Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Audiophile Deathmatch: Monster Cables vs. A Coat Hanger!
I would rather not have a discussion, some people claim there is a difference, thats good, I respect that, and yes, I admit I do have a rather well respected digital cable, the late edition of Illuminati D-60, but anyway. I will tell my own story. I started out with electrostatic hybrids in the 80´s, using cheap electricity wire. I then moved on with the same brand, Audiostatic fullrange electrostatics, a Coda 10.5 power amp and Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Signature preamp, a very repsectable system. I was in contact with the owner of the Audiostatic factory, and asked him about recommended speaker wire. He laughed at me and told me to stop thinking about this as electrostatics sounded the same with any decent wire. I went on to buy Tara Labs Reference Gen. 1, a thick solid core that was very hard to bend. I also bought a roll of cheap Radio Schack wire, the same as Anti cables use. I bought both cables because it was mentioned in Stereophile magazine.. I heard no diffence between the two actually. Now I have Martin Logan Aeon I, but actually use a set of vintage Carlsson OA50.2 Ortho Acoustic speakers at the moment, and my basic setup is basic solid core electricity wire, 2,5 mm2 bought dirt cheap from an electrician store. The conductors look a bit like a coat hanger yes, except for the color. I simply fell off the cable wagon, and it doesnt bother me one wee bit, never think about it. Dont worry, be happy, and if you owe expensive cables I am sure you enjoy them just as much as I enjoy mine. -- Anne Squeezebox 3 Stereovox XV2 Bryston B100-DA SST Carlsson OA50.2 Sennheiser HD580 Precision Anne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44124 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Smart multi room audio
What equipment would be needed in order to have the following multiple room audio setup with the following criteria: 1. Each room has independent volume 2. Each room can play the same source at the same time 3. Each room can play a different source at the same time 1 is easy with volume controls, 2 is easy too with a multi channel amp or speaker switch but how can you do both 2 and 3? If you had a multi zone amp or mutiple stereo amps and multiple squeezebox's you could do 3 but Is there a better way? -- markwm markwm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12366 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45202 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

markwm wrote: What about suitable amps? if you have 4 rooms, that's 4 squeezeboxes. Would need an amp capable of driving 4 sets of speakers at the same time playing different sources. Actually, I'd use powered speakers. I'm doing that in my library quite well. The downside to this setup I see is that if you have 4 SBs playing the same music, you're using 4 x bandwidth Assuming you are using compressed files and a decent wireless setup, it is four times the bandwidth, but its well within what a 11g setup can do. I would not try this with 11b. And if bandwidth is a worry, you can drag CAT6. Its easier and more reliable than dragging two speaker cables. I generally don't think of whole house audio as being of concern to audiophiles. I have one audiophile main system (Transporter, etc.) and secondary systems for more casual listening. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Smart multi room audio
You can easily do the 4x squeezebox/receiver with FLAC over G wifi. As long as the SqueezeCenter is on wired ethernet. I agree with pfarrell, squeezeboxes and powered speakers are a great way to go for each room. If you're looking for an in-wall setup, and want to use a small stack of SqueezeBox receivers in a closet, you would need either an 8 channel amp, or a small stack of 2 channel amps. (or some combination of amps) A normal 2 channel amp with distribution splitter wouldn't work. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45202 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Where is the Phase at the Transporters Connector?
Don´t know exactly how this is defined electricaly but once i read how to connect units in Phase. I measure the Voltage between ground of the rca plugs to earth. The unit must be stand alone and not attached to others. Correspondending to the direction of the power plug this voltage changes. The direction resulting in lower voltage i use on my equipment. On the Transporter this is when the current carrying lead is attached to the inner pin showing to the mid of the Transporters back.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] audioengine a5 or amp/speaker for same $$$?
The AudioEngine stuff is very good, both good gear and good value. There are a lot of powered monitors in the $400 range, although these primarily target professional music recording applications. I bought a pair of Alesis M1-520's for $199 last December. These are nice little monitors. See www.alesis.com for details. I just recent found a source for these refurbished for $149/pr. The finish is less pretty than the AE gear, and the inputs are 1/4 3 conductor ro XLR.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Smart multi room audio
something like the Russound CAV/CAM will get you all 3 of your requirements. I've got a couple of the Russound RNet pieces in the basement and feed them with tuner/XM radio/SB3/Roku M1000/Cable box 1/Cable box 2 and distribute any of the 6 sources to any/all locations (10 currently, 2 unused rooms available). Sonance and a few other companies provide multi-room/multi-source systems as well. I chose the Russound stuff as it interfaces well with home automation systems. -- twylie Thecus N5200 - transporter - Krell KRC2 - 4 x nuforce 8b - Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen III Thecus N5200 - SB3 - Monarchy DIP - Monarchy Super DIP - Monarchy 18b - AES 845 monos - Sonus Faber Concertos / Audio Physic Sparks twylie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=956 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45202 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Modulo being a bit flat, it shouldn't clip as far as I understand? It's a common psycho-acoustic phenomenon that distortion DOES make the audio sound louder. What you're seeing on a CD waveform is 'controlled' clipping, where the level is maximized as much as possible yet held at a maximum level of -0.2dBFS. The digital signal isn't clipping, but the processing in the mastering process is 'controlled soft-clipping' for the volume.
