| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? I've read though the post... The op says "All things being equal" no debate on horns vs planars... Two identical horns, playing exact frequency curves, playing exact impedance & phase curves, playing the exact music... Or two exact matching pl... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? I haven't read all of these post, so it might have been answered...The answer to the exact question is yes.... In theory. If all things are totally equal except for sensitivity, the two speakers will sound identical except in the area of dynamics.... | |
| Caps upgrade in the NAF amplifier I agree with Marakanetz, make sure you use solder wick or such to remove solder cleanly, most likely from the rear. As far as the Caps, both are very good. They sound a bit different. The VCaps have a more refined edge, where the Mundorf silver &a... | |
| DAC Noob - seeking suggestions Sorry, I saw the response in front of mine dated today, didn't notice this is a 3 1/2 year old question. . | |
| DAC Noob - seeking suggestions If you are going to use USB out of the computer, I would suggest a Musiland Monitor 02US. Through USB this will handle any signal @ 16 or 24 bit with resolution all the way through 192K. Be aware, this unit will not work with MAC and is reported t... | |
| 5 legendary speakers? I haven't seen Spica TC-50 mentioned | |
| Bowers & Wilkins - B&W I'd like to apologize to Blackmsport and to industry people on this forum. It seems that Blackmsport understood me to say that I would get him a discount from B&W. I don't know anyone at B&W and As most of you know, to get a discount, you ... | |
| Sanders Sound preamp vs. Innersound? I know nothing of anything new coming from Roger, but up to at least very recentyly, he paid Coda for their technology and built his own goods using Coda boards and chassis. If you call Doug Dale at Coda, he will give you age and model comparisons... | |
| What will be the data storage method of the future So does solid state or tubed storage sound better? Sorry, I couldn't resist | |
| damping factor Sorry guys, had family over last night, just picked up on the thread. Here is my attempt to explain Q in easy terms. A driver has 3 Q ratings, QMS, QES and QTS.QMS is a drivers Quality Mechanical Speaker... It is the mechanical resistance that par... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp I just remembered this and am attaching some cut outs of a review: Spread Sprectrum Technologies... Ambrosia....Metaphorically speaking, a preamplifier is the spark plug of an audio system. It has the potential to jump-start the audio signal and s... | |
| damping factor Hi Bombaywall, Of course you are correct that woofer size has nothing to do with damping factor, but not everyone on Agon knows much about it, thats why this section says "learn". I still appreciate Elizabeth giving a very non technical breakdown ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Budt, is the Emerson shelf system your main system or is that in your office? | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Didn't think about it until I read Elevick, I've had 3 Sumo's through the years, they were all warm & faily detailed. Electra or Athena | |
| damping factor I usually don't like talking specs, just because of issues like this... Think about how much damping factor measurements can change depending on where you measure from. What if you measure at the output, what if you measure at the speaker? How can... |
