| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? A casual look into a piano will reveal many stings that get hit by felt hammers to produce sound. One might think that the sound source is the strings. Actually, behind the strings, and below them in a grand piano is a sound board. This is a large... | |
| I have a general question about surround sound. Here is what I wrote for a previous posting.Multichannel discs, and why. There is a limited selection of Multichannel discs, and some controversy regarding the merits of multichannel. Certainly there are some inferior discs, but there are also a ... | |
| What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles? Ffontan...Fuzzy logic may be OK for some applications, but when you are delivering several H-bombs you really want to be sure. (Good thing that the Chinese embassy was not our target!) We are incredibly conservative in our technology, and perhaps ... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Khrys...I think that your "going subless" is certainly reasonable. As I have observed, most of the time the SW cones are doing nothing. And "doing nothing" means exactly that. There is no subsonic hall sound that somehow gets reproduced without an... | |
| What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles? Ffontan...Actually, not elliptical. It's an "oblate spheroid" with many anomalies. (We get into this in the field of balistic missile guidance). And the shape changes several inches during the day.."land tide", and thermal effects. This science is... | |
| What causes clipping? Robotman....If the amp is external you could easily check for "crosswireing" using a battery, but perhaps you can do this by observing the cones during music. The battery is just a more definite method. Agreed that this would be unlikely.Reversing... | |
| LP shelf recommendations? Psychicanimal...Believe it or not there are some people who haven't got around to a digital camera yet. Just visualize a "bin". Or a 3X5 card box. | |
| In search of Power Amp replacement Under $1000? Carver ZR1600 ($800 and change). Try it, you'l like it. | |
| DIY Speaker Upgrade? If you plan to get some other speakers to listen to, you can use these old ones to experement with. It can be interesting and relatively inexpensive, but will take time.Keep one speaker stock, and work on the other one. This cuts costs in half, an... | |
| LP shelf recommendations? The most convenient storage is "almost on edge" slanting back at an angle of about 30 degrees to the vertical. I built a storage box like this, with multiple sections each holding a group of a couple of dozen records. The sections were larger than... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Frogman...Since a real piano can be perfectly reproduced (Ritteri told me so) there should be no problem making a perfect synthesized one. Right? :) | |
| What causes clipping? Robotman...The "drivers" are the things with cones that move in and out. Since your SW has a built-in amp I guess that you can't get at the amp output wires that go to the drivers. If you could get at those wires, a 9 volt battery momentarily conn... | |
| Digital as good or better than YOUR analog? What does "better" mean? For me I was always annoyed by LP surface noise and rumble, and the inconvenience of constanly cleaning away dust. Therefore, for me, CD's were an improvement from day one.Today my digital playback equipment is considerabl... | |
| Denon DVD and Receiver There is no reason why the volume level when playing a DVD should be exactly the same as other sources. For one thing, the volume level will depend on how the disc was recorded. A disc might be recoreded "softly" so as to leave room (with the avai... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Onhwy61...Uch!!! Why not just get a synthesized piano and be done with it? |
