    A question about the AV710

    This has been bugging me in the back of my mind since I heard about it. Why would the manufacturer put a different and better ADC on the rear channels than on the front?

    Variable impedance output amp and driver damping?

    In a thread that ended up being about intermodulation distortion, Daroid said: Quote: Quote: Originally Posted by Daroid View Post Proper IMD tests for headphones, i'll promise you, regardless of costs are not a pretty sight. The same goes for speakers. I still think that IMD and THD...

    The next Stevie Ray?

    Decibels, distortion, amplifiers and golden ears

    Good morning everyone. This may well be my last post/thread here, I strongly suspect that my views upset more than a few of you and that is not my intention at all. I've been doing a little math and have come to some conclusions that I would like to share. The majority of high quality...

    Is there a list of mods somewhere I haven't seen?

    The rules state not to start a new thread inquiring why a thread is locked and to PM a mod. I can't find a list or the handle of a mod despite looking, so how can I PM one?

    I probably shouldn't hang out here..

    I have some controversial opinions and I'm quite good at stating and defending them. If you check my sig line you will see a quote from Richard Feynman, I believe that wholeheartedly and try very hard not to fool myself. In the process though I often end up angering other people to the...

    OK, I give up...

    How in the H E double toothpicks do you change font size and color in your sig? Never mind about color, I just figured that one out.. Duh!

    Computers, EQ and ripping vinyl

    There seems to be a bit of opprobrium directed toward equalization from some people here. I just got my test record to analyze my system and I have found that it was not as flat as I might have wished. Almost all phono preamps have the RIAA curve built into them in hardware, op amps...

    Small wifi audio receiver?

    I would like to be able to monitor my vinyl ripping while walking around the house. Additionally I would like to do it on my own existing headphones, most cans are uncomfortable to me and I have some canal phones and cans that are comfortable. I would like a small wifi receiver that I can...

    Son of the return of stupid headphone tricks.

    Here is a screenshot of Wavosaur running both the subharmonic synthesizer and the Dolby 5.1 surround for headphones at the same time. Seriously, this stuff ain't all that hard and it makes even my cheapie canal phones sound a lot better. Wavosaur does batch files, you can process as...

    Got Bass?

    Now you do. You'll need this. And this as a host. As much bass, of however low a frequency, as you wish. One more piece and you'll be set to go.

    Stupid headphone tricks...

    I've been playing with Dolby 5.1 over headphones for a couple of days now and thought I would share the technique here. First thing to do is download and install a shareware music editor called "Reaper". This is the host for the Dolby 5.1 headphone dll...

    Free to a good home...

    Well, I totally borked my Signet TK22's trying to repair 'em. My loss is your gain. For the price of a padded envelope and postage you can have my cables which are still in quite good shape for being over twenty five years old. If you want the rest of it to try and repair, you can have...

    Yamaha HP-3 vs. Signet TK33

    As of about fifteen minutes ago I'm the proud owner of a pair of HP-3 Orthodynamic cans I probably paid too much for on ebay. I also have my eye on some TK33 electrostatic cans on ebay. I am intrigued by the technology of the Yamahas and I really like the comfort and sound of the Signets...

    Hello all, n00b here with some questions.

    I've been lurking here off and on for quite a while, great forum with lots of fascinating information. Finally joined, since I have some questions to which I cannot find the answers. First, I have a pair of Signet TK22's which I have owned since I bought them new in about 1982. I really...
