| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Thank you Albert for the detailed info.Reading it I notice that "Hospital Grade" means it has certain characteristics, like tolerance of "Abrupt removal" (yank the wire) which are probably important in the Hospital environment, but which IMHO are ... | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. CORRECTION...The UcD module is self-oscillating (like the ICE module) at 412 KHz (not 44KHz). When I wrote it I really couldn't believe that 44KHz would work. | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? DIY speaker building can be successful without knowing a lot about design if you stick to cloning existing speakers that you like. An individual can do this for himself without fear of a law suit. | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? Is this a new game..."outing" speaker manufacturers regarding the common drivers they use? Gmood1 has it right. If you don't want to pay for overall design and fabrication of the speaker system, and for a prestegious nameplate, get into DIY speake... | |
| Does length matter with Toslink cables Are "Toslinks" really GLASS optical fibre? Plastic maybe. Real glass fibre can go for miles, but part of this is that digital data waveforms can be greatly distorted and still be properly decoded at the destination as ones and zeros. Somehow audio... | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. Ar_t...The CI D-200 sound better and better. I now have them located directly behind the Maggies with 3 foot (biwire) cables. I have been running the three ZR1600 for a couple of years with no problems at all. One channel has had a 2 ohm load and ... | |
| Here's what I think about the new HD formats. As you get older the need for super high resolution video becomes less important. | |
| Spiral Horn The idea of implementing expansion of the horn by variation of the pitch of the spiral is an ingenious approach. Construction of the spiral is obviously the main problem. The spiral horn could be cast in one piece in plastic or even some mineral s... | |
| So You Think You Know Your Mozart? I missed a couple. However, the test illustrates an interesting fact. When you are familiar with a piece of music it takes only a few of the first notes to identify it. This was brought to light in connection with a law suit some time ago involvin... | |
| DIY Speaker Cabinets Barry...With returns of the respect...loudspeaker enclosures are not the perfect result of "inteligent design" but rather represent subjective goals of the designer. Most obviously there is a range of opinion regarding the best Q value. Variation ... | |

| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. Tvad...The D200 is just an "up voltage" version of the D100, so they ought to sound the same within the D100 power range. I have not gone into a full blown review because the journals, with access to many amps for comparison, plus bench test equip... | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. The ZR1600 does not turn violins into dentist's drills, but I know what you mean. Perhaps the CI D-200 turns ordinary fiddles into Stradivarius violins. This is not exactly the ultimate of "fidelity" but it does sound nice, which , in the end, is ... | |
| DIY Speaker Cabinets Madisound.com has a range of enclosures. They are good quality.I disagree with Barry about how exact a copy of the original enclosure must be. Changes might be for the better. However, I do agree with him that refinishing the existing enclosures w... | |
