| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question I never looked at the booklet before. If you only listen to the CD then my assessment is correct. Track 2 is labeled "channel phasing, not absolute phase. "Having "a clearly defined central image" as the recording tells you to listen for has only ... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Tbg, can you refer me to some nore info on H-Cat? I didn't see anything in the manufacturer section. When some frequencies are delayed and others aren't it is usually refered to as phase shift or group delay. Doppler shifts have to do with relativ... | |
| Stereophile test CD2 In/Out of Phase test:question That test shows whether your speakers are in phase with each other, it doesn't show absolute phase. That means if they are being fed the same signal the cones will be moving in and out together. If the phase is reversed then when one speaker is mo... | |
| I need a bit more midbase from my cdp Good thought from Red, it may not be a lack of midbass but a smearing of all bass frequencies from the the room. Don't you just hate/love how complicated even the simplest things can become? | |
| URGENT HELP NEEDED: Marantz Clock Upgrade I'm with Slappy on this one (kind of scary actually), have the unit returned to you. If he can't find the part to be replaced then he is definitely not the guy you want working on your unit. | |
| Push pull 300B amplifiers TWL, Berning describes the ZOTL amp as class A push-pull. Even though his design is truly unique, I don't see how you can call an OTL amp an SET in any traditional sense of the term.In any case I would love to hear it. | |
| I need a bit more midbase from my cdp Try moving your speakers, start a bit closer to the wall. | |
| Rothwell In-Line Attenuators? I agree that anything will affect the sound, but I can't go along with it will always be degraded. In this case we are talking about two high quality resistors, a few solder joints, and an extra connection. I can see where using these could change... | |
| Isolation feet for monitors I'm curious why you feel the need for isolation. Any type of flexible feet will allow the monitors to move about. My experience with monitors is that the more rigidly they are held in place the better they sound. | |
| I'm Very SCARED - Please advise, Cartridge Drop Forget about it, the cartridge shouldn't have a problem with that. A severe lateral blow might be a different story but the cartridge is designed to allow the stylus to have vertical movement. | |
| Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years? Is the warranty on the sun transferable to subsequent owners | |
| Rothwell In-Line Attenuators? It's just a couple of passive parts so there is no reason it wouldn't be.If it solves your problem (I'm assuming too much overall gain) and you otherwise are happy with your system then I think they are good way to go. If you can solder you can bu... | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? If the shelf that the turntable sits on moves to the degree that you describe, sorry, hthere isn't a turntable in the world that will work.Go digital. | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? Jeff is right, a turntable with suspension is not designed to reject the type of problems you get from bouncy floors. Wall mount is the way to go. | |
