| MultiChannel too complicated for most... I won't be baited into this [MC] fiascoA fiasco? 2-channel, vinyl and tubes rule. Of course they do. | |
| amplifier DB meters Bob,Are you saying that you have a bank of 8 drivers wired in parallel or in series? | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... Tbg and Jmcgrogan,I agree that multi-channel music often leaves a lot to be desired. Concert DVD's are often a mixed bag. However many of todays compressed CD's leave a lot to be desired too...so not all recordings are great, even in stereo.IMHO, ... | |
| Balanced in and balance out inverted ? puzzle Some UK gear is done differently from US convention - it doesn't matter as this is just phase inverted. | |
| SPL Meter & SPL Calculator website -Techie Query Roughly speaking I would say a maximum average of about 90 db SPL (leaving 10 db of headroom). A lot will depend on the source music and speaker design and its inherent dynamic range as to whether the sytem will run out of head room or not. Most l... | |
| Zu Druid questions Casouza, thanks so much for this informative post. I could care less about measurments, only the sound. Jack,Exceptional speakers do not need to be reasonably flat with wide dispersion to sound good. You are right to care only about the sound. Le... | |
| SPL Meter & SPL Calculator website -Techie Query When I say can I go to 100, I mean MAX reading of 100 with average about say 88-90 db on the SPL meter. Trust your ears not the meter or calculations - if it sounds uncomfortably loud at 90 db SPL (average) then you already have loads of distorti... | |
| combining different cables IMHO the need to use "ONLY" the same brand of IC's and cables is a myth circulated by manufacturers and salesmen. I agree fully. This is also not the "ONLY" myth associated with IC's, Cables and power cords....there are many more. Why are these m... | |
| SPL Meter & SPL Calculator website -Techie Query My question is, based on the results of the calculator am I to assume that I would be okay when it comes to clipping at my listening level threshold and that my speakers/amp were not clipping today at the 90-95 (max reading) of SPL db? Clipping i... | |
| amplifier DB meters When my system is playing and I only ever see 4 watts on the meter with the loudest peak, I can figure that the amp is using more watts, than the meter is reading, but how much more? 4 watts metered power (referenced to an 8 Ohm load) is;1) is ac... | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? Try bicycles,go outside ride around, each time you go out to ride it's a bit different,you will get the upgrade bug, but it's far cheaper than audio. you also get some exercise Yes and things sound better after a beer or a glass of wine...the bes... | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? I am no longer afraid.There are so many different sounds and colorations out there that it is impossible to stop unless you are prepared to accept a reference. I chose what many of the experts in making studio recordings choose. It is more than go... | |
| Do high level sub inputs really sound better? Huh? Low level XLR cables are fine even for long runs. | |
| Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch? You should look at horns. For example Klispch RF-83. Make sure you audtion - horns are not everyone's taste but they will give you efficiency. | |
| Counterfeit Audio? Suppose you know that a certain cable has fake amazing electrical properties and you buy this fake cable from a source that you know only sells fake products.My question is whether the cable you receive is a actually fake or not?....apologies to M... |
