| Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers This might be a problem as the F112 has a XLR output and the E112 does not accept XLR input. I would have to use the RCA output of the E112 to input it into the F112. @chief_trojan Jensen Transformers makes a transformer that is optimized for s... | |
| Adding a sub woofer? Do you find that once you get the crossover and volume set for your system on a traditional single box sub that it doesn’t require adjustments?I might have a situation similar to yours. My speakers go to 20Hz but I have a standing wave in the r... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) So, this now 'could' mean that AES48 is not properly 'implemented' - really?@justmetoo It would not be the first time I've been wrong, not by a long shot!To meet AES48 the output of the source (preamp, in this case) does not reference ground. In... | |
| To DYI or not to DYI? Is replacing the power caps necessary?Yes.One helpful tip: When replacing electrolytic capacitors, be careful to observe polarity of the parts you remove and those you install! failure to do so will result in a damaged part- the cap will draw pow... | |
| Audio Research VS115 - click, snap -did it arc or not? Sounds like a tube arced (if you will pardon the expression) and took out the resistor. After some handling of the tubes, the arc is probably temporarily cleared, but I would not be surprised to hear that if the tube were placed back in service th... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas 3M and a few others make a butyl rubber tape that sticks to itself when you stretch it. I've not compared it to the Sumiko Analog Survival kit but it does work and does not leave a sticky mess when removed. The Triplanar has an intern... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? I found that adding the Sumiko Analog Survival kit meant that I had to use cartridges with a bit lower compliance. IOW while solving one problem another is created, like many things in life. A better solution is to start with a properly damped arm... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? The 'amp's resistor' does not make a lot of sense in this conversation. However the 'cartridge loading resistor' does and that is what I meant. If it is in place prior to the application of mechanical damping, it may well be found that the damping... | |
| Anyone prefer EL34 over 300B? The thing about SETs is that if you really want to hear what they are all about, you will want to use a speaker that is efficient enough that the amp is never run past about 20% of full power. Otherwise the amp will take on a 'dynamic' character c... | |
| Anyone hear Classic Audio T9? If I remember correctly the T3's have two woofers one for mid bass and the other for the very bottom, a built in subwoofer. Actually its simply two 15" woofers, one forward firing and the other down-firing. They both are operating on the same cir... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? What I learned there and thank's to my self developed test evaluation process was that I not even losted SPL but what I losted and that was the " culprit " of that LIFELESS were the distortion levels that gone way lower and from the " life " ca... | |
| Anyone hear Classic Audio T9? Trying to position them for optimum sound,Because of the horns, you can place the T-3s against the wall and they will image just fine- that's how I do it at home. My room is about the same size as yours and there's no question that the speakers d... | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? I'm curious whether folks out here think that standmount speakers can reward "critical listening." Absolutely!If you have such a speaker, you can get excellent bass in most rooms by using a set of Swarm subs, which are compact and meant to be dire... | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed Gloss piano black is the hardest to take care of because everything is visible. Its like having a black car. | |
| Anyone prefer EL34 over 300B? @chinnook9 Sensitivity is 2.83 volts/1 meter. Since your Tekton is 4 ohms, that means that 2.83Volts is 2 watts. In turn this means that the efficiency is actually 92dB. That is a medium efficiency and far too low to hear what a 300b amp is all ... |
