bypassing a crossover in a two-way
Good question Gregm. I think .68uF is a 500Hz cross to the tweeter. 11.00uF is about 3000Hz and where you want to be. I did this real quick, anyone agree.....Greg? 
bypassing a crossover in a two-way
You need 4 wires coming from the binding posts, two positive and two negative. One of the pairs goes directly to the woofer. The other pair goes to the tweeter, but has a cap in the positive wire on the way to the tweeter. The cap is cutting low f... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
Hi Newbee. You might be reading my mind. I have been revisiting compliance this morning, looking for errors and ideas. Here's the poop. Scoutmaster, JMW-9 (7.7gm effective mass), ZYX FUJI with silver base for added mass(5gm cartridge + 4gm silver ... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
OK, guys, and thank you! I now believe I need to solve this rather than ignore it. Going to re-read this thread, visit the websites again, and make couple of phone calls. The one thing my gut tells me not to do, is attenuate above the 20Hz. I just... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
Hi Hdm. Yes they are ported. And I'm no expert either. Maybe I should contact Kevin as I did Marchand. I still believe that I do not want to attenuate, or mono, any frequencies above 18Hz. And I'm sure you are correct when you say there are high q... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
Thanks Bob. I just talked to Marchand. They do indeed have solutions, the Bassis being one of them. They also can supply the very large inductors needed to add a passive high pass circuit to the woofer crossover itself. I don't think I have rumble... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
Actually, if the phono preamp is where this circuit would be, if it existed, I don't see why it isn't a feature on all phono preamps. 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
I was going to add a high-pass filter at 18Hz to my woofer crossovers, but that passive method requires some very large caps and inductors. Might have to revisit that. Also noticed the Bellari phono preamp has a rumble filter. Pretty nice feature ... 
Anyone wish they had a rumble subsonic filter?
Couple of things guys. This is a three-way stereo speaker, not a subwoofer. I just looked at the KAB. It turns everything below 180Hz to a mono signal. Seems like a rumble filter should only operate from about 18Hz down like the ones on my old int... 
Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
No I can't! And you are my new hero. I wonder how much your collection weighs?? Incredible system too. You must be the kid in the vinyl candy store. 
Scout master owners...
VPI says motor housing should be .25 inch outside of the side of the table. Mine is .50 inch. I use the stock PC cause, like you say, others don't fit under there. Just make sure you don't bump the pulley. Close tolerances there. I can't tell if m... 
Best audio cabinet for people with pets
LOL you guys. My cat doesn't bother the equipment, but he IS on my lap trying to impregnate my arm while I am trying to listen to music. 
Widest soundstage
Hee Hee, my cat sits exactly between the speakers and looks straight up. Widest soundstage? I don't listen to classical all that much, but lately I've been listening to Beethoven Symphonie NR. 5, the Berlin Philharmonic on a Duetsche Grammophon LP... 
VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries
Gingko looks good and works good. Super Feet could maybe be a little more attractive. And that Gingko cover pushes down on my lemo wire. I'm trying to figure out a way to have it sit up another half inch. My 2 cents. 
Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh
Not to forget the Klipshorn corner horn. The Eton towers pictured on my system page also move air. Klipshorn with about 20 watts, Eton more like 400. Had some great parties with those speakers when I was a bit younger. My neighbors must have been ...
