| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued I guess I am not up on Stereophilespeak. I question your suggestion that the V15 lacks HF response. I have seen frequency response plots (might have been in Shure literature) that look fine, and my own tests with a test LP (back when I could still... | |
| Optical or Coaxial? With optical you won't have a hum problem. With coax you might. (I did). | |
| Need Inexpensive Crossover Go to www.partsexpress.com. Item # 266-272. This is a passive low level high pass filter, 12 dB/octive 70 Hz. Including shipping it will cost you about $60 for two. A better solution would be to spend more than $100, and get a real crossover. I su... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible It's more than 40 years since EE101, and although, as an aerospace systems engineer (not an EE) I worked with a lot of fancy circuits since then I never actually designed a crossover network except at home for audio. I went to the only reference t... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Sean...Interesting discussion of the V15's characteristics. Strange though that you finish up with the favorable comment from Stereophile.ALL phono pickups increase in distortion as the groove modulation increases, rather dramatically for the very... | |
| How to build your own tube amplifier? Your best bet is to first build a time machine and go back to about 1955, when we had Dyna Kit, Eico, and Heathkit, among others. There are outfits today that make and sell tube amp kits. Check this out through Google. | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...Stop pontificating! Of course LF energy flows through the inductor to the woofer. That's why it doesn't flow through the tweeter, so that the tweeter tweets and doesn't woof.Suppose that you change the inductor value: make it smaller. The ... | |
| Denon DVD 2800 MKII Unless you have a HD monitor, and watch animated (cartoon) movies that have sharp picture edges and bright colors you will have a hard time seeing the chroma bug. Why do you think it went unrecognized for so long? | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...Having messed around with crossovers for more than 40 years, I don't need your schematic to comprehend a series network.Let me ask you...which driver's crossover frequency does the inductor determine? Shouldn't we call the inductor by the ... | |
| Phono Input on A300 overload? My guess is the pickup installation details. Start with the easy one, Vertical Tracking Force (downforce) and then move on to antiskating force and all the others.After you get completely frustrated, get a linear tracking arm :-) | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued By the way, regarding arm mass, my V15 lives in a Sony "Biotracer" (servo controlled) arm, that has essentially zero mass. Pick it up and it feels "strange" like a wet noodle. Anyway, the Shure works very well in this arm. It tracks well (trackabi... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Maybe one's view of the Shure V15 depends on "how you were brought up". I like its sound, and find most other pickups to be "colored". (Exception was a MC that I used for a while until discouraged by stylus replacement hassles/cost). My first pick... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Yep Gregm. In a series crossover you first put the woofer and tweeter in series. That would, of course, pass all frequencies through both drivers, briefly until the tweeter burned out. To avoid this you put an inductor across (in parallel with) th... | |
| Interconnect downstream flow Look at the output impedance of the various electronics. Put the "good" interconnect out of the electronics with the highest output impedance. For example, your solid state CD player might be 50 ohms, and your tube preamp 600 ohms. The preamp need... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...In a SERIES crossover, a WOOFER inductor? You need to explain this. |
