| 5-10k budget... so many choices @audiotroy I've got a pair of massive dipole AMT's sitting in the other room. Ive heard all the AMT speakers you've mentioned. They're ALL bright, forward, and directional to the point where 1 degree of toe alters the imaging significantly. That's... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices @audiotroy You really do love just making up the silliness, don't you? Only somebody whose never heard a modern Focal product would say they're forward in the treble. You really reveal your ignorance with this kind of stupidity. You want to talk a... | |
| Faint speaker hiss If you have to be literally inches from the speaker to hear it, what's the problem? I get the same thing through my F5 and there's plenty of commercially built amps that are louder than that. I do get a bit of a 60Hz hum that you also need to be i... | |
| Why does all new pop music sound the same? Because Tool hasn't released their new album yet. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Legends of the Seagullmen | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? This "more power is better" jazz is pretty sophomoric advice. Watts are practically irrelevant. The two questions one needs answers to are "Does my speaker need a current source or voltage source?" and "How far are you listening?" Benign, high imp... | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? Looks like a lot of big budget suggestions are being tossed out there. Not sure if the OP plans on taking a second mortgage on the house or not, but the budget would be good to know. I'm going to guess based on the names he tossed out there it not... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @audiotroy Measurements are VERY suggestive of how a piece of gear will sound. Measurements are how manufacturers get consistency. Measurements are the best indicator of how one piece of gear will work with another. If I walked into your shop and ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @georgehifi You talk like only BJT stages do that. MOSFETs have no trouble with that either, and they don't require as much thermal runaway protection. @audiotroy More opinion. No facts. Yawn. | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? @mtrot Lots of options here... I'd warn against taking most of them too seriously as they don't withstand scrutiny too well. Some of them don't even make sense on their face if you think about it.Atmasphere is spot on with what he says, as usual. ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @audiotroy Nope... Not fabbing any dies here, but you kinda learn some of this stuff actually building the circuits and trouble shooting them. I’m certain you’ve never soldered a transistor to a board in your whole life, nor looked at a transistor... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @audiotroy Sorry, pal, but you're flat out wrong. Only somebody who knows nothing about transistors would say the kinds of things you're saying. The optimum operating voltage for a transistor depends entirely on the characteristics of the transist... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @audiotroy I'm calling BS. The sound of a tube comes from it's transconductance curve characteristics. Tubes require high voltage because they're very high impedance devices. What you're saying sounds like a lot of sales brochure ad copy pseudo-th... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com No offense, but I don't take "whathifi" seriously at all. It's about the most poorly written and edited work I've ever seen selling itself as authoritative. People who can't be bothered to proof read their own professional work aren't people who's... | |
| Amp Upgrade - Capacitors, Resistors or both? Replacing resisters is actually pretty uncommon unless the unit in question has noisy parts. Resisters fail open which is usually a pretty safe mode of failure. Caps are always the most problematic, especially aged tantalum caps, followed by diode... |
