| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND derrickengineer OP25 posts07-30-2016 3:21pm My point is they BOTH sound great in my two examples of amplifiers having the opposite end of THD specs.. Arnet you the guy ( asstrophysisist )selling those wacky trinkets to fool the mind into thinkin... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND One of the best amplifiers Kondo Audio Note $150k Kagura has 5% THD I'm on the same track as erik_squires & when Almarg & Atmasphere see this thread I believe he will also be on this track. In fact all 3 of us have written very similar t... | |
| MQA - One Filter to Rule them All? According to what I read online, yes, Mytek did in fact submit the DAC’s for approval, or measurement or whatever. I’m not sure how it works, or what exactly they must measure. It sounds like a pain in the butt honestly. I doubt every applican... | |
| MQA - One Filter to Rule them All? You are right, of course, all of the current models of the Mytek DAC’s have MQA support, interesting. So, Mytek did submit their designs to Meridian & get their seal of approval for MQA. Do you know if Mytek is paying royalty fees to Meridian ... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? Two tube power amp designers/builders who say yes are Tim de Paravicini (EAR-Yoshino) and Roger Modjeski (Music Reference). Roger will personally hand wind you one for $1,000. Tim says he can tell you how an amp reproduces bass by looking at the t... | |
| DEQX Beginner seeking advice make sure you guys read this long thread "Is DEQX a game changer" https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/is-deqx-a-game-changer we've discussed many of the questions you are asking in this thread.....thanks. | |
| DALI MEGALINE AMPS & CROSSOVER ptheo,i am an Apogee user myself (Scintilla 1-ohm version. love this speaker & haven't considered life after Scintilla....)One thing you could do is contact Agon member "albertporter". he used to own the very same Dali you have & you can a... | |
| Newby Q about impedances etc. I beg to differ a bit....the Confidence C1 are spec'd at 85dB/2.83V/1m, 4 Ohms.so. really that's 2W into the speaker once you do the math. To normalize that to another 8 Ohm speaker, we will have to half the input power (down to 1W). This means th... | |
| Opinions please on integrated for green mountain europas tsugury,excellent choice for your speaker! :-) I’m a big fan of Green Mtn Audio’s time-coherent speakers. Used to own the C1.5i floor stander before i moved to ribbon speakers.The Europa is an easy load so you could get some fine sounds from even ... | |
| ???Why The HUGE Discrepancy in Sensitivity Ratings??? What bugs the crap out of me is that amplifier manufacturers used to do the same thing with power ratings.I don't know how this was changed but IMO it's high time the same pressure was brought to bear on speaker mans.to provide honest & ac... | |
| Comments on new B&W 800 D3 hilarious post bcgator!! :-D | |
| Strange Oscillation falconquest,an addition to my orig post keeping in mind Almarg's point #1 - if you can get a hold of a CD mat that experiment might also be useful. CD mats are often used to dampen vibration, squelch laser reflections & generally aid in produc... | |
| ???Why The HUGE Discrepancy in Sensitivity Ratings??? thanks for the kind words nonoise :-) | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? i believe nonoise alluded to this - the relationship between a manuf & one of the review magazines is convoluted at best. It’s based on scratching each other’s back - you give me a good review & I’ll let you keep the device or sell it to y... | |
| Strange Oscillation falconquest,all good suggestions by other A'gon members. Here's another thing to try - use a black Sharpie to paint the outer rim of the CD (similar concept to using a Stoplight pen). I've done this to some of my favourite music CDs. Since the bla... |
