| Bass Attenuation - best approach Thanks. I did buy the Lpad but decided on another approach. I traded the Martin Logan Odysseys that I've had since new, for the newer ML Theos. It has a very useable bass control rheostat and performs as well as the Odysseys in most ways and, poss... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Zd, the articles I referred to re the soldering in of resistors was as a result of my having googled a general inquiry of something like "how to connect RCA cables to pro equalizer". This was before I learned that there were pre manufactured adapt... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation I'm looking into the various pro EQ's like the DBX 321 but my experimentation just suffered a temporary hit; there will be a Christmas tree partly in front of my right speaker for awhile. I do have another question, though. In setting this up is t... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Ok, I spoke too soon re the problem using the pro audio EQ and the difficulty using it with RCA interconnects. I called Guitar Center and it turns out that they have adapter cables that allow connection to and from XLR and RCA. I'm living so far i... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Lowrider, I will do as you suggest and have started looking into the pro EQ's and how to incorporate one into my system. I guess, though, that my hope for a simple solution is dashed. I was thinking that an EQ would have simple RCA in and out conn... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Maybe I should start a separate thread for this question but I'll try it here in regard to adjusting the EQ. Now that I have the experimental equalizer in place I've been attempting to achieve the R/L balance not just for volume balance but for fr... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Thanks Pryso. I have no doubt that aids are in my future at some point and for more than just listening to music but, as I mentioned, I purchased a graphic EQ today and finished installing it about 2 hours ago. There's no doubt that an equalizer w... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Correction.....I should have stated that the range of frequencies tested was to 20K, not to 2KHz | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Ok and thanks for these observations and suggestions. I'll address the hearing aids once again first. In the last two years I've tried two different aids manufacturers and 3 different audiologists. These were high end aids costing over $9000 betwe... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Thanks, Lloyd. Both sets of hearing aids I've tried were BTE with in canal receivers. My problem seems related, at least to some degree, on the abnormally small diameter canals. We even worked with the manufacturer re tip size and material. Nothin... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Those are good thoughts and much appreciated. I tried the speaker angle approach even to the point of exaggerated positioning but the issue of right side upper level detail remained. I tried installing a 2 ohm 100W resistor in series on the right ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Yes and thanks, Jea, I see how that could have been misleading out of context. In an earlier thread that I initiated titled "directional cable- I don't get it" I questioned it in some detail. Even though I don't get it I am not knowledgeable enoug... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea, it can't be proven as far as I know and I'm interested to know how you could possibly have construed anything I've said to have been in support of the directionality or cable burn-in concepts. Please go back and read the discussion; I think i... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction When I started this thread I inadvertently pressed the "submit now" button before I completed my thought so I'll try to finish it now with the added benefit of these comments. Although I'm skeptical of the theory of directionality in a conductor, ... | |
| Apple TV R/L balance issues ZD, my room setup is as it has been for over 30 years, save a few changes in furnishings and is pretty symmetrical at least from the plane of the speakers back to my listening location. I tried switching the ICs from the Apple TV to the preamp as ... |
