| A Question About Time Alignment Would it be correct to say that some form of time alignment starts at the source? @4krowme no. Microphones and electronics generally close to perfect. The speaker dominates time and phase alignment by orders of magnitude compared to everything... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build I have a pair of those drivers, which were some of the lowest distortion ones available, but recently have been eclipsed by the newer Purifi units. Still they are a super woofer. A waveguide tweeter and with or without a MR (2 way or 3 way) they ... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Lets get back to the OP’s question. It seems to me, however, that live music isn’t time aligned. Suppose I’m playing the piano and you’re sitting across the room. When I stretch out my left hand to hit the low notes, those notes travel along ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Too much Roo Poop in your ears to hear a difference. must me that the sound is too nuanced? I know a Nobel Prize is. Please try to stay on topic..,,. The topic is “manufacturers and measurements.” It is not about marsupials, nor distributi... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build 1) Unfortunately, I do not. That is a very good question. It is likely that I will have to trust the design of the crossover that I choose,... 2) Looks like this may be over my head. I am a builder of speaker cabinets and 'proven' electronic... | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Class H is not digital......class D is not digital. I already explained that the digital info is turned into PWM inside the "digital" amp....and then into the swtiching class D output stage. Yes, if you have analog then you need to convert it th... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Conrad Johnson all the way. All of there units Have had theater bypass for many many years now. Michael I like the subtle humour. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? @ricevs I always thought the class-D was a switching amp and not a digital amp. … Because it converts the digits directly to PWM (analog) then there is no need for a "normal" dac......and, if you use excellent digital attenuation......no need fo... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Peter Comeau of IAG says that he begins with the science (flat frequency response etc) and then finishes by fine tuning by ear. @cd318 yeah I guess that is mirrored on the consumer end with me using the measurements to weed out things. If the c... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? kota1 - thanks for posting cable study paper link! that “ paper “ captures most of important IC parameters for passive circuits. unfortunately, audio system is more complex than that, and has sources and receivers built of active circuits. act... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? holmz Guess it is to nuanced, The Nobel Prize. Must be a Down Under thing? @jerryg123 usually I blame the spell checker, but in this case the ‘o’ and the ‘i’ are adjacent to each other and I typed it in wrong… but it looked so good, it was ... | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? The Benchmark amp has been proven over time. It is certainly a reference at its price point......BUT.....a big butt.....he he.....we like big butts....well, I do. What if the Peachtree GaN 1 amp ($2000 with 30 day money back) driven from an IF... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment @hifidream Steve, your post was great except for the velocity being a function of the frequency. I can see how one might think that the velocity is a function of frquency as t links like this show v = freg * wavelength let’s just round ... | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? I own a pair of AHB2 and use them as monoblocks with my Magico A3s and REL T/9i subs. They perform well and as advertised. But this is in the context of my system and room. So others experience may be different. Do you think so @kingbarbuda ? ... | |
| What is Your End Game System? One can argue that if there is a radio in it, then it is not a sports car. |
