| Living with popping and crackling Johnnantais...Congratulations!! You are one of those who can listen through the noise. | |
| Living with popping and crackling Papertrail...Some noise filters were much more effective than others, and used some very clever methods to distinguish noise from music. Nothing is perfect(even vinyl), and some really good LPs did not benefit from the noise reduction. However, fo... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Surface noise is a fact of life for vinyl. In the last decade before consumer digital media became available many kinds of hardware were developed to address the issue: dynamic noise filters (Carver Autocorrellator) pop and click eliminators (actu... | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system Different systems excel in different kinds of music, so there is no "right answer" to this question.My system, with three elaborate subwoofer systems reproduces loud organ and chorus music in a way that no little box can approach, but yet that lit... | |
| Crossover cap value? Theaudiotweak...Have you calculated the phase shift at 1500 Hz caused by a 6 dB high pass filter at 275 Hz? You ought to. You might also like to compare this with the phase shift of the speaker's 1500 Hz crossover at this frequency. | |
| Crossover cap value? Since your objective is just to get the LF signal out of the HF amp, a 6 dB filter set well BELOW the driver crossover frequency would be best. Such a filter will be "out of the picture" at the break frequency of the speaker system's built-in cros... | |
| Wiring a Center Channel Yes, you will get a difference signal, and if you have inverted one stereo channel signal, this difference signal is indeed the common mode component of the stereo signals and is what you want to drive the center speaker. Of course, you must conne... | |
| Slew Rate rp1@surfnetusa.com...Trailing edge transient response is of little interest for music reproduction, because music does not have sharp trailing edges. This characteristic is used in the restoration of antique records, to disciminate between musical... | |
| Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP Earnestmoney....I should mention that "soft dome tweeters" are the drivers that I have had the best luck with. (essentially a perfect repair). Drivers with hard caps are more difficult, and may show a crease, although the dent will be gone. | |
| Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP My primary speakers being Maggies,I have no dust caps to dent! However, in recent memory I found a dented cap on a dynaudio box that I was using for rear channels, and I did the pin thing with perfect results. In the past 50 years I have probably ... | |
| Why dual subwoofers ? I consider the subwoofer to be an integral part of the speaker system, just like the woofer, midrange, and tweeter. The fact that it happens to be in a different enclosure is a detail. Accordingly, I think that each main speaker deserves its own s... | |
| Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP Earnestmoney...I guess I must be highly skilled or damn lucky, because the pin always works well for me. | |
| 24-bit question..... If you had a way to read out and display the 24-bit data words, you could look to see if the LSB (least significant bit) ever changes. In my work we used 16-bit data words, but some data was just measuremnts using a 12-bit A/D. In this case the lo... | |
| Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP Use a pin! Unless you are performing the work in full view of a customer, in which case the 1/16 drill and carefully bent paper clip will make it look like rocket science. | |
| B&W exposed tweeter on top design.... Of course, if you have been reading my comments about "suspended speakers" you know that I do like the idea of having the drivers separated from room boundries as well as baffles (my planar speakers have no baffles). However, as sean points out, t... |
