If you truly are an EE then you wouldn't be asking how a differential topology reduces distortion over an equivalent Single Ended design. There are plenty of EE telecom books that go into great detail about this but even a junior level Curcuits I book from college broaches the subject. When I...

RE: Granite Granite is one of the strongest naturally occurring materials on earth, measuring an eight out of ten on Mohs hardness scale. It is an important building stone and is extremely resistant to weathering. To give you an idea of granite’s strength, diamonds, the hardest natural material...

You are welcome to follow your own suggestions when you start your own AV publication.

not talking about the interconnect. Talking about the distortion reducing benefits of balanced vs single ended circuit topology.

Not sure and I don't really care. Maybe 2 people will appreciate the measurements of a phono stage these days. The measurement was done for good housekeeping and it's unlikely I will be measuring many phono stages in the near future.

It's kind of obvious the balanced comment was for the Blu-ray player since you can't have a balanced turntable connection but I will try to tweak it a bit. I strongly disagree with your assessment of balanced vs unbalanced circuits. With all things being equal, I would take a fully...

You're joking right? These are by far the most rigid and inert cabinets I've ever seen. Lot's of false assumptions people like to make without ever seeing let alone hearing a product.

Umm the tweeters alone are $150/ea and the Beryllium mids are also very expensive. Not to mention the quality of parts in the crossovers. But yes, Granite is the most expensive item in these speakers and they aren't meant for the value shopper.

We can't measure everything we review and it's our hope people find the subjective portions of our reviews based on years of experience with many products useful. Also, here is a recent review I did with a full battery of measurements for Marantz:" Marantz PM-11S3 Integrated Amplifier Review |...

Oh geez, give me a break. So not only can someone not use that word, but they can't use a misspelled version of it to refer NOT to a person but to our very own rating system or a product in question? If anything I should be offended since Tom is calling out Audioholics, not a person. Or he was...

Not sure where you are reading that or what you mean :confused:

Haha I was thinking the same thing but Sandra was much more appealing to the eye ;)

It was Graduate level Princeton Physics next to the latest JJ Abrams Star Trek movies ;)

The manufacturer does NO such tests. They have no degreed engineers on staff. They are a marketing company selling exotic looking cables that hired creative writers to sell a story. I asked them to show data, produce tests, and all I got in return was the sound of crickets. Their stories...

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt seeing how you're a new member and obviously lacking in knowledge on measuring loudspeakers. This speaker was measured both outdoors (for accuracy) and indoors (to see how they integrated into the room). The outdoor measurements most closely approximate...

The system has been sold. Thanks for your interest.

They have been having supply issues since early summer. The only issue I have is the way they misstate the power of the amplifier of the particular sub in question on this thread. Right now our review schedule is full with products from companies that DON'T have supply or distribution issues...

Not likely. They don't seem very interested and they also don't seem to have their act together with stocking parts to build product. We have limited resources and try to limit our reviews to equipment that is readily available to purchase for our readers.

You are misquoting me. I never said the ADA or DAC conversion process was the problem. I designed Analog Front Ends of Modems and Audio Communication Systems for a living prior to doing Audioholics so I am fully versed in that topic. You need to drop this or start a new thread as you and the...
