hudsonhawk OP113 posts02-23-2021 9:38pm@speakermaster Great question and a detail I forgot to mention is that i did decouple the speakers by adding Isoacoustics Gaia feet to the speakers. It didn’t make as big of a difference for the bass as I... 
Driver breakin period, what’s the science?

Driver breakin period, what’s the science?
Almost all the break-in occurs, at reasonably loud volume, in the first 5-10 minutes. If you still hate them after that period of time, then you hate them, though keeping them will cause your brain to change far more than the speakers.However, cha...

glupson7,081 posts02-23-2021 11:47ammillercarbon,Shortly afterwards, you crushed it all by implying you somehow had access to check if my purchasing history was correct. Unless you hacked into my e-mail account and saw confirmation e-mail, you ar...

+1 on gearslutz, you will find far more acoustics experience there.

Magnepans don't magically solve bass nodes unfortunately, however, adding a couple more subwoofers, some electronics for integration, and playing with speaker placement may.  That may get your lowest nodes under control, and then you can work on t...

erik_squires10,600 posts02-22-2021 10:33amI just looked at your waterfall. That's not your speakers! That solid green line at 120 is background noise. More likely either your equipment or something like an AC running. Bang on erik. It is pretty ...

bdp247,207 posts02-21-2021 11:53Not even mentioned are the compromises made in mastering and LP production in the old days. Bass was routinely rolled off below 100Hz (or summed to mono---or both), and compression was applied to reduce dynamic r... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
Given the price of high end audio equipment, if you are doing 1K units a year, 3 year design, 3000 units, you could amortize the $100K design cost, at $33/unit additional.  Most audio companies would be best off contracting that out.  Hypex does t... 
The guru on fuses:
Well I have listened, and have "made" many audiophile friends listen to, on their system, with their boutique fuses, and my generic new ones. Not once, literally not once could they pick out the boutique fuse blind in a power supply circuit. That ...
