| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Stilljd,I am glad this helped. It is an idea straight from recording engineer Bob Katz and his book on Mastering. The single biggest benefit is that this track gives you a clear idea of just how room modes affect real music. | |
| Ringing amplifier Heat sinks do that. Just brush them with lightly with your hand and you will hear a ringing (brush anything with your hand and you will hear something). Your hearing is extremely sensitive and I doubt you can hear this above even quiet music from ... | |
| Frequency range vs frequency response You may have noticed on the link I gave above that some speakers go lower than others. This does not necessarily make them better. You need to look at off axis response, distortion and impedance load in order to get an idea if a speaker will sound... | |
| Will high price HDMI cable makes a difference? Will the differnece be that great between 19 vs. 100? Unlike analog signals or clock timing signals, there should not be the slightest difference between digital signals if the cables are within tolerance and the bits are getting through. The who... | |
| Frequency range vs frequency response The best is to see a plot of anechoic frequency response in a reputable lab like Canada NRC. Speaker MeasurmentsMost of manufacturers cheat on frequency range specifications (use in room boost or use loose definitions of range). | |
| Law of "increasing returns" Oyaide AC outlet/plug I have gotten a massive upgrade Good for you. I sometimes wish I could get massive improvements from small changes. I am unlucky I guess...usually differences are subtle even on major electronic component changes. | |
| How loud do you listen to your music? Pdn,Your hearing will get worse anyway as you age - so enjoy it while you can. Listening at these levels several times a week for short periods (not more than an hour) is unlikely to be a major problem. Remember the quacks all told us to stop eati... | |
| Good Baritone Sax Recording? Dirty Dozen Brass Band - lots of Baritone Sax from Roger Lewis. | |
| Comparing Revel Studios with VonSchweikert 4SRII Also there is occasional irritating glare. Could be the tube and metal midrange combination I think the VS 4SR11 uses composite pulp mid range, this will be better damped and will be less likely to give you "glare" like a metal mid range. (rigid ... | |
| Behringer DEQ 2496 help Still, I cant seem to get the LEDs very far below the clipping zone.I also dont understand why optical out to optical in would introduce "clipping". I thought power amplifiers "clipped", not source devices? Many modern pop CD's are recorded at -3... | |
| Favorite driving music Just to add to Audiofeil's excellent post...Four Wheel Drive- Bachman Turner OverdriveThe Chauffeur - Duran DuranRed Barchetta - RushLittle Red Corvette - PrinceLife is a Highway - Tom PettyEvery Day is a Winding Road - Sheryl CrowHighway to Hell ... | |
| unobtrusive speaker system? As Tarasound suggests. May be some B&W or Parasound in wall designs. I have B&W in wall speakers all over the house. | |
| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Energy Pro 22 - probably available second hand for about $150. | |
| tubes and analog Glad to see some people standing up to what are gross misleading anti-SS amp blanket statements. I am ashamed to think that some readers (with less scientific backgrounds perusing audiogon) might take some of these blanket statements at face value... | |
| Diagnosing Distortion in PC Based System I have not noticed problems with iTunes. In fact the conversion of Apple ITunes lossy files to a CD Redbook produces remarkably good sound. |
