| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? I had a quick look at the SB16 specifications. From what I can see it can do some basic manual equalization, but it does not measure response, let alone correct it automatically - but correct me if I am wrong. Beyond that, I think is is an enviabl... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? As for DSP in subwoofers, it is used for two things and it is important to distinguish them.1 As a means to shape the frequency response (boost the lowest frequencies), and as a way to manage the demands put on amplifier and drive unit. Mostly, th... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless integration with REL sub Congratulations. The purpose of a high pass filter is to cut the low frequencies being reproduced by the main speakers. Since the low frequencies pose the biggest demand on both speakers and power amplifier, you make life rather easier for them if... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) Well I did leave vinyl behing ages ago. | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma Montaldo, thanks for your friendly response. My aim is what Peter Walker once called 'the closest approach to the original sound'. There are many problems with that, and the two biggest ones are the recording and mastering on the one hand, and the... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) I think I agree with cleeds here. I am sure there are some neurotics 'upgrading' continuously, but there are also many like me who keep much of their gear for years or even decades. Numbers would be hard to come by, but my hunch would be that the ... | |
| Recapping your amp As with timing belt, replace before it goes. A failed power supply capacitor can blow up a speaker, and a leaking one can mess up the amplifier’s board. Before that, you will have lost some dynamics, of course. | |
| Back to stereo and a minimal function home processor/preamp I just use the digital PCM output of my BD Player or televison into a stereo audio system. | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma You made me curious, of course, so I did a quick online test (not the equivalent of a more serious test, of course): I could easily hear 13 kHz, which is apparently pretty good for a male in his early sixties, although it reminds you of your physi... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma How old are you? | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma Poor Ocham to be so abused. | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) Yes more emotion, please. The more the better. | |
| Recapping your amp Sounds like you are indeed close to that timing belt failure moment. | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? Have you guys been taking crystal meths? Seriously, next time we discuss occult powers. | |
| Is my Amp OK? There is no gain mismatch between the DAC and the power amp (both red book standard). |
