| The importance and effect to and above 20kHz... I am not aware of any evidence that frequencies beyond audibility (around 15 KHz for most of us) have any relevance at all. The basilar membrane is a band limited device and can't resonate enough above 20 KHz to generate any neural discharges to t... | |
| Best Powered Monitors All three of your choices are good. More analytical or clinical is a good description...you will find less flavor from pro gear and generally more dynamics - it just tries to reproduce what is on the source as accurately as possible. There will be... | |
| Warmest speaker? The heat sink fins on my speakers get pretty warm ;-) | |
| Crank it up just once Dammit Jax2, it's a Krell not a Klingon! | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Lots of hand wringing and nitpicking over a listening session, IMO. Agreed but the shootout suggests large and earth shaking differences in performance from several extremely expensive and extremely high quality players....to me this is at comple... | |
| Best Concert Film Black Eyed Peas "Live from Sydney to Vegas". Superb recording and superb editing of the video. The tracks from Sydney are the best recordings of a concert I have heard so far. If you want a concert that really takes you there with audiophile sound... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players The fact that there were audible differences in such high quality players is really scary. It begs the question as to which player was correct? They can't all be right. One has to be in closest conformance to what is on the CD (which sounds nicest... | |
| Crank it up just once Go for it but be careful! You will hear much more detail when you play louder as the dynamic range expands above the noise floor of your listening environment.Volume control setting is meaningless, as the volume dial is all relative - some music w... | |
| Measuring speakers. Try a google on EQ Room Wizard.Note that when you play a test tone from a CD with a simple Rat Shack meter then the meter is seeing all the energy including harmonic distortion effects...a spectrum analyzer will allow you to see harmonic distortio... | |
| What should I upgrade -- speakers or amp? Speakers | |
| Best sounding cd in your collection JENNIFER WARNES "THE WELL" SACD/HYBRID CISCO 2034 George Masenburg, Elliot Sheiner & Bernie Grundman are the mix/mastering engineers involved...no wonder it sounds so darn good! | |
| problems with 24 bit cd players i have auditioned a number of them and something is wrong. i perceive a dip in the 100 to 200hz region and a slight peak in the upper mids/lower treble region. What is your reference? Have you made calibrated microphone tests of what is wrong? is... | |
| Five Monoblocks vs. One 5-Channel Amp Provided the channel separation and power supplies are equivalently good then, as far as the sound goes, it makes really no difference monoblock or 5 channels.... | |
| Transparency: What speakers have it in spades? Great speakers. Dunno what you mean by transparency but a bigger three way will definitely allow you to hear much more...if that is what you are looking for. The reason are two fold; Experiments show that the ear can hear a maxium of 120 db of dyn... | |
| MTM vs TM ... advantages/disadvantages ? Two mids driving the same frequencies will have an interference pattern. The response will be greatest when the ear is at the horizontal level of the tweeter (mid point). The off axis response (ear position above or below the mid point) will have ... |
