| Benz Micro Ruby Z I find the lower you go in resistive loading the farther back and smaller the center image. It gets to be very good sounding at 500 ohms or over. I use 1K and it images nicely and sounds very balanced using a PASS LABS XP-25 and VPI classic 3.0 ta... | |
| VPI classic 3.0 Signature anti-skate. Yes, That was re-installed to great effect. | |
| PASS LABS XP-30 I don't like to use equipment as tone controls, the speakers and cartridge are bad enough. I go for as close to getting out of the way of the signal as I can. A circuit can be SLOWER as needed but it can't be FASTER than the applied signal. It doe... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? XP-30 ImpressionsI've been developing the Belden ICONOCLAST TM series of audio cables, and have used a Pass Labs XP-10 almost through the process for it's stunningly good resolution and transparency compared to about anything I threw at it. I was ... | |
| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW The CLX is a very unique product, and one that captures music oh so well. The music should add the "color" and "warmth" to the sound, not the hardware. When we really get the chance to change the hardware for something that is a BIG step in the ri... | |
| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW There seems to be a lot of misinformation on the CLX. I own a set of CLX, AND a set of DynAudio C4's, so don't for a second think that I am unaware of high-end dynamic driver products. - The CLX impedance does indeed drop to the input impedance of... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? JneutronYou seem to be a little too easy to get upset about some things so it's going to be hard to please you. I'll do my best.Zero capacitance? Sure, my perfect conductor example was just that. You can't do anything in that cables example let al... | |

| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Some have asked about ZOBEL networks as we've moved along. Here is a good analysis of what they can do for you;http://sound.westhost.com/cable-z.htmGranted, we don't have a true transmission line with a speaker cable since output, cable and load i... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Go here;http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/debunking-the-myth-of-speaker-cable-resonanceIn reality cables DO NOT resonate at all! The model represented here is single RLC lumped circuit for simplicity and is only accurate at audio frequen... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Jneutron...First however, one clarification on a comment you made earlier, that a vacuum dielectric would have no capacitance. Totally wrong. Capacitance is proportional to epsilon free space times epsilon relative. For a vacuum, epsilon relative ... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Jneutron -How are you calculating impedance at audio to such low levels? The impedance rises rapidly at audio frequencies and is tremendously non linear. A cable can very easily be 600-ohms at 100 Hz, and drop to 50-ohms at 20 Khz with the open sh... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Almarg,Yes, you're input is spot-on. One is a goof, the other is more accurate to the current gradient effect based on skin depth, and the last is I can't count zeros! It would be nice to be able to EDIT as the author to improve accuracy, and make... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? ...The high end has known about wire directionality for at least 10 years; isn't it about time for everyone else to catch up? ...In my opinion, no it isn't. There isn't any proof to catch-up to. Is the "audio" community the only place where sinuso... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Is there a way when an idiot (me) double posts a thread to consolidate it, or kill the weaker (this) thread? |
