| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. The sampling rate of lacquer/metal/vinyl is the number of polymer molecules flying past the stylus at the outer edge, ~15 ips, to ~ 8 ips at the inner part of the groove. This is what limits the resolution of the physical wave form on the lacquer/... | |
| No right channel in new cartridge +1 NEVER buy a used cartridge. Totally agree with you ebm. | |
| Electrostatic Speakers But wait. Why did these supposedly reknowned speakers fail? Is this a fundamental design flaw or...? | |

| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! I use a pair of Wharfedale 80th Anniversary Dentons for low level classical listening in my bedroom at night and these sound as if there is full bandwidth at sub 50 dB SPLs. Save yourself some bux and try a pair. They are a great value for low lev... | |
| I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated For 70's era, you can't beat a Marantz receiver, though you might want to recap it via a kit. Also, consider NAD as another option; they make excellent sounding integrateds, especially the BEE series. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification The title of the thread is The Future Of Audio Amplification.The future is here now. It includes efficient toplogies that waste little energy as heat to drive loudspeakers. The future may improve from the current 85% to 95% or higher, but will cer... | |
| Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen! "Nobody building heavy class A is feeling any pinch or worry about class D."What a dodo egg-drop that was. Keep the dream alive. | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. @mahler "who cares if the cutting head has to make a continuous path, if the the information contained in that path is from a discontnous waveform?"Obviously, you don't get it. As I said, it also applies to every tympanic membrane responding to pr... | |

| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. "In the real world of our listening rooms, not theory, vinyl doesn’t always sound better than digital and vice versa. It’s a matter of a combination of specific recordings, systems and people."Amen. | |
| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years teo-audio: you indicated in your OT:Study suggests shamans acted as the first professional class in human society The first professional class, i.e., professionals providing specific services, is not the same thing as professionalism, which is the... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need b4icu: "They also asked me if you worked for NASA at the time the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster (January 28, 1986)? That could explain a lot…"I read that and my heart sickened. What kind of negative insinuation is that on Geoff? That’s just sa... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. "So if they prefer lps made from corrupt digital discontnous sampled waveforms, that preference must be based upon something completely unrelated to that waveform."The cutting head stylus cannot magically appear at the extreme displacement in one ... | |
