| Fidelity Hi Tim,I would generally agree with many points that Uppremidfi has made but make the definition even more concise. "Fidelity" would refer to the ability of the system to faithfully reproduce what has been captured in the recording. We assume (hop... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Hi Mitch,As I recall, Fabio had a bunch of Krell gear that TWO sets of Infinity IRS Series V speakers! I presume one set was for front channels and the other set was for the rear channels. Unfortunately, the room that the system was in seemed to h... | |
| Hardwoodfloors and Spikes Hi Lextek,Using any type of rigid mount (such as a cone or spike, a slab of stone or wood, a rigid metal stand) will send unwanted vibration down into the floor from the speaker and the vibration will travel towards the stand which holds the elect... | |
| What is clipping? Hi Rajmago,Your speakers have a recommended power rating as stated in their literature. These figures are only guidelines for matching to your amplifier or receiver. The speakers can actually accept much more peak power than the specification in... | |
| Alternatives to the Thiel Outriggers? Hi Uncontop,Mounting your speaker on a rigid support, such as a spike or a cone or a single slab of rigid material, will allow vibration to travel out of the speaker and down through the floor towards the equipment rack. This is a significant prob... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Hi Nrchy,Please do not get the impression that I am trying to argue with you - I am not. My comments are directed more towards all of the readers of this thread, not only the people that post. Some may not be aware that a platform that only is des... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Hi Elizabeth,A "tweak" is usually considered an accessory device or a set up procedure that allows a component or system to achieve a higher degree of performance. The basic components of a system that are required for operation are not considered... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Hi Nrchy,You are quite right that hospitals, labs and observatories are trying to place their equipment in the best surroundings to perform their specific tasks. My point is that the devices in the lab are different by their nature as is the envir... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Hi All,Brainwater thank you for your kind comments.Dmttrydr Some of the most likely prevailing theories suggest that eddy currents and hysteresis distortion are created when vibration is present within an electronic component. Both of these co... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Hi Dazzdax,If an accessory, such as a vibration control device, actually eliminates the problem (as opposed to merely changing the resonant frequency of the component or altering how the resonances are being distributed in a component) the result ... | |
| Standing in the shadows of.... Hi Kgveteran,Yes! It was GREAT! To hear those great musicians playing together again was phenomenal.Joan Osbourne was terrific but they could have left Bootsy Collins off of the project as far as I am concerned.Best,Barry Kohan | |
| The tweeter on my speaker has a crater...Help Hi All,Whether the dome is able to be returned to the original shape will depend on the material from which it is constructed. Most Monitor Audio speaker use metal dome tweeters. Once a metal dome is damaged (pushed in or creased) it can never be ... | |
| X250 Isolation? Hi Mitch,We have not yet found an audio or video component that does not benefit from the proper application of vibration control. Please remember that the sand filling in your rack only damps the ringing of the metal framework. It does not provid... | |
| Wood Cones, JVC EX-A1 $550 Hi All,Ooops. Please disregard that last post by me. I had read about the sake soaked speaker cones, but when I saw Slappy's post I temporarily went brain dead and forgot that the article was about speaker cones and not cones that go under equipme... | |
| Wood Cones, JVC EX-A1 $550 Hi Slappy,Yes, I read about this a while ago. At first, I think we will all get a small chuckle out of it. Actually, the fact that soaking a wooden cone in sake makes the cone perform differently than a non-soaked cone shows the insidious nature o... |
