| How do you explain slow/lazy sound? Slam or attack is in the upper midrange 1 to 3 Khz (when a drum stick hits the skin or a piano hammer hits the strings). If you cut this upper midrange then it will sound laid back (many speakers do so and sometimes deliberately so). Another effec... | |
| Directional interconnect cables Musicnoise, I agree with most of what you said but the velocity of electrons (called drift velocity) required to move a few A of current inside a copper wire is indeed only a few mm per second. For those lay people confused by this. Think of a a ... | |
| Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx If you like the Sophia then my suggestion would be to stick to simpler three ways rather than Appolito designs (which use two midranges to increase output/avoid compression but all suffer from lobing issues). You may prefer the sound of the Sophia... | |
| The closest approach...really Interesting discussion. While I can understand the pursuit of best sound reproduction available (within the constraints of your budget if you have one) what I can't understand is how does one know when the pinacle has been reached and that furthe... | |
| faint precession of sound on vinyl As passionate as I am about vinyl, this is one area where CD works. Too bad it sounds as dead as my great grandfather's genitals. Some forms of distortion are pleasing to the ear - since the Beatles engineers have been playing around with effects... | |
| Directional interconnect cables Showing my ignorance here, but if analog audio signals are AC, how is there any directionality at all apart from shielding ground? Showing common sense. IMHO. Wires are not diodes. It doesn't matter which way round they go. Shield ground point ca... | |

| How can I improve my CD sound? FM Stations use compressors and peak limiters to tailor the sound to get the most punch from small radio speakers or headphones. | |
| speaker recommendation 2500 or less small room Energy Veritas 1.8 used - great value. | |
| What makes up an I can't tell you what it is or exactly what it takes - but it is immediately recognizable when you hear it. | |
| Speaker measurements differences These are different speakers. The port tuning looks different to me - you can see this in the impedance/phase plot.Wilson makes a variety of different sounding speakers and this shows that that the same model may vary even from one year to the nex... | |
| PMC MB2 vs Revel Salon 2 vs Dynaudio Sapphires Thanks guys. I look for the one with sweet and clear high, accurate mid and heavy, punchy, clear and detailed bass with authority. I think i will go to audit them soon...IMHO, Heavy and Punchy bass are kind of an oxymoron. Generally heavy bass te... | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? Hi folks, I know this is subject of controversy. In general pure class A has been regarded as the best way in solid state amplification to get the purest sound. In my experience many pure class A solid state amplifiers (Accuphase, Pass Labs, Plin... |
