| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Nice find, Dave! I wonder if we'll see that circuit in a headphone amp? :) Best,E | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters I’m not sure how many different ways I can type this. If you are thinking of resonance cabinet control it is VERY different than what I am describing. Imagine an open baffle speaker design of zero mass resting on frictionless rollers. As music pla... | |
| Channel Imbalance at low volumes The most obvious things to clean/replace are the volume and balance pots, but don't forget any speaker switches or relays. Over time they get corroded and can act like little diodes. I had this happen with a Yammaha P2050. Replaced with new and mu... | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come I'm sorry Teo, I don't agree. The best Class D is as good sounding as the most accurate class A. Should you like it? I don't know. Buy what you like.Best,E | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters The weights issue of course is very much speaker dependent. :) I’m certainly not saying it is THE solution to THE speaker problem. :) This particular issue isn’t resonance within the speaker panels so much as force and leverage vs. the mass of the... | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come Boxer: The ZDAC's are extremely under-rated. I would never be unhappy with one. | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come Randy - For sure a lot of the pop albums were awful. Thriller and Stop Making Sense among the very worst. Producers were so desperate to prove CD's superiority they went nuts with compression. Classical CD's however were a completely different sto... | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated. Google "Airplay Streamer" and you'll find thousands of answers. | |
| To Float or not to Float... The buzz is your answer. Best,E | |
| Tuner or Receiver This to me seems a bigger question than merely FM. In my mind, the FM tuner has by and large been replaced by Internet radio. While we can argue sound quality, issues of reception are more or less fixed given a stable Internet connection. For real... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters That a 12/15" woofer is "slow" is a myth, I’m sorry, I’ve proven it over and over again and much smarter physicists than I have explained it. The real issue is that they produce too much deep bass, which integrates poorly in a room without attenti... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! hi @autre Glad you found this thread useful and that you bought something you like. Remind me please, what are you comparing the Red Dragon to? Best,E | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Good speakers in a good room sound a lot more satisfying than top end speakers in a mediocre room.Many people have no idea how good even 2-way systems can be properly set up. Proper room acoustics can make them sound enormous. Best,E | |
| Subwoofer Refresh - New Amp and EQ! FTR, I am certainly not recommending anyone take apart a $12k subwoofer and do this!! Sell it and buy a new sub with these features instead. :) But if you have a subwoofer that is old, or don’t want to sell because the shipping cost is more than t... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters gkr:The amps and speaker matching are certainly a factor. I remember the first time I really heard a difference in amps was watching the dealer swap in a Tandberg to play Snell A/IIIs. Remarkable power, smoothness and extension. I was quite enamor... |
