| All speakers have a little EQ built in @erik_squires I'm not saying you are misusing the term. I'm saying the term when it was coined last century was and is a bit of a misnomer. My speaker manufacturer brags of a flat frequency response. Indeed. some very expensive speaker manufac... | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in The goal of a good crossover is a flat frequency response from bottom to top. This is the "equal" part of equalization. The term "equalizer" is actually a misnomer. it allows frequency response to be unequal to suit one's listening preferences.... | |
| Hi current or source power cable @thedoc2004 My last post was meant to address the story you heard that using a source cord on an amp can damage the source cord. | |
| Hi current or source power cable @thedoc2004 absolutely not. But also not a good idea for SQ. | |
| Hi current or source power cable The external power supply does not need more power. If anything less. Jerry | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? send me one and I'll try it. RCA pair or AES/EBU. | |
| list of speakers @grislybutter I love your responsse to me. I wish you all the luck in the world. Jerry | |
| Right angle XLR adapter I know people are much more into aesthetics than I am, I'm a form follows function guy. My rack is wide open both for cooling and flexibility. I designed it myself and had it fabbed in a weld shop. It doesn't look nearly as bad as most are imag... | |
| list of speakers What a great list. The sorting ability is huge. Thank you. with a little publicity, some work to make it more complete, you can monitize it and do pretty well I would think. The suggestion to add ratings has been made and is a double edged sword.... | |
| How noisy is my line? Audio Prism Noise Sniffer Pretty sure I don't need a sniffer to know that line power is dirty. The power on the grid in my neighborhood is about 4% THD. The output of my regenerator is .1% THD. Jerry | |
| DAC with i2S Another example of someone picking a connector and shopping for a component to go with it. Can you share how you concluded that DACs without I2S should not be considdered? | |
| New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables?? Definitely buy new cables and send the old ones to me. Those are nice cables. Jerry | |
| 2a3 ? I am a huge fan of the SET vs the push pull. Push pull is your only option if your speakers are not sensitive enough but my speakers are and i've tried several different amps. SET for the win. Jerry | |
| 2a3 ? I had a wonderful Tektron amp that used 45, 2A3, and 300b. I think the 2A3 might have been best but it depended a lot on the tubes. Jerry | |
| Anyone with experience having cables made using Amorphous Metals/Alloys People will try anything. I’ve even seen interconnects made of carbon dust (like spark plug wires) with very high resistance. But I feel I should point out that any copper/silver alloy will always have a higher resistance than either pure copper ... |
