| musical drummers...who are they ??? I am always on the hunt for new great drummers, as rhythm has such a profound effect on my enjoyment of music. Well I found one.Keith Harris. He is not famous enough to be in drum roll yet but I suspect he is well on his way to becoming one of the... | |
| do blind tests have any practical significance In medicine and in science in general the ONLY kind of test considered reliable is a double-blind test. Should listening tests of audio equipment be different? Perhaps it should because the "data" is completely subjective. But this means that the... | |
| Anyone ever hear Meyer Sound X-10 speakers? Meyer are experts at sound reinforcement (i.e. very very loud). I have never heard these but Angel Studios has a 5.1 set installed in one of their three studios...I'd bet they blow the socks off almost anything else! Better not to have neighbors! LOL | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? and by driving the input harder the gain following can be less, so that one bit AT THE SPEAKER is a smaller voltage.I notice much greater improvement by this adjustment of gains than with ceramic outlet covers I don't question that you hear an im... | |
| earthquake subs Assuming there is no room acoustics problems then perhaps the Totem Ones, although great speakers, are just too small and not dynamic enough...I suspect they are in compression long before the two 15" subs would. This means it will be hard to get ... | |
| Stockfisch Records If only reviewers started to publish "compression" or "loudness" ratings as part of a CD reviews.See this article Loud CD'sand thisHow To Make Better RecordingsThese articles give insight into why many people are finding CD's to be very fatiguing ... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Shadorne...How many bits you need depends on the size of the bits I think you will find that the quantization levels in D to A and A to D converters are fixed.16-bit A/D conversion has 2^16 discrete numbers, or 65,536 quantization levels in the f... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Eldartford, I noticed that the input signal level, displayed by a string of LEDs, never got even half way up, meaning that only the lower bits of the A/D were being used.Now I am utilizing all the bits I paid for. In my subjective opinion, it soun... | |
| Stockfisch Records With a large band it is more difficult to notice a bad recording. I am not sure I agree but I do admit that the Sara K album from Stockfisch is beautifully recorded...In fact there are some small labels that do record some good stuff....Steve Fer... | |
| Why does Kimber use two wires for ground Normally an RCA connector has a central wire (positive) and a shield (Ground).An RCA shield most often consists of either a foil wrap or many wires braided together.In the case you are referring to, I suspect that the braiding of three wires toget... | |
| Unpredictable digital problems with movies? Weird...might it be pirated DVD'S? - some pirated material from market/street sellers is very hard to tell from real thing (when looking at the package)? | |
| Stockfisch Records I have the Sara K CD sponsored by a well known speaker manufacturer. The lack of compression is welcome.I am not a huge fan of her but the recording is excellent.I am interested if Stockfisch have done more complex recordings that are equally exce... | |
| Morph The Cat-Bass Notes It is very hard to audition/test bass...it is so room dependent (as natural instruments with ultra LF have bass notes with long duration and therefore fully excite room modes)...is it a room mode or the speaker?Good transients are probabaly the on... | |
| Bare naked or...? Can anyone tell me if really terminations can effect sound quality a lot? As long as the contact resitance is low then no...not at audio frequencies.Of course, a but a bad contact can be a problem. A loose wire or a loose pin in a socket can also... | |
| Can room treatment improve bass accuracy? I'll just add this note I made on another thread before you think a TACT can do everything for you (in reality you need a TACT or PEQ as well as acoustic treatment)You will find that a parametric equalizer is ineffective above about 80Hz for stand... |
