| damping factor Hi Bombaywall, Of course you are correct that woofer size has nothing to do with damping factor, but not everyone on Agon knows much about it, thats why this section says "learn". I still appreciate Elizabeth giving a very non technical breakdown ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Budt, is the Emerson shelf system your main system or is that in your office? | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Didn't think about it until I read Elevick, I've had 3 Sumo's through the years, they were all warm & faily detailed. Electra or Athena | |

| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? Orpheus10, I'm no tube expert, but I've built a whole bunch of speakers. When you look at impedance charts, you will many time see phase charts also. When you see phase dips, these are going into capacitive loads, when you see phase rise, these ar... | |

MOST tubes if on the right tap have no problems driving lower impedances, but I haven't seem tubes handle speakers that have de... | |
| sibilence....any cures out there? Hi Swampdog... Brother, if you follow all the advice above, you just might find the problem after spending a couple grand... Alot of good advice but varies widely. I would take it a step at a time, looking at cause and effect. Start with positioni... | |

| Musical Fidelity - M1DAC - 192 KHz input problem? DTC, I agree completely about sampling. I have been using an MHZS tubed cd player that has adjustable upsampling, I could clearly hear the difference playing cd's @ 192k. I have since abandonded the cd and have downloaded files to computer and am ... | |
| Musical Fidelity - M1DAC - 192 KHz input problem? Do you know if they even tested beyond 48K to give results up to 96K? I have a hard time hearing up there. | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Hello all, a bit off subject, but in line with the conversation. I have recently switched to computer audio. I'm using foobar. I have noticed that there are basic eq settings within foobar that would send the info to your dac, so the music would b... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Do you feel the need to convince him? Do you win in some way if you do? and what if no matter what you say, he won't admit it? |
