| 2 channel SACD vs Multichannel SACD players... Bonger...You use the word "mode" which indicates to me that you are configuring your player for stereo playback, and the player is doing the final mixdown. (Remember all recordings these days are mixdowns from dozens of tracks on the master. Stere... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Corona...I have never heard of "sign wave analysis". Please explain. | |
| 2 channel SACD vs Multichannel SACD players... Distortion...A two-channel program does not exist on a DVD-A, but instructions to the player regarding how to mix down the multichannel program into stereo are there. The DVD-A approach and the SACD approach accomplish the same thing in different ... | |
| 2 channel SACD vs Multichannel SACD players... There is absolutely no technical reason why playback of the SACD 2 channel program should be better or worse than the 5 channel one. Of course the 2 channel mix might be more to your liking than the multichannel mix, but that is a function of the ... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Nrchy...Science is not quite as primitive as you suppose. Don't be snowed by this string theory bs.In particular it is very simple to measure whether two amps produce identical outputs. Simply feed the same input (a real musical waveform if that t... | |
| Sacd / Dvda universal players Dtf...Nine to hear a good word about Pioneer players. My first player, a DV-45A, is almost identical to the DV-47A with regard to audio.I gather from other threads that most players offer only one subwoofer crossover frequency. That's the story wi... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup I guess no one can answer this one.Question to you...Why do you think that a cone driver mounted in the main enclosure is superior to a similar (perhaps identical) cone driver mounted in a different box?Six of one: half a dozen of the other. Well ... | |
| Multi-Channel Music: SSP/PrePro with Time Delay?.. Distortion...Sony puts a lot of stuff in fine print :) | |
| Phantom Center sound better than a center speaker? sean...True, my speakers are further apart than I would put them if I didn't have that center speaker. (The geometry of the room dictates wide spacing, and hence the center channel). However, even with "normal" spacing, I find the "phantom" center... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? sean...To be precise, the wavefront generated by the original Ohm speakers is cylindrical, rather than spherical.Lack of vertical dispersion is a good thing when the speaker is used in a room with ceiling and floor to make reflections, and is a ch... | |
| Warped record playback Warped records ceased to be a problem when I bought (decades ago) a Sony PS-X800 table with linear tracking Biotracer (servo controlled) arm. It will track anything. Really amazing. | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? The "point source" thing doesn't really make sense if you think about it. Most instruments are pretty big points. Furthermore, even if the instrument were a solo kazoo, its sound would propogate as a spherical wavefront, and after traveling 30 or ... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Vedric...I normally don't use the LFE channel to drive my subs. If and when I get into movies I can switch the center SW to use the LFE signal. | |
| Do I really need a crossover when running 2 amps? sean....In general I agree with your comment about the superiority of driving speakers directly (not through X/O components), although I can think of a better analogy than the one you used.Of course I biamp between my subwoofers and the MG1.6 main... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Vedric...I have cited my reason for a "high" (80-90 Hz)crossover...(to keep the LF that requires large cone excursions out of the mains so that they can better reproduce the rest of the sound). You have recommended 25-35 Hz, suggesting that there ... |
