| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth The dean of the mechanical engineering school where I went told us that the final exam would be to design a ten ton crane hook, and stand under it as full load was applied. For most things, worst case analysis is not conservative enough...a "safet... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? I thought this thread was about vibration. Please don't extrapolate my views into other aspects of audio where they don't apply, and then criticize me for these views. To reiterate..."There are many audio characteristics, like "soundstage", "trans... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Tbg...Noone is trying to convince you of anything. I am trying to decide what I need to do, and, just as you report the results of your listening tests, I will report my results. Other guys might benefit from my experience as well as yours. Would ... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Sunday morning Kiwi Breakfast....Beer and sausage at the Rugby field. | |
| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth My first reaction to Sean's comment about the benefit of a noise floor much lower than other ICs and far below audibility is "so what". But then I remembered my own experience in designing tests of complex electromechanical equipment, and my insis... | |
| How long does a stylus last? Marakanetz...Hey! Neat idea for a stylus odometer. All you would really need is a timer (such as commonly used on machinery) wired up to the TT motor. Cost would be about $15, but with Cryo treatment it would sell to the vinyl crowd for $200 easy :-) | |
| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth Svenss1...Yes, 30 dB would be a bit high for the line stage, but I was thinking in terms of a phono preamp, where considerably more than 30 dB overall is necessary. Also, the line stage usually has excess gain, which is attenuated by the volume co... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? OK. I did my DVD player, a Denon 2900 with Underwood mod.As before, I appled a 125 Hz warble tone at 110dB measured by the mic resting on top of the player. I used the Denon HI-FI Check CD, track 37 (digital zero) and track 38 (one LSB square wave... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Jadem6...No offense. And well-written comments. I drive a Honda CRV instead of an Acura, because it does everything I need and leaves me with enough money to fly my airplane. Same deal with audio. I could afford the most expensive gear (well almos... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Vongwinner...I hope you are fond of sheep. Near Aukland, don't miss a visit to the Coramandel peninsular. Hot water beach is a ball. | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Tbg...I completely agree that turntables and tube amplifiers need all the vibration control they can get. I was very skeptical about SS circuitry, and the simple test I performed showed that, at least for my phono preamp, vibration has no effect. ... | |
| Behringer as DAC? Smeyers...Let's not start an argument, but I am interested in why we have different experience.1..I cross checked the Rives CD with the RS meter, and found them to be in agreement over the full range of frequencies. 2..If you want to make the resp... | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? Lugnut...What's wrong with a "troll"? That's how a lot of discussion gets started. Look at how many postings this thread generated. | |
| Behringer as DAC? Abrahavt...If I understand your question, that is NOT correct. The DEQ2496 has an analog to digital converter (ADC), digital processing(equalization and lots more), and finally a digital to analog converter(DAC) for output. It has provision to byp... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Tbg...I just reported some facts, and everyone can draw their own conclusions. But I must point out that in dealing with 110 dB sound/vibration input, subtle resolution is a bit of a joke. |
