| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Of course, in his day Beethoven was considered dissonant and unlistenable. Maybe in a few hundred years I can learn to like modern music. | |
| Fuse for SEAS Millennium T25 CF002-06 Tweeter. Trelja...Yes I do think these tweeters are more delicate than most, but what I did to them was far beyond normal use. I suppose the lightweight coil enhances HF response. I have no complaint with SEAS, except perhaps that they should have recommen... | |
| Fuse for SEAS Millennium T25 CF002-06 Tweeter. Trelja...By the way, Madisound is out of stock on replacement voice coils. I wonder why :-( | |
| Fuse for SEAS Millennium T25 CF002-06 Tweeter. Trelja...I have NEVER blown any tweeter, except these. The mishap did not occur with normal listening to music, but rather during some testing and experimentation that I screwed up. My fault all the way.As to sound quality, I can detect no differe... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Useridchallenged...I think that Halcyonics has various models, some of which will support more weight. The 220 pound model should be sufficient for 99.9 percent of turntables.Thanks for the info on the patent. I will look it over. | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1...Agreed that a piece which ends quietly, (which is not that common) might have applause delayed slightly, but not 3-5 seconds. Also, "modern" music often ends just as loud as any other kind."Random" probably was the wrong word. As one... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Tbg...I never used it for audio, but the task of eliminating ripples in a dish of Mercury is a real vibration isolation challenge, and the Halcyonics table came through with flying colors. At the time I thought that it would make a great base for ... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Useridchallenged...The Halcyonics table is completely self-contained and easy to use. Just adjust (knob) for the load weight (as indicated by a LED). At work it performed flawlessly in a critical optical task. (Eliminated ripples in a pool of Merc... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1..."Follow the music". What do I mean is a fair question. At any point in the music, at the end of a phrase, there are a great number of "answering" phrases that will "sound right" according to classical rules of composition. The compos... | |
| How do inductors help impedence matching? An inductor of 1.5mH would correspond to an 850Hz crossover for 8 ohm driver (and 1700 Hz for a 4 ohm driver). It must be in series.If the speaker is 8 ohms, the 8 ohm tap will maximize power. Try the others if you want...it will not hurt anything... | |
| How do inductors help impedence matching? Skushino...About the impedance...correct.Think of the transformer as being like an automobile transmission. The taps are like different gears. Suppose you want to get 2 volts out of the amp, and you set the volume so as to get this from the 8 ohm ... | |
| How do inductors help impedence matching? Presumably there is a capacitor that couples the tweeter to the amplifier for higher frequencies. This lowers impedance at these frequencies. The inductor that couples the woofer to the amplifier increases the impedance of the woofer circuit for h... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. sirspeedy70680@earthlink.net...With the kind of classical music that I like the ending is easy to recognize even it I am not familiar with the piece, because certain rules of composition are observed. Some might say this makes it boring. But it al... | |
| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers Cinematic_systems..I get your point. Just the same, there are some small Maggies...even wall mounts. Also, I have messed around with near-field listening to Maggies. Try it sometime and you might be interested, even if not delighted. One thing I r... | |
| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers Magneplanar speakers don't boom, but they don't go real low either, although it often sounds like they do. If boom is the primary consideration, consider Maggies. |
