| Cat damaged speaker, Help Bob, I started to send you a private email but decided to go ahead and post this here for everyone. The best repair is one that will be permanent without adding mass to your cone. Much mass will change your qms. Although I doubt this minimal mass ... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Sorry, I just looked at this thread. I have repaired hundreds of speakers, here is a quick fix. Remove the woofer. Cut a piece of thin fabric to fit in the surround area and cover the slit from the rear of the woofer. Now find some old paint. Care... | |
| Do you understand your amplifier? Hi Cathode, Normally I would completely agree with you, but last weekend, my electrical engineer neighbor asked me how to tell which breaker was bad in his box. I tried to loan him a meter and finally went to his house and showed him. You never know. | |
| Do you understand your amplifier? In General, my answer is yes to solid state. I've built a couple kits, and have modified 2. I understand the diffence between Class A A/B D, different output transistors, power transformers supply caps, yada yada.I can read the basics of a schemat... | |
| Memory playback worse than disk... Why? I also believe JRivers buffer setting to be the problem. I agree that FLAC is not a bad format, but to my old ears, WAV sounds better. You can argue formats all day, but in the end, listen to you're own preference. Mizuno, I switched back to fooba... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved My experience is 100% the same as Steve's. Not all high res recordings are great... The recording is the recording regardless of the resolution factor, but when you get a great recording in hi res.... The results are outstanding.. I find it reward... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Compact Disc are a digital source recorded at 16 bit 44.1khz. I haven't heard too much argument that anyone spending time with SACD will say that it is better than CD... SACD records 24 bit up to 96khz... This quality can easily be maintained in a... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved I truly believe that Cd's will be saved.... on hard drives.Plus you have the ability to try several different dac's to fine tune to your liking. | |
| which output setting sounds best? By the way Bob, I don't know if Cerrot has heard a Music Streamer II +, I haven't but I've read a solid 50 different people say that it is a wonderful bang for the buck DAC... Cerrot, did you hear this or a Music Streamer, Music Streamer Plus, Mus... | |
| which output setting sounds best? Win 7 combined with Wasapi is the proven winner and yes, you'll hear the difference with your HRT... upgrade when you can and for now, enjoy. | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... Hi JohnK & Shadorne, I'm not arguing that there aren't benefits to sensitivity or size and John, I really don't think your opinion is necessarily jaded. You argue your preference. Shadorne, I still think you overstating negativity about the Fo... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? Ralph and Al, After being in and out of this business for 32 years, I don't often learn much new.... I appreciate you guys.Thanks for the education.... again. Tim | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice Hi David,I don't want to totally discourage a preamp, but with 1 source, I really recommend you run your computer to the DAC and straight to the amp. I don't know what server program you are using, but Foobar 2000 has a digital volume built in and... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... Hi JohnK, As a whole I agree with your statements about Large Hi sensitivity speakers, but your statements aren't entirely fair. I'll just take dyns... "You have to sit very close to smaller loudspeakers to reduce this if not music peaks will soun... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... I don't know if you are interested in pro in any way anymore, but a pro company, SLS did a powered monitor that can play in the audiophile arena. I believe it is a PSR-8. I've heard them in a very busy show setting, never critical listening, but I... |
