| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Cables are suspended in electrical power lines because they are not insulated. Air is the insulator. They use high voltages which tend to breakdown insulation jackets and the whole approach is just cheaper than more costly cables for long distance... | |
| cd player with balanced outputs You could go with a DAC and a Sony Mega changer. That is what I do. my DSP has one of those upsampling 192KHz DACs with all the bells and whistles. I just feed the megachanger toslink to the DSP in my case. I don't have great ears though and I can... | |
| Good match for Anthem AVM 30 I like Bryston. All your suggestions are good options - are you planning to use all XLR - in which case you should get a power amp that has XLR inputs. | |
| Downgrading... Is it possible??? Suggestions You have such awesome gear it will be very tough to downgrade, IMHO. If you don't spend time in the sweetspot then something with wide dispersion or omnidirectional is in order - hard to say without any pics of your setup. | |
| Anyone going Phantom Center Channel? Yep - me too - if your speakers image well then no problem at all - it will actually sound better than having a center on the floor or above the TV as you won't mess up the image from the mid/treble frequencies from your mains, which will be at to... | |
| Just how big is that driver? For cone drivers, size may be the outside diameter of the frame, the diameter of the surround, or the diameter of the cone. | |
| Audiophile systems of awe. When if ever did you hear a setup that defied the laws of physics in sound reproduction.Me never but others do - all the time... | |
| Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC not a big gripe I suppose If you look at the plot the woofer breakup is only 10 db down...this should have been eq'd out more aggressively. I would be very wary of that...it looks as if it will be audible. I haven't heard them so I can't say for s... | |
| Source or speaker Clearly, we hear differently. I hear major differences between one room and another, one concert hall and another....others don't.I hear major differences between one speaker and another....others don't.I hear only subtle differences between digit... | |
| Source or speaker From just a distortion perspective, speakers do several orders of magnitude more damage to the signal that decent electronics. Factor in room interaction and it's a no- brainer where the emphasis needs to be. I quite agree - it is a no brainer re... | |
| Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC With regard to Dali, they have dual tweeter - soft dome for the lower high's and ribbon for the range above that, SO perhaps that solves the distortion issue. It most certainly would - it might explain why they went with that design approach. | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? With improved cleaners, as for the painting of the outer edge, I found little benefit, which again suggests that it is not disc wobble. That would make it harder to explain. The reflections then would need to be enough for the CD player to resort... | |
| High power amplifier and small speakers?? As a general rule could one say that sound quality is diminished by using a powerful amplifier (150 w/ch into 8ohms) with small speakers (high sensitivity)? No you can't generalize - this NOT a general rule. A powerful amp can be good. A low powe... | |
| best of both worlds can u get a musical multi amp? There is no reason it can't sound as good. This is just another "audio myth".Sure a multichannel integrated with 5 channels that costs the same as a monoblock single channel power amp is quite unlikley to out perform the power amplification prowes... | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player Here is a guy who gets booed every game. We love to hate our bullies. |
