    Is a Lower Noise Floor, are "Blacker" Blacks, Consonant With the Music?

    Another consideration is the environment in which the speaker designer voices their speakers. Some dipoles, for instance, rely heavily on back wave reflections to create "ambiance" or "atmosphere" in playback. I know that both positioning and rear wave damping greatly affected the sound field...

    Is a Lower Noise Floor, are "Blacker" Blacks, Consonant With the Music?

    Ron, I truly marvel at your ability to bring up topics which touch on aspects of music reproduction that are not often discussed. Any recording venue has an inherent noise "signature", and it perhaps adds to the individuality of recordings produced there. When we overlay noise from our...

    Honda goes small with first all-electric car

    I drive a BMW i3, full electric vehicle. With solar on the house, I commute to work for pennies. The i3 is faster than most cars on the road to 60mph, and is a pleasure to drive. With Honda and other makers moving forward with all-electric cars, it can only be good as the market is pushed to...

    Magnapan 30.7 rear wave interference.

    You might also experiment with toe-in on the Maggies and listen for changes due to the back wave striking the horns differently. Changes to the sound may also be caused by any object (especially as large as those horns!) behind planars. Learned about this with my old Apogee Full Ranges. Lee

    First Covid 19 vaccine recipient

    As far as I understand, one can be a “carrier” while uninfected. The ultimate goal is to have nobody (statistically) to give the virus to, implying post-infection or vaccinated immunity.

    First Covid 19 vaccine recipient

    I received the first dose on 12/19 (true front-line) and get the second dose Thursday. My team manages the sickest COVID patients on ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) when ventilators are unsuccessful. Besides a sore arm for a few hours, I noticed zero symptoms or side effects...

    Solar Cell electricity effect on Audio???

    Admittedly not too knowledgeable regarding the EE side of this discussion, but I do have a large solar installation (63 panels w/micro-inverters). I also hear no degradation of sound. I am in the position to compare (as most solar customers are) the sound when the home is generating its own...
