| 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... | |
| Biwired-Dunlavy V- Bass reduced why? Nilthepill,What are you using to drive the Dunlavys? The change from biwiring is equivalent to a few microhenries, a few pico-farads and a few milli-ohms difference compared to single set of regular cables and binding post jumpers being in the cir... | |
| why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD? You can rip this using a PC or MAC using a variety of software.... it is a little time consuming thats all. I would not regard this as illegal provided you purchased and still own the the original DVD and you are copying it for your own home use a... | |
| alternated method for storing compact discs Marakanetz,I only ever had a problem with scratching CD's in the mega changer once....when I moved house and the CD's got dislodged in transport....when the player was plugged in and tried to run it jammed. I unplugged, took cover off the top (abo... | |
