| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver Hi @akwilson501 ,What kind of capacitor do you use?The capacitor quality and jumper wire quality is very import too.I prefer paper in oil capacitors for smother sound.Regards,Alex. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive After Lenco I use EMT 948.It is a number of levels over Lenco and Nottingham Spacedeck.Other my friend audiophile and musicant (flute player solist and conservatorio teacher) threw away his heavy platter Sota turntable after buying EMT 950 DD turn... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I had Nottingham Spacedeck and moved to heavy plinth Lenco 78 with SME 3009mk2 tonearm.Lenco won in term of PRaT, piano and organ tone, better bass, better instrument separation, more musical. No rumble.And Lenco wasn’t expensive High End turntabl... | |
| 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 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... |
