| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... We can measure the amount of noise and distortion from that "ocean" and once those measurements show us it's not audible by humans then I don't really see the point of making it lower. From an engineering perspective I understand the desire for mo... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Once the noise floor is beyond a humans auditory perception does it really matter if it gets any lower? | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Actually a fuse is not necessary for the amplifier to work it's a safety precaution. | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... If a fuse modifies the ability of the amplifier to amplify the input then the amplifier is broken. | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... The few feet of power cord filters electricity about as good as your garden hose filters water. | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 Not sure where they have dealers. This was a year ago but I think it was about $3400 to upgrade them, might be more now. I have the invoice but I would need to dig it out. I bought mine blind, took a leap of faith. Very few places near where I am ... | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 If you do get the Perspectives play around with them before trying any DSP. I was listening to Sgt Pepper earlier and while it's not known for being bass heavy it will surprise you when McCartney's bass shines through. I haven't had a lot of speak... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... I have no idea who your friend is but where I live I don’t see line amplifiers on transmission lines every 50ft, poles are more than 50 ft apart. That would be an amplifer on every pole?? | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... The speaker causes the amplifier to work harder not the minimum resistance of a cable as long as it's rated for the job. Anything 12 awg or less should be fine up to 25 ft. Cars are DC which is why they typically use very large guages of wire. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) You say can get to The Music Room? Run over there and try those Thiel CS 2.4 they have. | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? Yes it will use the Oppo DAC connected with optical. Easy rule of thumb, if you go analog left, right out you're using the internal DAC if you use digital out, coax, optical, AES3 you're not using the internal DAC. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) The easiest way to eliminate the room is headphones. If that's not a consideration then it's compromises. With a 6.5ft ceiling it will be a challenge. If you can you might try British speakers, Harbeth or similar. Adjust height, listening distanc... | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 Like I said I have mine about 20 inches and it helps on the boom of bass. I've never liked running subwoofers and I am not a fan of to much bass but I do like a natural tight bass on Jazz, older rock like the Beatles etc.. you can use Dirac or ARC... | |
| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 I've used Dirac on minidsp and now I am using Anthem ARC. Minidsp has units without Dirac that are cheaper where you can do EQ. Dirac and ARC are easy you position the Microphone where it tells you and they give you their best curve but you can tw... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? This is always confusing to me why are you looking for digital that sounds like analog? The Benchmark DAC3 gives you what's on the recording without coloration or distortion. Perhaps it's the rest of your system. If you don't want accurate then ... |
