| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Lrsky...Seriously, if it really takes three months to machine your chunk of aluminum you are not doing it right. Although you may not see a need to lower the price of your product, think of what it would do for your profit margin if you could cran... | |
| Using Y-adapter to duplicate preamplifier outputs Kr4...No Kal. The low impedance SS amp will draw more current from the preamp, but the voltage will be the same at both amp inputs. If you doubt this, make some measurements. The loading of the preamp will be the same regardleass of whether the po... | |
| I thought you might get a good chuckle over this Jea48...All "Hi Fi" pickups were magnetic. Far and away the most widely used was the GE pickup, which had both a 33 (microgroove") and a 78 stylus which could be rotated into use by a knob on the top. I think that frequency response was OK, 20 to ... | |
| I thought you might get a good chuckle over this The "Rolloff at 10K" does not mean that there is no HF on playback. The record equalization scheme (when the record is cut), attenuates LF and boosts HF. When the record is played, LF needs to be boosted, and HF needs to be attenuated. At one time... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Dirtyragamuffin...Ideally the room dimensions and shape and decorations can be designed as an ideal listening room. Rives audio provides info on how to do this.Unfortunately most of us live in houses that serve other purposes than audio, and are a... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Dirtyragamuffin...The problem is that unless you use earphones, or listen with the same speakers and room as the engineer did you don't hear what he did. | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Lawdog_949...There are no pots in a Behringer DEQ2496. | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Marakanetz...Actually, marble isn't good...it rings. It looks nice. A layered construction, for example using styrofoam and sheetrock, is pretty good. There is also a material, the name of which escapes me, which is like styrofoam but with the pla... | |
| Traps vs Equalizer Rives audio, who are experts at this business, say that room treatments are effective for high frequency problems (350 Hz and up), but low frequency problems need active equalization, and they sell a highly regarded equalizer to do the job. Not ch... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow We can debate the veracity of some claims made for DK stuff, but one claim, that it takes three months to machine one enclosure, is absurd. An automated machining facility such as the reviewer cites, ought to be able to knock off several per day, ... | |
| Can't tell if LP's are stereo or mono from ads Same thing for CDs. But it's usually obvious that, for example, Benny Goodman 1937 Broadcast recoprdings will be mono. | |
| Magnepan 2.7QR owners...please. Maggie MG1.6 come with 1 ohm resistors (attenuators). The instructions say that the speakers are flat without the resistors, but, because many recordings are equalized with a "hot" high end to compensate for rolled off speakers, it may be desirabl... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? OK Sam! A good posting.I guess it's time for me to "disclaim" any connection with Halcyonics. I have mentioned this product only because I had such good experience with it in a non-audio job-related situation. | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1...I hate to sound so negative, but I do see the nature of "modern" and "new" music to be a problem. MOST modern music I should add. There is some new work that is OK. I agree that people like Levine should support current composers. My... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1...Thanks. I will look for that book.Our local newspaper, The Berkshire Eagle, has a big story today about how James Levine, the new conductor of the Boston Symphony is planning to redirect the BSO, and the Tanglewood music festival pro... |
