| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time From @lewm ’s post above Excuse me, but wasn’t it Tiefenbrun’s (Linn’s) point that turntables create PRAT, not cartridges or anything else in the signal path. So does this mean digital music does not have any PRAT? Mine does! bags of it, b... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @mawe - There appears to be some interesting articles on the web on this topic some say yes - all three have to be the same size some say the neutral can be bigger than the Live wire but definitely NOT the other way around some say th... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @dbass - here’s what I am using at present Interconencts: 2 x 18 gauge solid UP-OCC copper for signal and 1 x 16 gauge solid UP-OCC copper neutral conductor Some prefer 2 x 16 gauge for the neutral Speaker cables 2 ... | |
| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer Speakers can have very different sound "signatures" e,g, some might sound natural some might sound "boxy" some might sound "dull" some sound "lively" That type of difference cannot be rectified with an equalizer If one speaker is brighter... | |
| Use of a super tweeter worth the investement ? @audiosens - if you are 17 - you might be able to hear a difference - the question then is - is it an improvement??? Tannoy recommends them, but then they are selling them Regards - Steve | |
| Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout @klappertjedundas - what are the dimensions of your room? How far are the speakers from the wall (behind the speakers) How far away from the listening position is the wall behind the listening position RE: your statement - Cables not, that is... | |
| Would my system benefit from cable upgrades? @jay73 - So I am wondering if my system may benefit from Cable Upgrades. The short answer is YES! But also wondering if it would really be a benefit to my system or would I need to upgrade to much better components for cables to matter? T... | |
| XLR cables for component connections, or from preamp to powered subwoofer @hz79hc - For components, take a look at Zavfino products that use OCC copper as a minimum e.g. The Fusion - Solid Pure Silver & OCC Copper - ZavfinoUSA - these would provide stunning dynamic performance - but they only come in 1.5 meter a... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz re: All I know for sure is that the specs which are rated in terms of “per foot” or “per meter”, seem to favour using monoblocks close to the speaker. That is certainly correct for cables that use more commonly adopted cable geometries... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz let’s start with About 11-12% of the time the mains voltage is too low to pulse any current into the power supply (Assuming that the rail is at ~28V). The only point in time where electrical energy does NOT flow is at that point in time... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz - lets start be looking at the process at different points in the audio system At the speaker the power required to satisfy the volume level selected has two components - voltage, and the current drawn, which is a product of the speaker... | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? Contact Jeff at Audiomods - he made a mounting plate for the arm a friend of mine ordered from him for a similar turntable His arms are spectacular as well Regards | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @mbolek - a really simple cable geometry that also performs very well, uses a Ribbon geometry Two Teflon tubes held apart using some sort of tape the brown paper tape used for parcels is quite good The tubes should be spaced at least... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @johnnycamp5 - I hope the following provides answers to your questions I always wondered about the improvements from cables but never (not yet) went down that road. My biggest unanswered questions are on “power cables” Are these more like a ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @ozzy - that could be due to the insulation - larger wires have thicker insulation the greater the amount of insulation the greater the dielectric impact resulting in distortion also larger wires have a larger surface area - again exacerbat... |
