| Learned something new today and it isn't good. Please don't ask me to explain this in any more detail as I will already be pushing the limits of my knowledge. Use Google if you want to learn more. Nyquist rate DACs have a zero-hold structure. They are not flat to 20KHz and roll off towards 20... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... You want someone knowledgeable not just opinionated. I have no idea why any sales person would offer an opinion on @mahgister ’s system. Just trying to look like he knows what he is talking about? Run. @ghdprentice perhaps you are placing too m... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear I assume you mean amplifier damping factor? I want to be sure we mean the same thing. For an amplifier, the damping factor is a defined figure referenced to a value of 8 ohms. Unfortunately, there is no requirement to publish it over ... | |
| Improving the Musicality of a Home Theather We have Apple TV, Chromecast, Firestick, and ROKU. The "SQ" of all of them is pretty much equivalent and is going to a factor more of what you plug them into. For movie/TV streaming, all the audio is compressed so any jitter on the HDMI is not rel... | |
| Improving the Musicality of a Home Theather Even cheap HDMI cables can support 4K without too much issue. Maybe not some really old ones. To justify 4K, you really need a big TV, 75"+. At 65" maybe if you sit really close you will notice an improvement. The new OLEDs have blacks every bi... | |
| Bought new, faster RAM and my MHz went down. Help I am not sure of the answer. I am sure this is not the place to find the answer. | |
| Improving the Musicality of a Home Theather What is your Blueray player? If it is an older player, it may be limited to 1080P. If you are sticking with the Elite Plasma, you won't get the benefit of a 4K Blueray player, but if you decide to upgrade to a 75+ inch TV you will. Getting an ext... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I get the impression @donavabdear could write most of that book. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I would challenge you @kota1 to show an example of "cheerleading" into a rushed purchase other than your own posts. You are speeding in that direction from what I see in your recent posts with your collaborator cheering you on, LOL. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear You are correct, but let’s not call it time alignment, as that usually refers to a speaker correction algorithm. More accurate would be delay correction. Then throw in volume correction (and maybe frequency response correction). ATMOS... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused The "theory" is that direct sound is dominant. If you change the listener position w.r.t. the speakers, than you also need to change the delay timings for the speaker which the processor does as well as the levels (and FR to some degree). So wheth... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused A question I have in that regard on my professional system is my mixing position, I do sit much closer to the front left, center, and right speakers as does most every mixer I've ever seen. So my question is the disconnect between the mixing posi... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , @thespeakerdude Great info on the P20s really appreciate it. Also the JL Audio 113 speaker buzz happens with no audio inputs at all. Thanks Well that narrows it down really quick. Sounds like the subs are faulty. Found a f... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear hate to ask a dumb question, but the buzz does go away when you disconnect the audio input to the sub? | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , apologies for not ignoring the man child. I will try better. Had heard a lot about the PS power plants, but never dug very far into them so read a bit and talked to one of my EEs. The PS units are not true isolated regens so that m... |
