| Sex and the balanced interconnect. Jafox...It has been pointed out that with a locking connector if someone trips over the wire (and don't say it never happens) the electronics end up on the floor. Nothing is perfect. | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...Is there a way to hear your speakers in New England? | |
| how to increase power? If this amp used triode output tubes, you could increase power by reworking it to pentode operation. Other than that, you can't expect to make the amp more powerful. If that were possible the manufacturer would have done it.Why do you want more po... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...As sean said, noone is comparing your speaker's sound to that of a Bose 901. (How could I...never heard yours). But, there seem to be some similarities with the design concepts of the ORIGINAL 901. Did you ever hear original Bose 901's? No... | |
| Sex and the balanced interconnect. Thanks to everyone who remarked on the unusual male-to-male XLR cable configuration. Very careful rereading of the Ashly manual suggests that the XLR chassis output is a male. All the diagrams about pin assignments show only male XLR connectors. T... | |
| Sex and the balanced interconnect. Unclejeff...Thanks for the A2Zcables.com info. Looks like good stuff. | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Sean...The original (sealed) Bose speakers are the only ones that I ever thought sounded good. All speakers generate output below the driver resonance, and many use equalization, but designers usually try to get resonance down as much as possible ... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Metralla....To represent a time-domain waveform by Fourier coefficients, the waveform must be periodic, and remain of fixed spectral content (at least during the time interval of the FFT). Music isn't like that. There are momentary wavefronts with... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...Thanks for the info. For your sake I hope there are enough people willing to spend $20K on speakers to make your effort worthwhile. If they go for multichannel you have it made.You cite 10 dB as the boost. When Bose did it I seem to rememb... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...Can you explain what the "Linkwitz Transform" is. What I got from your website is that it is an equalization curve, of unspecified characteristics.I guess Dr Bose beat Linkwitz by about 20 years. I described the concept as a "neat idea". I... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Twl...You make sense. Mostly.The Nyquist criteria calls for sampling to be at twice the highest frequency of interest: if this is true the analog waveform is represented without error. BUT...Nyquist was talking about sine waves. Music is not a sin... | |
| Sex and the balanced interconnect. I have the power amps, CarverPro zr1600, and the manual and inspection of the hardware confirms that a male plug is necessary on the input cable. The connectors on the chassis accept XLR, TRS, or TS 1/4 phone plugs, all male. (TS are used for sing... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER An afterthought...Some of the very first stereo LPs, Audio Fidelity "Dukes of Dixieland" did not sum the bass, at least that I can detect on my system. Some of the very first stereo recordings (Vanguard in particular) also stuck with two microphon... | |
| Sex and the balanced interconnect. In the XLR connector the three pins are within a shroud that protects them from damage, so the male-to-male configuration is OK in that regard. By the way, I do live in Massachusetts, so same-sex interconnects are legal. | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Pabelson and others...Summing of the bass (like the drastic RIAA equalization) is a topic that vinyl fans like to ignore. I believe that the reason for suming is to enable non-audiophile phono pickups to stay in the groove. Large vertical groove m... |
