| What is a Transcription Turntable Rushton...Good info. Some audiophiles used to use transcription tables, and one reason was the longer arm which supposedly made for better tracking. At 33 rpm I would have expected a 16 inch disc to give play time longer than 15 minutes. Also, I t... | |
| Problem with bass managment with many universals- Bass management is a can of worms! The way I solved the problem is to tell my source equipment that I have no subwoofer, so that anything in the LFE channel (and in many cases there is nothing) gets mixed into Left and Right. Then my electronic cr... | |
| Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds? Nsgarch..."enough frivolity"? You must be on the wrong website!But if you insist...the "really early rubber-impregnated cloth and the corrugated paper types" actually work very well for drivers that do not require large excursion, or low free air ... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...The link works.Here is an idea...Angle the speakers a bit more and/or move your chair up so that the Maggies are Edge-on to the listener. Edge-on would be a null (invisible) orientation for a dipole speaker, and would explain what you hear... | |
| Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds? If you use the right kind of product on your speakers you can probably get the surrounds unglued from the cones. | |
| Setting 6-ch. levels isn't as easy as you think LFE levels are all over the place, and of course, SW level is greatly affected by the room. I would do it by ear.One problem that I encountered relates to frequency response. By this I mean room effects: not the equipment. I recently installed equ... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...I saw several diagrams on AA, and they just confused me. I think I know now what you are saying. You are most certainly hearing sound directly from the speakers, but somehow that sound is being combined with the reflected sound in such a w... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...As I understand your setup, your chair is about 15 feet from the reflecting wall, and the speakers are about 9 feet from the wall. So the speakers are between you and the wall. In this situation you will hear more than 50 percent of the so... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? TWL...FWIW...Definition of an Engineer...Someone who can do, for a dollar, what any damn fool can do for ten. Henry Kloss was an Engineer.I think that the only reason you get so much flack is the price. I, and probably others, know that excellent ... | |
| Anyone heard Underwood level1 3910 mod? I am well satisfied with my Underwood mod to a Denon 2900. I do not have another player for side by side comparison, but I do believe that the sonics are better. Certainly the workmanship, evident by removing the cover, is top drawer. Apart from t... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...Maggies emit sound equally in both directions, with opposite phase. Turning them around doesn't change much...just a little because the magnets are in the way on one side. Bose 901s had eight little FR drivers aimed at the wall, and one at... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Warrenh...Per your instructions I waxed my woofers, and the midrange really smoothed out. | |
| Anyone tried Magnepan 1.6's with rock music? For classic rock the obvious choice is huge horn loaded boxes with 15 or 18 inch drivers. They will sound "right" because that sound is exactly what you get at a live concert.Maggies will do their best for you, but their virtues lie in other direc... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Zaikesman...You mentioned two descriptions: "overachieving near-miracles or overhyped quasi-rip-offs". I think you, and the sellers, missed another possible description...A design based on synergistic combination of very modest components to achie... | |
| balance and single ended what I heard About the grounded pin in the "balanced" interconnect...I am no genius to think of this. I just had it happen to me, fortunately in only one of two channels, so the gain difference was obvious. |
