| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... I gather from this thread that if Digital sounds as good as Analog, then the Analog system must have a problem. (Analog inherently should sound better...only a lot more expensive right?) Perhaps my analog system in 1985 was not very good when I ma... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR IV While I agree that many (perhaps most) consumer speakers sound compressed especially at high levels (horns are much better in this regard). I am not sure you necessarily have to go to a horn speaker design to create the SPL levels and dynamic rang... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR IV A nice upgrade. However, you might also consider a higher model PMC with a bigger woofer. It really depends on what you dislike about the OB1's? (Value for money the OB1 is quite hard to beat in its price range.) My suggestion would be to audition... | |
| Music out there with good bass Prodigy - Fire StarterCollective Soul - HeavyLorin Maazel and Cleveland Orchestra - Shostakovich Fifth (especially the end with the kettle drums)Eric Kunzel - Jurrasic Lunch, Batman, TerminatorPolice - Murder by Numbers | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? Kthomas,You are right! It may indeed be time to consider the hardrive option... a new project...fun! | |
| Biwired-Dunlavy V- Bass reduced why? You have outstanding speakers and an oustanding amplifier...it was a mystery indeed that this high quality equipment should be so affected by a change of cable. Well designed equipment should be robust and tolerant of such slight changes as the di... | |
| why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD? Tvad,Fundamentaly I agree - there are lots of "excuses" for illegal copying - archival seems like one (given CD's durability). Yet there are good practical reasons to want to copy some material. For example, a handful of burned CD's with selected ... | |
| Speakers for metal, hard rock ... also SS amp I assume you want something that can play loud. IMHO most two ways will fall apart if you try to achieve rock concert sound levels. Designs with multiple small (6" drivers) and tuned reflex ports can sometimes compete, however, I find the bass sou... | |
| 1st, most memorable recording... George Formby old 78 ..."When I go cleaning windows" and "Hang down your head Tom Dooley" (can't remember the artist). Lonnie Doneegan "My Old Man's a Dustman" was fun too! | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... Welcome to the club. I gave up on vinyl in 1985. I never bought another LP. | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers Jeff,Thanks I managed to get the first link ( even though it was a little garbled on the thread )In case anyone else is following this, it should readhttp://www.essex.ac.uk/ese/research/audio_lab/malcolmspubdocs/G3%20HFN%20Essex_Echo_(cables_1985)... | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers Jeff,Can you point me to a specific paper as there are more than thirty listed at the URL you gave.I agree wholeheartedly that all these concepts are in engineering textbooks, at least they were twenty years ago. I am not questioning any of these ... | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? I think you can easily have both. Digital technology and SS electronics have brought us both excellent sound quality and convenience.I do not miss hours spent cleaning LP's with cleaning fluids and static brushes...not one tincy wincy little bit. ... | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers Briefly, binding posts are one of the worst offenders in terms of audio degradation (thick metal and its affect on the electromagnetic wave as a waveguide). Having studied power transmission lines, EM radiation, waveguides and electronics, I woul... | |
| Biwired-Dunlavy V- Bass reduced why? The Classe CA-400 with low output impedance/high damping factor (over 100 I would expect) should have no problem. It should sound great with either of your configurations.It should not make a huge difference as you report (I trust Dunlavy's belief... |
