| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. @xenolith apologies but I don’t understand your post | |
| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. IME even for balanced power, the transformer ought to be pretty massive in order to not have it sound like it sucks the life out of the music. I have a BPS (toroid at 2700VA) weighing approx. 80 lbs and it still pulled down my various power amps.... | |
| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. I’ve noticed this too with power amps. So amp direct to wall socket and source components and PREAMP to conditioner | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Again, just fun to waste air 1- Digital cables? 2- Source to preamp/amp/truly balanced versus single ended? 3- amplifier to loud speaker cables? 4- Power (AC cables)? I built two identical, single ended amplifiers one using silver solde... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! you could be comparing XLR to RCA, so obviously cables matter Is it ok for those of us that have tried many different SPEAKER cables and could never hear or discern a difference to say- “for me, different speaker cables don’t matter”? | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? There’s no way in hell the crossover is heating up as much as the voice coil!! Think of thermal compression at 1 watt at 84db vs. 1 watt at 99db!! I’ve heard the difference hundreds of times…… the 84db (low sensitivity) sounds stuffy and congest... | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? High sensitivity folks (not efficiency) Ive had lots of all the above (and still have many of both). One mans "dynamic range" is another mans "loud" or "in your face" so its a hard subject to discuss. IME yes, high sensitivity = more "dynamic ra... | |
| Flat frequency response Theres lots to learn on the topic of frequency response. Are you familiar with "The Harman Curve"? That could be a fun place to start! | |
| Flat frequency response A waterfall plot shows decay times describing the acoustics in that particular ROOM | |
| Corner bass traps - most installed wrong? To expect an improvement in your rooms bass response I usually do at least two corners from floor to ceiling. Most folks find this to be enough | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? IME in the world of DAC’s…I’m with @othercrazycanuck | |
| New Class D amplifiers I’ve never owned the Ncore 400’s but always wanted to try them. When I finally went to give them a try the Nilai500 had been released as their replacement. This is the first time I’ve ever used class D for my stereo mains amplification. I have Cr... | |
| New Class D amplifiers Congrats OP on success with choosing an amp. A whole thread on new class D amps and no love (nor mention) for the Nilai500? Perhaps too inexpensive lol. Im having success with a pair of these behind a Supratech preamp | |
| Feel like I'm outta my mind.... If you’re going with dual subs (I think you should, as they eliminate any lumpy inconsistent base response throughout a room, unless it’s the size of an auditorium) then I suggest using high sensitivity speakers. Dual subs generally eliminates th... | |
| Goodbye Everyone God speed @elliottbnewcombjr +1 @vonhelmholtz you’ve got to “read between the lines” |
