You know what would be cool?... - Wellfed 12:14:16 05/19/06 (3)

And how does the duplicator know what was a pressure wave (or a rarefaction) at the recording microphone? nt - markrohr 13:41:55 05/19/06 (2)

That's for the experts to figure out... - Wellfed 16:17:44 05/19/06 (1)

Good luck with that! ;-) nt - markrohr 07:57:38 05/21/06 (0)

The problem is not "box" speakers per se; the problem is their high-order catastrophic crossovers. nt - clarkjohnsen 08:03:57 05/19/06 (1)

High-order x-overs, that's why! - KlausR. 04:38:01 05/20/06 (0)

Gotta agree with Mark: Basically you're a couch potato. OK. nt - clarkjohnsen 11:44:29 05/21/06 (7)

"Is the sonic complication of a second stage of circuitry worth the phase change?" - lanny 19:01:46 05/20/06 (0)

While polarity is absolutely audible (over low-phase-shift systems), the fact remains... - clarkjohnsen 08:01:07 05/19/06 (3)

Granted, voltages have "polarity" -- but they aren't linked anywhere to acoustic polarity! nt - clarkjohnsen 11:58:55 05/21/06 (0)

So CD potentially also contains loads of distortion? - KlausR. 21:54:06 05/19/06 (2)
