| Distributed Bass Array configuration @mike_in_nc place a phone call to Duke Lejuene at AudioKinesis who manufactures the Swarm which he'll tell you was based on a theory by Earl Geddes. If you search the web I think there is also a white paper out there by Earl that explains the conc... | |
| Emission Labs Tube Warranty Problems @bigsecret, was this ever resolved? | |
| Transcendent T16 OTL amp - bias question (& general tips) Why not call Transcendent, I'm pretty sure Bruce can tell you how to bias them. | |
| Is Spiral Groove still in business? I did some checking and it appears the email that @saburo posted is the best way to reach Allen. He may be a consultant for MoFi now according to the person I checked with. | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it Willy Hermann is one of the best but his backlog these days is a good year out when I checked with him late last year. His fees will range based on what your deck needs. | |
| Is Spiral Groove still in business? While I cannot comment of the status of the company I know Allen moved out of Berkeley and I believe is living on the East Coast now. He was a member of the SFAS and one of the members has his turntable. I will see if I can get contact information... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it I'd stick with the Maxelkl XL-II. It was always my go to tape with any deck including my Nak 550. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity While I am sure the Mye stands are excellent, there is another person who also makes stands for Maggies. The company is Magnarisers and while I do not own Maggies I was impressed enough with the stands and their price that I contacted him to make ... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? Which MkII do you have, the fixed bias version (you set the bias) or the cathode bias version (amp sets the bias)? I ask because all fixed bias MkIIs are well over 3 years old (mine is at least 15) to my knowledge. A cathode bias version may be wi... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? From what I can decipher from Roger's schematic (which has a series of iterative changes written in pencil on it), BOM, and notes it is an electrolytic power supply filter capacitor, 33 uF/350V. As I said previously, the OP should replace it with ... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? It’s a Music Reference RM-10 and he should use the exact value for the replacement. I can't remember the brand that Roger used, we may still have some lying around, but the Nichicon’s pointed out by George are a good choice and should fit inside. ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 Yes I realize the LFT-8b has just a woofer, and not an active sub. My bass array are just woofers too, based on the woofers Roger Modjeski used in his ESL system. His theory was to keep the crossover point low from the panel to the woofer, ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity My list of active crossovers includes:Marchand XM-44Beveridge RM-3Accuphase F-25With each of these I have the flexibility for different slopes and frequencies. I can also attenuate (Beveridge, Accuphase, Marchand) or add gain (Marchand). I've used... | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? @dbxrecord who cares. This has been a pretty useless thread. You are obviously trying to take a poke at another manufacturer's product with the hope you will get gobs of people to agree with your point of view while pimping your products feature s... | |
| Opinion on audio note kit dac 5.1 or 4.1 I built the 4.1x recently and it displaced my Lessloss DAC 2000 MkII in my system. The Lessloss was in my system for 13 years, so to me it was an excellent DAC using one of the best DAC chips ever and implementing it well in the circuit. The 4.1x ... |
