| standing waves When you sit down, you're closer to the mid / tweeter axis of speaker dispersion. This shifts the tonal balance higher. When you stand up, you're further off axis, shifting the tonal balance down. The end result is a warmer presentation with less ... | |
| Xover parts quality,/sound difference? Undertow: I think that we are thinking along the same lines, but expressing it in different ways. While you are saying that more complex crossover designs limit the sonic potential of the system as a whole, and i tend to agree, i'm saying that the... | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue Here's an interesting article about the horrid sound of modern digital recordings / CD's that you might want to check out. It's good to see that some folks on the "inside" of the music making / recording industry are noticing what we are too. The ... | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue Shadorne: Out of all of the recordings sold om a day, what percentage of them do you think come from those labels? Sean> | |
| Half the information on CDs is analogue I said: "How is the average person supposed to know what "sounds good" or "sounds right" when those supposedly devoted to "high fidelity audio reproduction" don't even know what it is?".Mlsstl said: "Such touching devotion to the common man! ;-)".... | |
| Xover parts quality,/sound difference? Like i said earlier, some of the crossovers i've seen were enough to make one want to either laugh, cry or at least shake their head in disbelief. As far as sensitivity being a major portion of the revelatory importance of such upgrades and differ... | |
| Xover parts quality,/sound difference? Vman: I have NO doubt that you experienced massive gains in your Klipsch products after upgrading parts. This was the first brand of speaker / crossover that i experimented with about 20 years ago and it involved their "classic" line of speakers. ... | |
| Xover parts quality,/sound difference? "Wasting all your money on exotic caps in a low pass circuit usually makes no sense unless there is a specific design need for it"Have you ever measured the losses through a typical electrolytic as compared to a group of ganged "exotic" caps? Thes... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it As i've mentioned in other threads, simply pulling and replacing fuses can improve conductivity. This is due to breaking up corrosion and making fresh metal to metal connections. Whether or not this is audible would depend on how corroded those co... | |
| Can the sound of SS amp deteriorate over time?? Eldartford: In effect, the systems that you discussed are tempurature and environment controlled without being exposed to transient power variations. As such, i would expect most any reasonably built product to last a long time and work properly w... | |
| Current mode vs voltage mode Paul: I didn't say that the only reason why tubes "sound good" ( obviously, a subjective opinion ) was due to distortion. What i did say is that ( typical ) digital recording and playback circuitry and "typical" tubed circuitry ( if there are such... | |
| Current mode vs voltage mode This has to do with the mating impedances of the equipment and cabling involved, the stability of the circuit(s) involved, etc... While i'm not real familiar with the electrical characteristics of the Halcro designs ( other than using higher level... | |
| Can the sound of SS amp deteriorate over time?? Porziob: Thanks for clearing that up for me. I, my annnually calibrated test equipment ( HP spectrum analyzer, tracking generator, AF & RF signal generators, Tek scopes, etc... )and the experiences of the mass majority of my customers must all... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Bob Bundus: You'll be glad to know that there is hope after all. My Brother is currently in school via the local electrician's union. In class, his instructor asked the class to vote whether fuses or circuit breakers were superior. My Brother and ... | |
| Can the sound of SS amp deteriorate over time?? Yes, electrical products can and do shift operating parameters over an extended period of time, especially if tempurature swings are involved. Sometimes, a simple alignment is all that is needed, sometimes parts need to be replaced and then an ali... |
