| Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to HA! Pull out Dead Can Dance or Chocteau Twins. Try figuring those out. :-) | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps Transaudio, let me explain. IME, when you put any filter in the stream you can hear the effects. Well, at least I can in my system. Woofer pumping, which we cannot hear, does cause issues in higher ranges that we can hear as distortion and or null... | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps Oh, Ralph. Are you saying my Triplanar isn't up to handling an xv-1s? | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti Mattzack2, I just took a look at the #3 kit. The birch ply is a no brainer, imo. They look fun enough to build, maybe you can play with a couple of proto builds and see which you like in your system. Careful. It can be addicting. :-)Thank you, Iso... | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti I'm an amateur woodworker also but I build horns. Still the basic idea of eliminating resonances holds true. If the box is properly braced it should not matter much what it is made of. I would only be concerned about dimensional stability with the... | |
| Tri-amped sys. speaker cable gauge question Yep, you're on the nutzoid edge. :-) I wouldn't worry about volume as to what size wire to use. Think more in terms of frequency. The lower the frequency the less it matters what wire is used. I have used in the past 14 gauge romex for drivers bel... | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" If it were my VAC, I would ask VAC. | |
| Bi-Amping 2 Interconnects or Y Cable? Thanks again, Al! | |
| Bi-Amping 2 Interconnects or Y Cable? Thanks, Al. I didn't mean to suggest a mis-match, only that IME it can change the sound, usually a reduction in bass impact. | |
| 12 volt tube amplification? I thought Bottlehead was working on something like this for car stereos. Send them an email, I bet they can point you to something.If you are looking for 12vdc for your home amp, the Berning is a good option but you'll need very high efficient spe... | |
| Bi-Amping 2 Interconnects or Y Cable? Or! You could add shunt resisters on the amp inputs. ;-) | |
| Bi-Amping 2 Interconnects or Y Cable? Perhaps Al can comment more on this but I see an issue with the simple y-adapter (been there, done that) you are going to use. When you connect both inputs of one amp to one pre out, you are changing the sensitivity because the input impedance of ... | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps It is NOT cartridge/arm mismatch. Ported speakers are a bit more susceptible to this. My old Aerial 10ts would do the woofer dance very well. Make sure your amp has enough headroom so you don't get clipping, put the covers back on the woofers. Sto... | |
| Hurricane Irene Thanks for chiming in Slipknot and Chadnliz. Chad has a nice setup. That functionality used to cost closer to $10K. I stayed with an 8 kW portable generator that runs on gas. It has electric start (you do need this!) and feeds a 10-circuit manual ... | |
| Hurricane Irene One word folks. Generac. :-) My neighbors thought I was crazy when I installed a transfer switch and generator 10 years ago at a cost of around $3000. Now, almost every house has one. It doesn't solve everything but at least I can shower with hot ... |
