| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . 8Hz is away from the cutoff ?? What cutoff is that ? The only cutoff I am aware of is at around 20kHz for the anti-aliasing filters. I'm not aware of any low frequency rolloff in the redbook standard. I'm getting tired of these half-truths. By all... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . My opinion is that one should buy with ones ears. That said I am very interested in a meaningful discussion of the pros and cons of technologies. I believe most of the real answers to the analog vs digital debate lie in the realm of real world eng... | |
| Subwoofer Blending I don't have a specific answer, but I would strongly suggest demoing subs and picking whichever one sounds more musical, regardless of the sub's ability to provide a high-pass output. REL does not feature a high-pass output, but they are very good... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Well Dinos .... you question is answered. There will be much resistance due to the general hocus-pocus explanations of why digital must be bad "and so I won't even bother to audition" attitude.For me I'd rather get a $1k integrated and pay off the... | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . A few corrections.RIAA equalization has been in use SINCE the 1950s. I believe it was established as the standard for the modern 33rpm LP.Upsampling will make no difference to bass .. its aim is to ease the implementation of the brick wall filter ... | |
| Replace headphones or add headphone amp thanks everyone. I need to rethink my budget. | |
| How much should I spend on cd transport The marantz players have a lot of jitter on the digital output, but are otherwise fair transports. Therefore make sure that you either :1) purchase a DAC which reclocks the digital input.2) Budget for a jitter reducer such as monarchy DIP (about $... | |
| Monitor Audio FB210 or REL Strata ? If you haven't heard a quality sub in your stereo I think you're in for a treat. My strata transformed my CD collection. Some of the live CDs and large orchestral pieces are so transformed I'd find it hard to go back to no sub. Have fun ! | |
| Do power cords really matter? I think power cords make a huge difference .. it's awfully quiet without them. I have tried a few different power chords, mostly from expensive RF test equipment (I borrowed them from work) and I have heard absolutely no difference. | |
| Monitor Audio FB210 or REL Strata ? I think I'd go with the REL on that basis because the FB210 doesn't appear to give a significant frequency extension over your main speakers, and may give a nasty midbass hump because of the crossover being set too high.If you're unable to demo th... | |
| Monitor Audio FB210 or REL Strata ? You'll need to specify the cutoff of your main speakers and the size of the room you're driving. If your main speakers are full range then make sure whatever sub you buy has a crossover setting adjustable well below the mains. Also, if your room i... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Interesting ... no description of sonic differences.I guess I lucked out that my 15 yr old Rega has never needed any work except for replacement cartridges and belts. Same for everyone else I know with Regas. I wish my cars were all built to Rega'... | |
| Recommend speakers I think I saw a used pair of Epos ES14s on Agon. These are great standmount speakers ... good imaging, dynamics and very good bass for a standmount. | |
| Oh where or where have all the buyers gone? It's the economy, stupid ! | |
| Martin Logan Ascents & REL Storm Set-up, HELP A small correction ... their literature says that because of low crossover frequencies their subs are capable of being corner located. They don't say that you get the best sound from doing this.I agree that I may have a bad room, but I cannot beli... |
