| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? The TS parameters for bass driver being used in a horn is very different from the same sized driver used elsewhere. For example, the surround of the driver is much stiffer (typically a cloth material), since the cone moves very little. +/- 1/16 wa... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? As much as I have enjoyed reading through this thread, I couldn't help but remember when Velodyne made subs that used an accelerometer on the woofer cone, allowing it to be 'corrected' by the sub amp 3,500 times per second (maybe that is the way ... | |
| What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away I tried to hook up with Stripe, and got into a mess. Seems that Stripe collects it's user fees by means of a third party, "NEXWAY". Probably by checking a box unintentionally, my PP credit account was charged for $329. That got me pretty excited. ... | |
| Problems with Paypal payment? Am I understanding that Audiogon is now advising us to use a different transaction method besides PP? I took this advice a few days ago, followed the Agon link, and now am starting a dispute with 'NEXWAY'. If this sounds familiar to anyone, please... | |
| Help me build a $2,500 system One aspect to getting the most for your money is to build your own speakers, if you have the ability. I have been doing it for years, and have enjoyed sound far beyond the cost of this effort. Also, as probably mentioned, buy good used equipment. | |
| How many amps do you own? Currently, there are about 4 amps, but 2 of them are low dollar temporary amps while I am experimenting with a Forte' model 3. It won't be even close to the original amp when finished, due to having to replace output transistors, power capacitors,... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Simply said, there is a lot of gear that I miss so much for various reasons. One component that has endured for occasional use is a rebuilt Carver C-9 Sonic Holographic Unit. There are times that it's effects can't be beat and there are times when... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement Having left the unit on for 24 hours after putting in the new Gold Lion ECC82, I decided that this enough time for a better listen to the unit in my system. I am not stating a very long review because I only listened to one album, bot before and a... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement Couldn't resist. Got a Gold Lion re-issue on the way from the Tube Store. After it arrives, I will be ready for it to audition. If I don't care for it, on we go to another tube. Second choice will be a special selected GE from Antique Audio Tubes?... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement I do appreciate your honesty, and understand how tube rolling would make a difference. No doubt, I will be trying an RCA tube soon enough. RCA impresses me if the tube is well selected by the seller for performance, noise, and so forth. FWIW, I ch... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement HA! I have found one thing that bugs me. Seems that a spot of silver paint on each knob will give me 'at a glance' idea of where the knob is positioned. Can't see them well enough unless all the lights are on. What this actually means is that I ha... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? And then, you get people who think they know what you are all about. Occasionally, they will come over and offer some free crap to you as if it is some kind of gift. Not to be ugly, but just last week a good friend of mine came over with a Sound D... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? I really do wish that there WASN'T break in for speakers. No doubt, some more than others, have a distinct amount of change. Yes, I do try to 'adjust' my hearing or impression at first, just so I can listen to some music, but if a driver has a mid... |
