| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Still waiting on your amazing wisdom about bass @kota1. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , I am mainly standing on the shoulders of others answering that. That is deep into psychoacoustics. From a basics, 20-160Hz is 3 octaves, so perceptually nearly as wide as 160-1.2KHz, though we don’t hear well down at 20Hz, however,... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue @atmasphere ours will all cover 47-63Hz, and the 90-290V we need for validation and reliability testing. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @o_holter I just searched a measurement of the MA-1 amp and the figure they arrived at was 10.5 ohms output resistance. There are very few speakers that will not experience a huge change in their output frequency response with this amp. You have b... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I spend enough time arguing with people who know what they are talking about @donavabdear . I don't have much time for those that don't. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused If you are "all that" give me links to what you have PUBLISHED in peer reviewed journals, Sure, right after you give me links to all the peer reviewed articles you have published in your field. Storyk is an AES Fellow. You can see his publicat... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused BTW, you know who has a GREAT chapter in their book on the topic? Both Earl Geddes and Tomlinson Holman. There are probably few books on speakers and acoustics I have not read over the last 20 years and I would not be surprised if not over 500 ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Before being flippant with people's names like John Storyk, you may want to do a little research to understand who he is. He is not just another "studio" designer, he is probably "the" studio designer. There are not that many known designers, Suff... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused You are still very new to the hobby. If you like this type of research check out ASR, you will find many adherents there. There are very few on the ASR forums, in my experience, that are highly experienced in acoustics and psychoacoustics. I h... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , We are not talking about different things. Not sure how many pages you need to go back, but I addressed this. DSP is to fix minor issues once you have everything correct already. You cannot fix the room response with DSP without... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused The predominant preference is a flat on axis frequency response and a downwards sloping room response. Some of the art of acoustics and absolutely science is ensuring you can do both. Pull back the curtain and it is not so much we prefer a downwa... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I think you can make almost any room sound good, but not if you have already picked the speakers. Some speakers will be near impossible in some rooms. It's the science of acoustics that makes that possible. The art part is appealing to likes and d... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused When we looked at WiFi modules, the cheapest were <$2.00 those were chip antenna based. The module we eventually settled on was still < $10 but allows an external antenna. Software extensions allow microsecond level synchronization between s... | |
| Learned something new today and it isn't good. This has nothing to do with noise or noise reduction. Why does that keep getting repeated?? It was a necessary step to deal with the natural operation of early DACs. One of my colleagues sent this. It is not light reading but the concept seems e... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue @atmasphere , is this Elgar thing you mention also called an AC power supply? I signed quite a few requisitions for AC power supplies for the EE lab and reliability lab. Keysight was one of the brands we bought. I cannot remember the other. We wer... |
