| Directionality of wire @jea48 You’re joking, right? You really want me to post pics of me testing a piece of wire both ways with a DMM so you can see there’s no difference? Folks are selling this jazz like 9/11 truthers with rebranded accusations of cognitive dissonance... | |
| Directionality of wire But there’s nothing there to hear. And you can’t prove there is.And why can't you tell me why it would be a good thing even if it did exist? I've asked twice now. | |
| Best integrated for PSB Imagine T2's I’m over here with a beefed up 36 wpc Pass F5 clone. No idea what it would cost to buy an amp like that, but the 25 wpc original went for $3000 7 years ago. I’m using that to power Focal 936’s. More amp than the speakers deserve? Not from my liste... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response I'd seriously consider acoustically simulating that space with room treatment in that case. Walmart has urethane matress pads for like 10 bucks. Not pretty or ideal, but they're dirt cheap and will give you a good idea what treatment can do and wh... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response The 926 and 936 are very similar. Their placement demands will be similar. I definitely think 936's would overwhelm your room. The recommended listening distance Focal suggests are generally well advised, give or take a little. If one amp drive th... | |
| Directionality of wire I'm pretty sure the DSM has a diagnostic name for those who hear things that have no basis in reality. It's called schizophrenia. But say there was some magic wire that acted like a diode in some way. Why would that be a good thing? The concept so... | |
| Directionality of wire Huh.... Can't measure it? That's the problem with things that exist purely in your head, isn't it? I mean, we live in a say when we can study the most microscopic, nuanced phenomenon in the universe with obscene precision, but nobody has ever meas... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps If you're looking for a fully balanced pre-amp the Aleph P shouldn't be on your list. The Aleph products are strictly single ended in their gain device operation. The 2.5 is the way you'd want to go as it operates in complementary super symmetry. | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I'm gonna wait for a real review of this thing before I form an opinion. I was uncomfortable with how the Ragnorok managed bias. I have a friend that heard one and liked it. I have another friend who's got major concerns about the reliability of t... | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers I built the amp from prefabbed PCBs, transistor kits, and various parts I obtained from at least 6 suppliers. I certainly didn’t design it, but I definitely built it outside the design specs to good effect. I vividly recall an article in Stereophi... | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers I'm smart enough to know I'm not smart enough to build a speaker as nice as what the same money would buy. I can build an amp though, and I can do that way cheaper than I can buy a similar amp for. I can seem to build cables that are better than l... | |
| Directionality of wire @geoffkait Show me the measurements. Real simple. At some point you can exaggerate the problem enough to make an observable measurement, so where is it? You're explanations don't even make sense if they're true. If directionality is a good thing, ... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. I HATE horns when it's obvious I'm listening to horns. The last concert I heard on horns was way too in-your-face forward and blaring to the point the sound lost it's coherent, and I'm virtually certainly it was that awful JBL sound so many get we... | |
| Directionality of wire @geoffkait Yeah, you basically did say they can behave like diodes. That's the entire Crux of your argument. A cable embodies 3 passive characteristics; capacitance, inductance, and impedance. Those properties remain consistent regardless of the d... | |
| Power amp or tube amp- for my new speaker Power amps are all amps directly connected to the speakers regardless of their gain devices. Tubes are often the choice of those who don't require gobs of power because they're generally more expensive to buy, maintain, and power than all other am... |
