| Why MDF so Bad??? thanks for the suggestion Les: I believe that material is called HDF, for high density fiberboard | |
| Synergistic Research Luminescence Phase II the only way to compare these cables is in your own rig. Any other rig synergises differently; the reactance charactaristics of your equipment & how they interact with the cabling is different for each & every rig out there, so the sonic s... | |
| Help needed from Spectral preamp owners Bypass the dealer; try contacting Spectral yourself & ask. | |
| Tubes or Cables to Tune Sound? do both.Also consider that a cable change is more permenent than a tube roll. When a tube wears out, then you may never be able to replicate that again, "identical" spares notwithstanding. | |
| VPI Magic Brick or Webster's Dictionary Depending upon the desire for mass loading or absorbtion of interfering magnetic fields, either device may have its' place. These are two separate issues. The VPI may combine the effects, but is apparently technically challenged in the EMI absorbt... | |
| Amplifier speaker relay problems. Guy this is so easily fixed. All you need to do is burnish the relay's normally open contacts, which are now dirty & degraded from the years of use. Go to Radio Shack or check their website for a relay contact burnishing tool. These are like a... | |
| Review: Ernie M's Power Box Joe now you know why Ern's the guru ala Subaru! | |
| Why MDF so Bad??? Hi Bruce et al thanks for your valuable input.I fully agree with the "posting our experiences" philosophy.Zargon: from what I've read (I have not tried it myself) the long grain should run horizontally for best results with maple vs. the vertical ... | |
| FM Reception question, please inp that may be stretching things just a bit, but the quality of your downlead coax cable will in fact influence the Q of your received signal. Quad shielded RG-6 coax (available from Radio Shack) is typically the preferred approach. | |
| Battle of the "Davids"......Belles vs. Berning no doubt, sam "everything is class A" tellig will give it a boost.Sam sure had me fooled with his stellar review of the 350A. That amp didn't synergize AT ALL in my own rig; BIG disappointment & that's a radical understatement. Can't compare w... | |
| How should I handle this? Request that the dealer pay for testing &/or any repair as needed. He should also replace the silicon at his expense. | |
| 12 Volt Cable Burn In? The breaking suggestion may indeed have some merit, but you'll never know unless you try it. | |
| AudioPrism CD Stoplight & Auric illuminator work? Heard several recommendations in favor of Auric Illuminator so I decided to try it myself. The spray alone hurt the HF attack transients & softened prettty much everything across the band. The marked pen made the HF's quite strident & unpl... | |
| Tone changes with volume Like Bo says: you're hearing the well known Fletcher-Munson curve effect, which is a bell-curve peaking in the midrange area. Your hearing seems quite normal to me too. | |
| Why MDF so Bad??? do you think I'm better putting the rack directly in the middle of the 2 speakers or leaving the rack a bit behind the speakers...I would think that the rack placed somewhat behind the speakers is the more typical approach, but with the rear firin... |
