| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Also, I read your white paper Roger. There is not a single element of circuit theory presented, or is there any citation of the work of many who have explored time domain distortion.Got clothes? | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Ok, so what are you going to do, slow down the propogation of an electrical audio signal to 750 mph? That in and of itself, if achievable, and I doubt it, would time distort the signal even further in the electrical domain. And, I challenge that a... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I read this entire thread, oh boy.From the peanut gallery, all recording systems have inertia. Inertia will always distort the time domain relative to the original input. You can’t get away from this. It is a physical property that is built into s... | |
| Cartridge Advice Please Just got and installed a new Nagoaka MP150. I have several other cartridges by Audio Technica (440mla and 440mlb), Grado (Prestige black, gold and Reference Sonata II), Nagoaka (MP110), Shure (M97xe, V15iv), Ortofon (2M Black), Stanton (881S) and ... | |
| Anyone using an Okki Nokki? Had a VPI 16.5 that I purchased new for years and it was a great machine. Gave it to a fellow vinylholic audiobud and purchased the ON a few months ago. It works well, does a great job cleaning, is quieter and I am overall happy with it, albeit w... | |
| Led Zeppelin II The now hard-to-find Classic Records version sounds great and has excellent bass and drum punch. | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac PS Audio PWT. I've owned one for four years now and it is by far the best CD playback I've heard (I2S through my Wyred 4 Sound DAC2SE). | |
| Manley 300B or Manley Steelhead Skipjack (cassette, reel to reel, DAC for both CD transport and MacBook), Steelhead (TT with MM carts) and Neo 250 mono blocks. The finest system I have ever had by far and my final stop on the slippery slope. I feel zero inclination to make a cha... | |
| Stylus force digital scales All physically true, but, does it matter? The optimal VTF for any given cartridge is an unknown. We could try to measure by incremental adjustments while taking measurements, but the results would always be a range that is dependent on the accurac... | |
| It's European invasion Geof, just making sure you understand that if Werner Von Braun was a dedicated, political and practicing Nazi, he wouldn’t have had the time or the passion to be the amazing rocket physicist and engineer he was. The most brilliant minds don’t nece... | |
| Looking for a new dac-need opinions from the community I too have an upgraded Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 SE with the femtoclock. With a PS Audio transport connected via I2S this is the closest I have yet heard to an analog source. | |
| Moving the Soundstage; Help. lowrider,You might experiment with absorption but recall that diffusion can be just as important to tune the room properly. I am a big fan of Auralex' products, both for diffusion and absorption | |
| Moving the Soundstage; Help. Gosh, I would be thrilled with those results if I were you. Have you checked your SPL at your typical volume settings? Maybe now you can turn it down a smidge and now adjust volume to bring the forward/back depth to where it used to be because no... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB We also need to take into account the output impedance at the rated power. depending on the speaker load, a 100 W amp might play louder if it has a lower output impedance than the 300 W amp, especially if powering a nominally low impedance speaker. | |
| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? Several mis-loads today...Russia? |
