| Outlaw 990, Anthem AVM 20, or ?? I like the Anthem - loads of built in flexibility and great value. | |
| Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP How about the dead fret sound on Radiohead's "Creep" an intentional effort by the lead guitarist to mess up a dull four chord song but their producer kept the one take, it became memorable and the rest is history. | |
| Vocalist Height system dependent? I measured my mid range driver is at 40 inches.Then I would think your tweeter is around 48 inches. If you sit 10 feet back with ear level at 36 inches in your comfy seat then you should have the impression of a vocalist standing at about the rig... | |
| Vocalist Height system dependent? My guess is that given the rack in front of your left speaker that you are disrupting the primary imaging. This means the most coherent sound you get is from the reflection from both speakers from off the ceiling.Another factor could be the crosso... | |
| Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP Try this thread for a few more "quirks". In fact you could add yours to the list. Although different reverb and sound effects changing from verse to chorus to fill etc. is actually pretty common. Sometimes you can hear headphones of an overdubbed ... | |
| Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP Shadorne, could it be that they used different takes for different pressings? Why would they do that? That happens a lot too. Say for example the album sells really well but a record exec in the US wants a different sound for the US market...they... | |
| Wide bandwidth = necessary? Possibly, I don't know how high you are talking. For example, an analog filter with a low slope is going to have a large knee with an effect on frequencies over about a decade. (so a simple analog RC low pass filter with a 3db point way up there a... | |
| Amplifier reproduction of instrument Timbre If the Ayre has no negative feedback (as per Al) then it will likely have a higher output impedance and this could modulate the response you hear according to the impedance variation with frequency of the speaker. This will certainly affect timbre. | |
| Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP That is very common - often different takes are spliced together or a mistake is over dubbed.See this linkI would say you can hear what could be categorized as errors on at least one third of what you buy. The most common is for distortion due to ... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years Johnnyb53Well Said. | |
| best WOOFER ??? TAD makes some excellent 15" woofers that have free air resonances in the mid-low 20s. They sure do! TAD are among the very best. | |
| Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot The tweeter is unique and patented. It goes down to 2KHz- well within the range of image definition. This reminds me of the Energy Pro 22 - they had a hyperdome tweeter that they made themselves and which was crossed over at 1.8 Khz. Great speake... | |
| Bass, more or less? "The search for perfect bass is futile, because if you want more you miss it and when you have it it disturbs you". Yes - technically speaking low frequencies will mask higher frequencies. So what you gain in bass may turn out to be a loss somewh... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus It very well could be, Shadorne. I don't know...I can only tell you what I hear. And I don't doubt you. Here is a manufacturer's explanation for why differences are sometimes apparent when "in theory" there should be NO difference. It turns out t... | |
| Wide bandwidth = necessary? I found out that I could hear the introduction/removal of a low pass filter at a frequency well above the frequency at which I became stone-deaf to a sine wave (the usual test signal). That is quite normal from many sharp low pass or brick wall f... |
