on mini disk recorders I have found musiciansfriend.com to have a fairly good selection of home recording gear, from ADAT to minidisc, from studio mics to cheap mics.Minidisc, or analogue tape (compact cassette) sounds like the only availability at that price point. I'd... | |
| HELP with Speakers for a 11 ft X 12 ft room??? Are the speakers well out into the room ? I have a similar size room, and my speakers (Spicas) are 2.5 feet from the rear wall and 1.5 feet from the side walls, heavily toed in, to minimize side wall reflections. I sit less than 6 feet from the sp... | |
| Want More Bass Bob ... why must you always flame people who disagree with you ? I also have found that cables can improve a system that I'm already happy with, but will not rescue a system which I'm fundamentally unhappy with. | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? It seems that people will deny that wires make a difference for several reasons:1) They tried them and heard no difference.2) They will not try it because their "theory" says it won't make a difference.3) They're open minded, and would like to try... | |
| dac or new cd player Couvajazz ... I don't see any blanket dismissals, just a warning that cheap CD players used as a transport for an expensive DAC is a bit of a crapshoot. | |
| dac or new cd player I'm with Duddley ... the transport makes a big difference to the sound (yes it really surprised me!) and a Yamaha carousel is more than likely a bad transport. An Arcam player might give you a bit more sparkle. | |
| Want More Bass If you like all aspects of your current system except the bass then adding a sub is probably the most logical approach. Getting bigger main speakers may give more bass, but you'll still be using the same amp, with its power limitations, whereas wi... | |
| Another Sub Q: Is my sub mismatched with speakers? I think that if you run your main speakers full range you have to set the sub crossover below the mains. So I think 30Hz is a fair guess for where you would have to cross.My guess is that the crossover at 50Hz will result in boomy, muddy bass. It'... | |
| What is the Best Speaker thats no bigger than 14 Spendor S3/5 is very forgiving of a close rear wall. It's not the best speaker for the price, but anything else I can think of will probably not work on a shelf near a wall. There are not too many small, infinite baffle designs on the market. | |
| REL Quake/MJ acoustics pro 50 sub Phasecorrect .... you will enjoy a good sub. My system, based around Spica Angelus has really come to life since I added the sub.BTW I got a 6 month old mint Strata 3 for $850 shipped, from a dealer in LA, and I see them on this board for similar ... | |
| Has anyone else noticed this about Mozart .... Thanks everyone, again, for the great posts. With a hyperactive 20 month old at home I don't get too much time for reading or listening, but I'll bookmark this thread and try to get around to it later. |
