| What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles? For most practical purposes, the earth is flat. | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed These speaker may sound great, but they should not be called "planar". | |
| Can any multi-channel amp be bridged? Audiobomber...Also called the Dynaco matrix multichannel setup, and they sold hardware to facilitate its setup. They derived a center front channel by using a Y connection of the front Left and Right with the return through the center. What I did ... | |
| someone please explain direct coupled amps Clueless got it right...we are talking about interstage coupling capacitors being eliminated. A Direct coupled amp has response down to DC: which means that if you put a constant 1 volt on the input you will get a constant 25 volts (or so) at the ... | |
| Do cd's store a more exact copy of sound than LP's One violin or a hundred violins, there is only one signal (voltage variation over time) per channel. The fidelity with which this analog signal can be represented by a series of numbers (voltages at times) which is the digital method, is precisely... | |
| Can any multi-channel amp be bridged? When you bridge a stereo amp, you drive each individual amp with the same signal, but one signal has inverted phase. Note that this makes for a more steady draw from the plus and minus power supplies. Some amps (like the Dynaco ST120 of long ago) ... | |
| DYI Speakers. How good can they be? Rkeman...I agree that Madisound Kits are great. I have three Dynaudio Gemini from Madisound, which are very good (for a box). However, I don't consider assembly of a Madisound kit as true DIY. | |
| Recommendation for multi-ch pre/pro Rotel 1066. Mine works great. Few $. | |
| Cross over frequency ??? All of the above is good advise and sound theory. Give it a try. However, my experience has led me to a somewhat different approach.First, turn off the main speakers and, with the crossover set to 90 Hz or thereabouts, listen to some music. "What ... | |
| DYI Speakers. How good can they be? When I got into this hobby, virtually all speakers were DIY. You bought the drivers of your choice, and used plans put out by the manufacturers to build a cabinet. There were some good cabinet kits. Electrovoice was one that I put my Warfedale 12"... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Sean...Please clarify. Are you in favor of half-baked science? Or do you reject good science and perceptive instinct? | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed There are people who say that a solid state "watt" is different from a tube "watt". Maybe these are some different kind of dB. | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Sean... Science is good. Instinct is good. What's bad is when half-baked science is trotted out to "prove" someone's instinct. | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Unsound...Since when do audiophiles agree on anything? | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed Lugnut...What if the aerogel were made with helium in it instead of air? Maybe we will need speaker hold-down cables instead of cones! |
