| How many pair of speakers do you own? Nilthepill,Now that is real class...all Dunlavy! | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I am surprised by the vehemence of the arguments against surround sound. It is patently obvious that surround can create the ambient sound of a real venue better than two channel. Two channel can add cues using special techniques in the mix but it... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? D_Edwards,I am not sure if surround is currently better than two channel for music but I don't doubt it will eventually surpass. I think the engineers are not all able to put out consistent stuff for music at the moment. Multi-channel should give ... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Undertow,The more harmonics in music the less sensitive it will be to room modes (if you excite several modes at once an uneven response at a particular frequency becomes less obtrusive). An instrument without harmonics is not much use....it won't... | |
| Massive entertainment center replacement ideas? Mdhoover,I see no issues with what you have....edge diffraction can become a problem with anything too close to the speakers but that does not appear to be your case.If you don't plan on ever moving, are getting rid of Gladys anyway, and are prepa... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Pauly,I never said that all new approaches are better than the old. In fact, I never said which approach was better. I certainly never said film is worse than digital camera. Actually, I was just trying to say that a new approach versus an old app... | |
| Two Subs Vs. One I agree with Eldartford when at very close range and at higher SPL levels. I find I become aware of the general direction of a sub when I am within about four feet of it in 25 foot room (very close range and the lower the cut off the closer I need... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? In general, the proposition that "digital is better than analog" or viceversa remains undecidable. Exactly, both are great but unfortunately one still has a future ahead of it whilst the other has its best days behind it. No doubt the analog part... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? How can you guys forget Roger Nichols that engineered Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly"... I think Bob Ludwig, in my original list, did the mastering on Nightfly...I just couldn't list everyone, I guess.George Martin is a good suggestion....did much ... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Such an emotive subject. An old versus a new approach. I catch myself sometimes saying to the kids, "Well, in my day, things were much better..." but things do move on, and the kids just roll their eyes...VHS versus DVD. Carburetors versus electro... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? Lets not forget the guys at the console and responsible for the technical quality in what we hear. Here a few of the greats;Doug SaxGeorge MassenburgBob KatzAlan ParsonsBob LudwigDavid LordQuincy JonesJack RennerChuck AinlayJames Guthrie | |
| Questions Re: Time & Phase Alignment Ears are roughly 6 inches apart....a lot of phase correction is done when the brain combines both signals....so don't get too hung up on this issue alone, especially above 2Khz where our ears will quite likely get out of phase sound at certain spe... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? Are we listening to the same LP? The Borg? Wow. I accept Nightfly is a milestone recording along with DSOTM, Roxy Music Avalon and other great recordings out there. Musically it is great too...great piano, great vocals and great melodies. My beef... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? How can something be excessively perfect? Maybe it's like over abundant or past history.I suspect the human element is lost or reduced when something becomes so perfect that every drum beat is identical. Sometimes it is the little imperfections o... | |
| An ignorant question about impedance Linearity is best preserved with low output impedance and high input impedance over the audible frequency range. The impact of interconnects, speaker cables and speaker impedance variation with frequency should all be minimized in this case. 10 to... |
