| Correct Way to Invert Phase We've had a polarity switch on our preamps since their inception in 1989. IME you can really only hear a minor difference if you have a 2 or 3 mic recording; anything multitracked or multimiked will sound the same in either polarity. | |
| Need Help Locating Schematics for Bedini 100/100 This amp is not that complicated. A competent tech should be able to sort it out. Both channels dead is likely a power supply problem. Blown fuse, damaged circuit breaker, stuff like that. You checked the fuse of course?? | |
| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars That is about as big a room as I would attempt to use. 83dB is is *very* low sensitivity! How old is the BEL? If older than 25 years, you really might want to consider getting the filter capacitorss in the power supply replaced. It will sound bett... | |
| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading Everyone who reads this thread could report the OP for trolling. I've done my part. Now everyone here do theirs. Otherwise you can't complain as he continues to troll. The 'report' feature is a link in the bottom right hand of each post. Just clic... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world as much as that which relates to added headroom; performance gains at a similar SPL compared to a smaller/less powerful system due to less cone movement and wattage put through the voice coils, and therefore less distortion and cleaner bass. O... | |

| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world for those wanting to take the bar even higher a bigger scale will be advantageous. IME what this often means has something to do with sound pressure. Certainly its no worries building subs that go deeper, can do greater sound pressure and the like... | |
| Total bass suck out at 40hz I have audible base to below 30 hz, just none at 40. My room is long and narrow, equipment is set up on narrow wall. 14' x 38'.@mizike The phenomena you are dealing with is called a Standing Wave. When the bass comes out of your speakers, before... | |
| Rega Planar 3 hum resolve. @The Grado hum is easily corrected by grounding the motor to the tonearm. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Moreover: if this (i.e.: DBA) was truly about physics and adhering to that, it’s conspicuous that the sheer size and displacement area of subs isn’t taken more into consideration.Uh... it is.The size of the subs *has* been taken into considerati... | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl You might have a power problem. I saw a situation once where a tube power amplifier drew enough power that when the preamp was on the phono, it was possible for the amp to drain the AC line so far that the preamp started to shut down. That caused ... | |
| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread Studebaker made some excellent cars which are real eye candy, and they have quite a following in the vintage car world. The Avanti is superlative and the Hawk are some pretty classy rides- I'd love to get my hands on one of either!! The Avanti wa... | |
| Dynaco Stereo 120 If this amp has a circuit the same as the original ST-120, one of the reasons it can sound as nice as it can is that it makes a fair amount of 2nd ordered harmonic. This, and the 3rd, if in sufficient amount, can mask the higher orders to a certai... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Steve's point, and it's one I've seen mentioned many times previously at shows and demos, is that better more revealing systems will often only serve to make most recordings sound worse. Regarding this comment, I've found that the better systems... | |
| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread Last call for those tube linestage gems ! ~ 4.5 K or so- Transparency, timbre and holographic soundstage If you can find one of our MP-3 line stage preamps used you should be able to pick it up in that price range or less. They have direct couple... |
