| Combining different speakers to get better sound If it sounds good (to you) it sounds good (to you).You are correct that different speakers excel at different kinds of music, but the idea of using both at once is doubtful. Also putting them in series is not a great idea.However, (see line 1). | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup I have come to the conclusion that SW/Main crossover should be set based on what your particular SW can do rather than what your Mains can do. Any decent Main speaker ought to get down to 40 Hz or so, but doing so may adversely affect the Mid bass... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Nrchy...Error correction encoding of a digital data transmission is not an admission of a problem. It is a way to operate the transmission at a higher bandwidth. Correctable errors are intended to occur. By accepting this the hardware can be run a... | |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...RIP Yu11375...I read the essay. Thanks for the reference. It is packed with great detail about Mozart, far too much to be incorporated in a Play or movie. It is exactly what one would expect from a historian (my dad was one).For example: Why did the m... | |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...RIP Yu11375...The extent to which the Play/Movie embellished Mozart's life is debatable. That it did so to some extent is true. All stories on historical characters are "improved" a bit to make them more interesting, and this one is no worse than most... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Nrchy...Mr Nyquist's rule says that a 22KHz SINE WAVE can be recovered without error if the sampling rate is 44KHz.Do you listen to sine waves? 96 KHz is probably just barely adequate for music. Don't give Ritteri a hard time. The poor guy is obvi... | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman1..Go to www.Carverpro.com for info. $800 and change. There are mods, mostly to simply bypass the Prosound features that audiophiles don't need. | |
| HDCD & SACD My Rotel 1066 SS processor includes HDCD, so it doesn't matter that my player lacks it. | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman1...Ok I will step forward. As I have said in other threads, I have purchased Carver ZR1600 digital amps, and I find them to be superb (driving MG1.6 and subwoofers). This confirms opinions posted elsewhere by other reviewers. Also importa... | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? The "tube sound" and the "solid state sound" relate to the distortion spectrum characteristic of these devices when used in a linear amplifier. In a digital amplifier, the characteristics of the ouput devices, tubes or transistors, are irrelevant ... | |
| True Fully Balanced Amplifiers Any stereo amp operated in bridged mode. | |
| Ageless Music? Scot Joplin's ragtime will still be enjoyed a hundred years from now.Leroy Anderson combined popular music with classical values in a way that is unique. Many people are (were) familiar with Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, but the secret is th... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? Luxman T14 FM Tuner. As good as any audiowise, and by far the most beautiful. | |
| Which Beethoven's symphony do you like the best? Newbee...As usual this thread has strayed far from its original intent. I did identify my favorite, the 5th, as per the question of the thread. What stirred up all the talk was my suggestion that the others are not up to their godlike reputations,... | |
| Which Beethoven's symphony do you like the best? Evidently one cannot make any criticism of Beethoven in this company without being acused of being ignorant. For what it's worth, my appreciation of classical music, including Beethoven, dates from about 1948 when I attended a musically oriented b... |
