| Holy Crap What have I done? The capacitor input to the main amp is just a line level passive crossover. (Marchand sells those too). With only 6 dB (gradual) roll off it will not provide solid bass in the range above the 65 Hz that you propose. I would suggest that people try... | |
| Is it Audio, or is it Art? Onhwy61....True...I myself don't wear any watch at all except when I go out of town on a trip. (But when I do it's a Timex). Don't get me wrong: it's perfectly OK by me if people want to wear a beautiful braclet rather than a timepiece. So too in ... | |
| Holy Crap What have I done? Jafox...I beg to differ with you about running main speakers full range and letting their natural bass rolloff occur. Of course the obvious reason not to do this is to keep the LF signal out of the main power amp. But it's good to keep the LF out ... | |
| Is it Audio, or is it Art? The watch example is perfect. A $24 Timex keeps time within a few seconds per year. If keeping time is what you want, spending more than $24 is foolish. Of course there are beautiful watches that cost a lot more, but they are not about telling tim... | |
| Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music inpepinnovations@aol.com...The control signal for the PL1000 functions is L+R. To the extent that rear channel noise spectrum is similar to front channels your hook up will work. What I am talking about is putting a PL1000 between the decoder and ... | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker Sensitivity is more often quoted these days, and for solid state amplifiers it is more appropriate. Sensitivity is dB per 2.86 volts, which is one watt for an 8 ohm speaker and 2 watts for a 4 ohm speaker. The reason it is appropriate is that for ... | |
| Holy Crap What have I done? What is the crossover frequency? I think the Marchand XM9 uses a plug in module. Marchand X/O are fine sounding units, so you must have some setup thing wrong. | |
| Is it Audio, or is it Art? Gregm...Agree that the example I used, Chord, does look like something out of a steam engine factory, but that "goes with" high end turntables. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.My point is that the artistic aspect of high end equipment is sepa... | |
| how do i make a 50V power supply? Where are Heathkits when we need them! | |
| Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music inpepinnovations@aol.com...Apparently we have been on parallel tracks. I also have a Lafayette SQ-L decoder and two Phase Linear 1000. The PL 1000 is controlled by the A+B mono signal, so if you want to use one for the rear channels (where it real... | |
| how do i make a 50V power supply? I presume you want + and - 50 volts DC for an amplifier project. If so, you don't want a transformer that puts out 50 volts AC. When you rectify and filter the transformer output the DC voltage will be near the peak of the AC waveform, which would... | |
| Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music inpepinnovations@aol.com...I too have matrix multichannel capability, and it is true that you can run a stereo CD signal through it and make noise from the rear channels. Your point is well taken. Actually, the big problem with quadraphonic LPs wa... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Kck...Below 100 Hz is probably a range where EQ is badly needed. The DEQ2496 suggests that the automatic equalization may not work well below 80 Hz, but for me it works fine.Here are a couple of suggestions. 1...If you want more bass, turn up the ... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Benjamin7...Actually, while an equalizer is undoubtedly the best way to rebalance the sound of a particular disc, it is not very convenient. Tone controls (remember those) are best for this purpose. They are also rejected by many audiophiles who a... | |
| CDP clicks between tracks.and at the begininning?? Clicks happen. In my case they are rare, and never happen during the music, so I will live with them. |
