| Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true? Thanks to all for your comments, some of them are really funny, keep the coming! While there is a possibility of an improvement by shorting or completing the circuit of unused speakers in a same room, I ask, how much it cost to do it? , it probabl... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs Thanks Jim for your suggestions, what surprises me is that most swarm users use only one of the same Dayton 1000 amp for the four subs. My room is medium size 23 x 14 x 10 and i do not listen to more than 90 db at the sweetspot. Will check what R... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs Hi, I have owned two Vandy 2wq subs for almost 10 years, they integrate very well with my Gradfent Revolution mains (passive version). About a year ago i read about the swarm DBA system and decided to add two passive 10 inch B&W sw10 subs wi... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Empire brand of cartridges? @fuzztone ¨They stopped making them 1990. No one stocks reasonable $$ replacement styluses.Just use it until worn down if not already.¨Have you tried the replacements from Lp gear already? I,m about to get it for a worn Empire 750LTD and the vit... | |
| PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas @dover ¨The turntables he uses as a reference are midfi in my view. ( The Micro Seikis and Direct Drives ¨ When I have heard Raul,s system he has mostly used two Acoustic signature belt drives. Only once I think I heard his Micro seiki 5000 ... | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana @atmasphere Exactly, i have all of that Dvorak--Kertez cycle on stereo (which sound very good) except for that particular record on mono. Tried it with both ortofon 2m se mono cart and AT33 mono using RIAA with my ARCph3 phonostage and with both ... | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana @atmasphere ¨All mono releases after 1958 are on the RIAA curve¨Interesting, i was thinking of a particular mid 60,s mono recording of Istvan Kertez Dvorak,s symp #2 on london FFRR, it sounds extremely bright as if a different eq was needed. | |
| PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas @dover I have heard Raul,s tonearm at his house probably about 2 years ago. At that time he had that one and 2 other similar ones that he mentioned me where prototypes. All i can say is that it was top notch sounding, that time he was using one... | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana @atmasphere Only the RIAA curve is used for stereo LPs. The LP mastering electronics do not have a provision for changing the curve- they are pretty picky about it- my electronics are matched to my cutter head. Yes but what about mono records fro... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? @rauliruegas "If you can connect a decent amplifier maybe coming from one of your friends instead the Dayton and se what happens.¨The think with the Dayton is that it is also a sub x over preamp, but i will check out if its possible to bypass it a... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? Thanks Ralph @atmasphere , so it seems like there is a good chance for improvement since you said before ¨If the RCA outputs are in parallel with the balanced outputs on your preamp then what you describe makes sense. If it were me I'd be using th... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? Thanks @atmasphere and @rauliruegas for the advice. It in not that I get hum, is just that with the dayton sub amp I get minimal white noise at around 120 hz and what i think is a higher noise floor. My bryston preamp only has one balanced and one... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? @atmasphere Hi Ralph , i have the same question as mitch2 , in my case my preamp is Bryston Bp25 and take balanced output to the amp and the single ended to a Dayton 1000 subwofer amp (for a Swarm sub configuration). I,ve noticed that I get a hig... | |
| Luxman releasing a MC cart in Japan Hi , i bought from Raul his LMC1, is a very good cartridge, I use it with an Entre et100 SUT using the 3 ohms setting and an ARC ph3 phonostage and have more than enough gain no problem. According to vinyl engine and to what Raul mentioned me it h... | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. EMT has also OEM the Roksan Shiraz cartridge, Brinkmann and Einstein, my 2 cents. Great post Chakster |
