| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten The Herbies Giant Gliders with an isolation shelf makes sense as a 90% solution, especially with carpet. Since I'm on a budget, the law of diminishing returns and value has to be obeyed. Did you say you were using some one off composi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Coaxial midrange/tweeter drivers for car audio have time alignment issues but don't sound terrible. My suspicion is that powerful bass frequencies travel all through the cabinet ricocheting of end points and arrive at midrange drivers as spurious ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Oh the many similarities between microwave and audio. Speed of light ~ speed of sound, waveguide/cavity modes ~ room modes and case in point, electrical ~acoustical reflection coefficient and energy coupling.When it comes to speaker isolation, the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten really enjoying that John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman. When Bad Plus gets too busy, I move to Bill Evans. My LM508 does a respectable job with stand up bass but I'm still looking for a sub to pressurize the room for that captivating c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts On the subject of kids, currently I've got the DI's in a dedicated listening room and will make it even more so dedicated with GIK panels and traps. As I think back to my childhood, dad always had the music playing in the main kitchen/family room ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom, I think you'll really like "Do it again" and "Gold Prisms" off Inevitable Western and "Beauty has it hard" and "Dirty Blonde" from the Joshua Redman album. I also enjoy the Made Possible and Never Stop albums. In the same vein, I really like ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten not many suspensionless bikes grab my attention but who needs suspension with tires like that. Could be the ultimate comfort trail bike as long as your not facing big drops. Here in the Santa Clarita area we have plenty of big rocks and... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten that lead sled is still really cool. Bikepacking is really catching on and I totally get it. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Whoops, Greg you got the fast one :) | |
| Tekton Double Impacts My 2014 Trek Fuel 29er is somewhere between @david_ten racer and @greg22lz bike packer. Greg, love Annadel Park for mtbing. That orange clay can be tough to scrub off the tires. Hopefully it didn't all go up in smoke.https://www.bicyclebluebook.c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts LOL, the sedentary time this hobby generates has to balanced somehow. Good for you Corelli, for me it's the treadmill.@mac Makes sense the footers would transfer less vibration when under less compression, hence the benefit for the larger Gaia I's... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yes, more confirmation that these feet might really be worth it. The non-SE owners should be ok saving some money on the GAIA II 120 lb limit (14 lb margin) for the standard DI's. Thanks for the report | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia? Another plug for Taylor at Goldprint. He helped me out validating my unit without a sale on the table. Great guy. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia? Another vote for the LM508. Purchased used and certainly have been impressed. This amps digs deep especially with Psvane 805 T/2 tubes. Instruments and vocals have presence in true SET amp fashion. I'll be happy to stay put. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks guys. The NOS 6SU7GTY in the 6SL7 spot and the Psvane 805's made a significant improvement. Some Gaia isolation footers and pucks ought to tighten up bass and kick drums. Percussive jazz like The Bad Plus really grooves with the extra power. |
