| Ineed some help with a simple math equation Better measurements IMHO are distortion and noise in the actual usable range. If you have spec sheets, look at the THD+N in the 30-100 W range.However, inefficient speakers are less sensitive to noise, and many doubt we can hear anything below 0.5... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Could be. But it could also be in addition to. Looking at the specs for the B&O amps for instance, they could benefit from this idea.Also, as I have noted, you CAN do this yourself using miniDSP, if you were so inclined. I wish I had the time/... | |
| Puzzled... If we are talking rock/pop I'd say it is compression. Lots of albums were mixed for absolute loudness instead of dynamic range. | |
| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? Because Phil Collins and Meatloaf aren't really producing? | |
| Why are my crossovers different You don't need to measure each cap separately. Measure the bundle. That's the whole point.Best,E | |
| Wilson Audio MAXX resistors Little confusion. Electronics may have fusible/flame proof resistors. Usually these open under 1 watt. Nice to prevent an amplifier failure from cascading and melting the entire thing. Not practical for a speaker. Actual fuses and self-resetting d... | |
| Why are my crossovers different You can use Room EQ Wizard, or DATS to measure your caps with high accuracy and the correct ESR. https://www.roomeqwizard.com/help/help_en-GB/html/impedancemeasurement.htmlhttps://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dats-v2-computer-based-audio-com... | |
| Why are my crossovers different Measure what you have. Don't just mirror. Best,Erik | |
| Why are my crossovers different DIYAudio is a better place for technical questions like this, but I'll try. First, what speaker is this? So the schematic says 26.7uF (not exactly an off the shelf value). When you say the actual values are 25.7 and 28.1 are you going by measured ... | |
| Room treatments So, if I may add, my working hypothesis was one of two: 1. I was having a stroke.2. Those tube traps were reflective at the HF, and very absorptive in the midrange. None of the GIK gear I use has these features. They are pretty much mid to treble,... | |
| Room treatments Hi Folkfreak,Well, it is also possible I was hearing the electronics, but interestingly, I've heard Pass before, and not thrilled, but also didn't cause this problem.This was the first show I have ever been to so meticulously treated by ASC. And r... | |
| Room treatments I spent a day listening to several rooms at the California Audio Show treated extensively with ASC tube traps. The more treated, the more suck. Not an innuendo. They literally sucked the midrange out of the room, turned the bass into 1 note, and a... | |
| 2017 California Audio Show in Oakland, CA - Partial Review Hi Mark!I only learned about it from Fritz's posting. :) I thought the show was dead. I'm in Tiburon. Best,E | |
| 2017 California Audio Show in Oakland, CA - Partial Review hi @passet02 ,Vienna and Fritz Audio. My two female audiophiles also praised Fritz. Best,E | |
