Ralf11 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 has anyone done a blind listening test on their electronics with/with out isolators?? (not cone speakers - just ny electronic device) Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think it is a useful engineering question as to whether an electronic audio device can - or should- be designed so that external isolation devices are not needed (i.e. will not improve SQ). The real question for the consumer however is whether a given type of device (sand table, cones, spikes, rubber dampeners, roller balls) will improve SQ. Next, how much must be spent, are $$ better allocated elsewhere, etc. It can be very helpful if the consumer has a basic understanding of physics, electronics, and acoustics. Interestingly, Audio Research changed from a metal top cover to a polycarbonate on their tube gear some years ago, and Cambridge Audio says their DacMagic DAC has specially designed feet ...

Ralf11 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Given that most consumers these days are satisfied with confirmation bias, I imagine the majority of products sold would look groovy and technical whether or not they made an improvement to SQ... sandyk 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Yes, I explicitly excluded speakers from my comment. Of course, esl or ribbons don't have this problem... Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's not cold in Mini-Soda. - 40 oF is cold - I got to experience that when I lived in Wyoming. Every inhalation was like millions of tiny needles deep in the alveoli. Fun stuff. Have some hot dish and go skiing. Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I liked the post where some guy blasted his Maggies so loud they moved. I doubt mine get that loud, but I may stick an accelerometer on and see. BTW, wdw, i am currently doing a single-blind test of tele-zoom camera lenses... daverich4 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 you might want to call Wendell for a chat - but to avoid that consider that Maggies are bipolar and (unlike bipolar humans) the panel radiates front & back at the same time... this means there will be no movement to phase modulate the drivers like in a box speaker but there are all sorts of people selling "upgrades"... you might also enjoy this: audiobomber 1 Link to comment
