| Pleasurably better, not measurably better I am on track with your thinking and have often felt the same way. Getting the sound accurately reproduced is really just the beginning. What I have recently experienced is a build that has a lot more bass detail and yet at the same time is bass h... | |
| Subs And The Downstairs Neighbors I wonder if Rythmic sells a sub that would be right for you at the price range you want. I made mine for $700, minus the cabinet that I just happened to have, but it is a 12" model. They may have a put together kit or assembled in your price range. | |
| A Question About Time Alignment jerryg123, That tonearm is way above what I saw. Again, if the right machines are available, that could push me over the edge. Would it be correct to say that some form of time alignment starts at the source? | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build timlub, As far away from society as possible, but not far enough. Actually, a little cow town near Cody Wyoming. Ok, I just gotta' say you got me interested. | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room Perhaps it was mentioned, and I missed it, but I would be tempted to try Listening at a closer range than usual. I can't hardly think of a worse situation than trying fil a large room without an incredible amount of room interaction. I did have... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment I think that if you have the machines and knowledge, it would be possible. I wouldn't be able to get there, lacking in both. I did see a local guy who built his own tonearm using wood. I think that he understood the concept, but the wood taug... | |
| CD player suggestions... ampus, I did like how robust that my ERC3 was, but then the troubles started. One of the RCA outputs Wasn't reliable, so I used the balanced outs with an adapter. Later on, I decided to try one of the digital outs. The RCA digital out did not wo... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment ghdprentice, I mostly agree, yet it can be at least entertaining to DIY for some things. I would NOT dare to make a decent TT complete with arm! When there is a proven design that can be counted on, (usually speakers in my case) I am encou... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build As an ending statement, I would like to thank those who helped with this question. I remain fascinated by what I found at DIY Audio. Sometimes site will just supply an overwhelming amount of info, but that was not the case here! There is a very we... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build holmz, You can see my build of the DNA2 on my systems page. There would be room for a tweeter at the top, above the woofer. Jasper makes my favorite circle jig for routers. erik_squires, Yah, that makes sense. I will continue with questi... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build holmz, Points well taken. I really like your idea of an active crossover though. I have done it in the past, but not with quite as good results as I would have liked. The development was by engineer friend of mine who set the frequencies and ... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Wow, just wow. I never would have dreamed that this topic could be so 'diverse'. I read one post after another, saying one thing only to be roughly corrected by the next couple of posts. I suppose that my take here is that you want the drivers ... | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build Unfortunately, I do not. That is a very good question. It is likely that I will have to trust the design of the crossover that I choose, not to mention the tweeter. Looks like this may be over my head. I am a builder of speaker cabinets and 'prove... | |
| Cost break down of hifi system navyachts, I used a bit of psychology on my wife when we first got married. I made sure to have the most unacceptable hi-fi system imaginable in the living room. Unfinished speakers, system set up in one corner of the room diagonally, etc. It WA... | |
| CD player suggestions... Soley out of curiosity, I own one of the Emotiva CD3 players and unfortunately have little good to say about it. If I could, I would like to try yet another DAC with it, specifically the AudioQuest Dragon Red. Being as the AQ only allows for USB c... |
