| Revisiting Digital? John,If you ever get a chance to hear lossless you may just decide to give up the CDP all together. It really is that good, with a big assumption on the DAC side. ;-)Syntax,I agree, that is a good way to go. My neighbor is using one of the new HP ... | |
| Revisiting Digital? Hi Jeff,I never let digital leave. IMO there is too much good music that can be had if one does not get caught up in the format wars of old. I do plan on kicking it up a notch in my system with a digital music server and a quality DAC so that I ca... | |
| positioning of a horn speaker Ain't that always the thing?!? First, make sure it is plugged in correctly. :-) If I had a nickel for every time I have done something like this. . .Glad you found it! Enjoy. | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dertonarm, The complex system I have been referring to IS the turntable. I don't believe you are really this thick-headed. I believe you are just looking for a flame war. Try AudioAsylum, they love that stuff over there. | |
| LAST record preservative "Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in." :-)I fully believe that LAST was developed to make all of those mid-if/low-fi 'tables "sound better" back in the day. Less scratchy, less surface noise. Yeah, ok. It does that. But it does s... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Maybe we have a language barrier. I AM talking strictly facts. It is a technical fact that in order to integrate ANY system, compromises must be made. Insist all you want. You did make compromises throughout the process of designing your table. Yo... | |
| Cogent horns I joined the forum. Any forum with at thread on Romy has to be great! :-) :-) | |
| Cogent horns Thanks, Jonathan. I've probably read it but I'll do so again. I suppose OMA is even closer to me than Ontario, and I don't own a passport. ;-)BTW, did you guys do any experimenting with different driver opening sizes? Like 1" vs. 2"? | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction However - once again and for all - it is NOT nessecary in turntable design.Sorry to use a caloquialism, but I say bullshit! :-)Since we are on to the drive system in this thread let's use that. For the table that you designed. Did you not find tha... | |
| positioning of a horn speaker I agree with Neville. Move them closer together. This same issue plagued me until I moved my horns a little closer together than the distance to my listening position. For instance, I sit about 11' from the mouth of both horns and they are now abo... | |
| Cogent horns Thanks for the links, Macrojack. There is good information on horns. However, I still don't see anything that discusses the cone vs. tractrix sound. I'll do some googling.Perhaps the answers I'm looking for will only come with hearing the differen... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Ah, so now we are cutting to the chase. In the real world, there are always compromises. Even the equations that we use to model real world behavior have compromises built in. One can certainly chose which to address, but on cannot avoid accepting... | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? Shadorne, and they quite believe they are right! Maple is easy to look at, reasonably stable, easy to source, easy to machine, and easy to finish. That's it, nothing more. Well, except that in some uses people believe it sounds better. I built my ... | |
| Cogent horns Thanks for this great discussion! I don't often find much of any interest to me in this forum, but now we're talking HORNS!I apologize if I pull this discussion in a bit of a different direction from FC. I would like to hear more about the differe... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction I think one can some up the problems very simply, but I'm probably just restating what has already been posted here. As I see it the problem is not of design and proper application of physics. The real, true problem is integration. This is true of... |
