| Making High End Clones at Home for Fun and Savings Gregm...I didn't mention the Behringer brand because people may be begining to think I work for that outfit! But your suggestion is good. Just to be clear, you are talking about the DCX2496, a crossover, not the DEQ2496 which is an equalizer. But ... | |
| Making High End Clones at Home for Fun and Savings Audiokinesis...True, the "clone" might be slightly different. For example, the enclosure could be made of superior wood and with better craftsmanship, and the crossover could use superior parts. Crossover upgrades are a common diy project. It impr... | |
| Making High End Clones at Home for Fun and Savings The high frequency response (say 2000 up) will be determined by the tweeter you use. You can buy the exact same tweeter used in many high end systems. Low frequency response is where matching an existing speaker system will take some work. You can... | |
| I have Maggie MG 1.6's - need amp advice Mrtennis...At least with Maggies, the "quality of sound" delivered at a five watt average power level (about six volts rms into 4 ohms)is better when it comes from a powerful amp although one would think that 100 watts would be plenty. That's my e... | |
| I have Maggie MG 1.6's - need amp advice My MG1.6 never sounded better than when driven by CarverPro ZR1600 digital power amps...600 watts/channel into 4 ohms. Synergy I think. You can buy these amps brand new for less than a grand. My experience, and some measurements, with these amps c... | |
| Gunk will not clean off LP ? Gregm....There are many on the market. Visit the detergent aisle of your supermarket. I am most familiar with the heavy duty hand cleaner stuff (used after working on your car) but it includes pumace and would be unsuitable for LPs.The DuPont solv... | |
| Gunk will not clean off LP ? As Albertporter says, Freon is the best cleaner there is, but the environmentalists have banned it. In my business (manufacture of missile guidance systems) we used to clean everything with Freon, but were forced to find something else to use. Aft... | |
| 1st Order Xovers....A question of absolute volume. A first order crossover will let more LF signal into the tweeter, and so might limit volume to a lower level than what the same drivers could deliver using a steeper crossover. However, if you use a first order crossover the crossover frequency ca... | |
| Speaker cone material pro's and con's Dearing...I get your point. But be aware that plenty of highly credentialed engineers/scientists are, at the same time, certifiable yahoos. These guys often publish so called technical papers. And, some great ideas come from people with no formal ... | |
| Speaker cone material pro's and con's Gregm...Is my lighthearted mention of walking on water considered polemic? Sorry about that. Although I have most of the credentials that Dearing was looking for I find it a bit overbearing to suggest that only people with this sort of academic cr... | |
| Speaker cone material pro's and con's Aolmrd1241...My water-walking is OK on the ocean (salt water) but I sink in to my knees on fresh water. | |
| Highend Players and Skipping CDs There really should be no difference. In fact, "cheaper" CD players may be using the exact same disc transport mechanism. Any CDP that skips is faulty. It should not happen. | |
| Speaker cone material pro's and con's I come from a time when all speaker cones were paper. We were hands-on audiophiles and we spent a lot of time "doping" cones in an effort to change the sound. We glued on balsa wood (lightweight) strips to stiffen the cone and prevent breakup. The... | |
| Would this fix a scratched CD? .Why is it that I never experience a CD that skips? Exceptions are...All CDs began to skip on my ten year old Mission CDP. I gave the CDP a decent burial.I have have had a CD skip in my car when I hit a really bad bump in the road. When CDs were f... | |
