| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Hi @thuchan ,Did you have an experience with DD EMT turntables (950, 948, 938)?Regards,Alex. | |
| What country builds the best audio equipment? Germany - EMT turntables (models 927, 930, 950, 948). Klangfilm - speakers and amplifiersUSA - Altec, JBL, Klipsch speakers. Marantz, McIntosh amplifiers, pre-amplifiers.UK - Quad, Tannoy, Lowther, Herbath, Spendors speakers. Quad, Leak - amplifie... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver In my specific case it is 15 degree. I measured it.You want supertweeter will add more high frequencies over 10KHz. If the angle is more than 30 degree it seems to be not good. | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver Werner Jagusch autotransformers:https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Autotransformer-fur-Hornspeaker-Altec-JBL-Klipsch-Crossover/223950366633?hash=item34247b67a9:g:gTsAAOSwqOdd3PKr Makes super tweeter load very mild for amplifier.For example if you use F... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver In my case adding T90a tweeters didn't change tonal balance too muchbut made sound much more refined.Not just added air, soundstage and high frequency extension (as was expected), but also made better separation, more realistic tone of instruments... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver My speakers Altec 604E. These speakers have high frequency extension just up to 12KHz.I did experiments with back of ceiling firing tweeters. I used Morel MDT30 tweeters with 1st order filter. The effect of back of ceiling firing was like a sali... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver I use Fostex T90 forward-firing with Altec 604E.This combination works great.I use first order crossover and Werner Jagusch auto-transformer to decrease output of super-tweeters. I use 1uF AN Copper capacitors. I’m not sure they are the best for t... | |
| MONTREAL AUDIOFEST Is POSTPONED Although we approve this wise decision, it is with sadness that we welcome the decision of the Government of Quebec to limit or ban public gatherings of over 250 people in Quebec until further notice.We all invested time and money in this projec... | |
| Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room The relative humidity is 44%.It should be OK. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? Probably it is the question of combination of specific: DAC, LPS, home electricity and power supply design of other components (CD transport, amplifier, preamplifier) . | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? I used MCRU LPS with my Chord 2qute.The result was a very odd, unbalanced, not organic, unmusical sound.I read a number of other people reported similar bad results with LPS.Yes, there are more positive reviews about usage LPS with Chord DACs.But ... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? All transistor amplifiers (except class A) have thermal distortions (similar to low sensitivity box speakers). The transistors parameters change with changing of temperature. This distortions have inertia. As result you can't fix these distorti... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Low sensitivity is a trade-off small size and deep bass to bigger size and not as deep bass.Low sensitivity causes thermal compression that makes heavy, constrained, tiresome sound.High sensitivity speakers, in contrast, produce easy going sound l... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I use Chord Qutest with "white" filter.It sounds natural, not cold or harsh.But I use 300B SET amplifier that typically sounds smooth and warm.Here are some videos: https://youtu.be/e_fpf8TivMAhttps://youtu.be/K3aMCNAD3C8https://youtu.be/mpozf8b8C... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Which 6sn7 do you have?Modern production of vintage?Try Ken-Rad vt231 black glass from 40x. They are great and not crazy expansive. |
