| Compression Titanium Worlds finest tweet ever engineered The foam is glued inside to the back cover of the compression driver. Also, the titanium diaphragm is coated with aquaplas for damping resonance, within the diaphragm. See the link below for a well engineered titanium compression driver.https:/... | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble Within a specific power envelope ?The other problem you deal with is of course that you get thermal compression if the speaker lacks efficiency. You can’t solve this by getting a more powerful ampNo, you can solve it by various aspects of spea... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I do not believe you can hear any difference in normal home listening from equivelant models with A/B power. The class of operation isn't important. How much feedback the amp uses *is*. This can have an enormous effect on how much and what kind o... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? having recorded a piece and so in theory has something to compare the recording to, is not really close to knowing - unless you are playing back the recording in the same room as it was recorded you get the massive variable of the Room. A recor... | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana Interesting, i was thinking of a particular mid 60,s mono recording of Istvan Kertez Dvorak,s symp #2 on london FFRR, it sounds extremely bright as if a different eq was needed.I've heard a few that are like that myself. But this was originally ... | |
| PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas (I am assuming that Raul does not work alone when conceiving of audio products or designing them.)@lewm Based on Raul's comments here its very obvious he had nothing to do with the design. IMO he's the salesman. | |
| Compression Horns for Far field listening Once you hear a FR/Compression , you'll never go back to traditional speakers. How those xover concepts lived on so so long, is a mystery to me.Lowther has been making full range drivers of high efficiency since the late 1940s.I understand the al... | |
| 4 amplifiers to drive 1 pair of speakers? Was reading up on it. How about what if I do not monostrap? Monostrap kind of puts the amplifiers in series if Im not wrong? So if I place the amplifiers at parrallel will they actually sound more musical/less harsh and heavy handed?I think you... | |
| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? ive heard of that - is it worth checking out?That is why I mentioned it in lieu of anything else. I didn't realize the budget issue. Given that, I suspect you'd have been better off having your old Technics serviced out. You can't buy much of a de... | |
| tonearm cable, do you need one? You do need a cable that is specific.The reason is capacitance, something that occurs with any interconnect cable. With a phono cartridge, which has inductance, the capacitance will form an electrical resonance. If its a high output cartridge this... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? Hey Ralph, by "ducks in a row" you mean electrical parameters and compatibility between digital source and amplifiers?Yes.You don't know what the "colorations" are. You're getting into what Floyd Toole called the circle of confusion. Take the mic... | |
| 4 amplifiers to drive 1 pair of speakers? You can monostrap stereo tube amplifiers if you are careful. But generally speaking they don't sound as good- less delicate, more heavy-handed.So a Y adapter is used at the input and the outputs are wired in parallel. However, the 16 ohm tap becom... | |
| Help! My Nakamichi LX-5 won’t play, rewind, ff, or record. I've probably repaired thousands of cassette machines over the years- I started in 1974. Nakamichis are a bit trickier to source parts but not impossible. If you plan to do this yourself be warned that you have to be careful!! I would take it to a... | |
| Compression Horns for Far field listening Now i mentioned to Richard, classical really does not have much highs,Nope. Classical has just as much in the highs as anything else.The tweeter does not act so much as to add high frequency content, rather, it seems to smooth out the frequency r... | |
| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? The new Technics SL-1200G is excellent. It has a number of high end audio turntable manufacturers shaking in their boots. |
