| Do Bigger Speakers Mean a Bigger Window? I hardly think audio history is strictly littered with large speakers. Wilson W/P’s are certainly highly desired legends. Quads 57’s and 63’s aren’t large and very highly regarded. I don’t think JBL L100’s are particularly legendary beyond the fac... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @geoffkait I don't even bother reading your nonsensical barking madness anymore. You might as well not bother. You never have anything meaningful to contribute. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I think cables make a difference, but I think beyond a point it's more about stoking the users ego, vanity, and delusions than achieving higher quality audio. If you NEED a $10,000 interconnect cable to get what you're looking for, to ADD the colo... | |
| Do Bigger Speakers Mean a Bigger Window? Really, it's a lot of much more nuanced factors than sensitivity/efficiency, size of speaker, types of driver, or amplifier power. Amplifier bandwidth, damping factor, feedback and how it's implemented, the reactivity of the speakers, how well the... | |
| Do Bigger Speakers Mean a Bigger Window? Ease of driving only makes a difference if your amp is too gutless to drive a more demanding load. Some very difficult to drive speakers cast massive soundstages, but you need an amp that doesn't go flacid into a 2 ohm load or less. Casting huge i... | |
| CDs Vs LPs I tried to get into vinyl 20 years ago. Completely unimpressed. I can't do the hiss and pops. I can't deal with a radio station that has low level static or very high hiss like the university station near me. So far I haven't heard any digital tha... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @tweak1 A buffer is an active stage that does give gain. Because it's assumed everything in an audio chain are voltage sources, voltage gain is all that gets labeled gain. Building pure current gain circuits is totally possible. That's what a buff... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Huh.... And all this time i thought you were opposed to gain. Guess you're not. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Wrong and wrong... again. Sure, you can Drive a Pass Labs amp with single ended signals, but you get less gain, half the power, and ten times the distortion. You'd know that if you read the Su-Sy article. You'd also have known that there are defin... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Too bad your thing isn't balanced. It really limits it's usefulness with a Pass amp. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? There are balanced amps. They're not hard to build. | |
| High quality USB-C to USB-B cable. Does such a thing exist? USB type C cables are a whole different animal. Aside from the length limits, the connectors have chips integrated into them to identify the cable and sense orientation. Type C also introduces to QoS features which will make boutique USB cables fo... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I'm totally on board with Atmasphere here. I like a pretty wide variety of sounds and I don't consider a speaker terribly good if it doesn't do a good job with just about everything I can throw at it. I want my Chevelle, Tool, and Mastodon to soun... | |
| Focal Aria 926/936 And you still haven't explained how dropping those in corners with 2 or 3 feet to spare isn't going to reinforce the snot out of those speakers. | |
| Focal Aria 926/936 You're radically misinformed if you think the Kanta No.2 uses the same F cone drivers found in the 926. About they only thing they share is the F cone itself. The W cone drivers in the 826W are pretty much the same as those used in the Electra. No... |
