| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @jayctoy Here's what I was told (by Jon at Refined Audio) about building a small sealed box for a pair of Cube Audio Drivers: "I have a <slight> preference for the presentation of the 8” Neo over the 10” Neo.. Not sure where/how you would c... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @tkukielk They look great! Thanks so much! | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? @nmmusicman I also really enjoyed those caps (used them as pre-amp output capacitors). A little bass shy in that location on my system, but not an issue at all for crossover duties. They have a beautiful, rich, and silky presentation. Humble hifi... | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? Two capacitor threads in a row!If you haven't run into it already, humblehifi's capacitor information has always been spot on in my experience.http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html And boy do they charge you, but Duelund Tinned-Copper CASTs a... | |
| Caps Jantzen Standard--z vs ClarityCap ESA Another vote for whatever humblehifi says. He has great ears and mine hear exactly what he writes. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? Thanks. Could you perhaps post a link to a Google drive file (or similar)? | |
| Internal Wire Gauge? Agreed with @oldhvymec on the use of solid core. Stranded blurs the sound in my experience. I had a preamp and took Duelund's tinned-copper in oiled cotton, compared one input with the original 16ga wire to another with a single strand of the ti... | |
| Your thoughts on my plans.. Looks like you're off to an excellent start. Just be careful running a second set of speakers off your AVR. The same amp will be driving both speakers, so if you've got two 4 ohm speakers, that'll be a 2 ohm load for the amp, and the 4 ohm spec ... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @tkukeilk Congrats! What a great outcome. How much did Salk charge for the cabinet construction? I've been thinking about building my own as well, but was just planning on buying a 12" sealed box from Dayton Audio. And any way for us to see a ... | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Congrats! Always great to read this type of post. | |
| DEBRA / SWARM DSP? My only complaint is that the minidsp (and the Dayton amps) have a low input impedance (8 kohms I think) and can be difficult for some preamps to drive. If you've got a tube preamp with output capacitors, you'll want to be careful they're big eno... | |
| DEBRA / SWARM DSP? I have two sets of outputs on my pre-amp. One goes to my main amps, the other to the minidsp. One minidsp output then goes to a dayton with two 8-ohm subs connected in series (front and left). The other does the same, but runs the right and rear s... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO @taylor02 There's a 45 day trial period for the Evo. I'd love to hear the comparison if you make the plunge. | |
| DEBRA / SWARM DSP? I have a miniDSP 2x4HD on my 4 sub array with the same amplifiers (thanks so much Duke!). As MC states, you'll be limited to one set of DSP settings per amplifier. Perhaps not ideal, but in the end you're really correcting for 1 listening positi... | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else @opm Nelson Pass has some amplifiers that are 2nd harmonic dominant (many of the First Watt offerings) and some that are 3rd harmonic dominant (the XA25). He's found that roughly 1/3rd of listeners prefer each, and 1/3 don't differentiate. Any ... |
