| Matched interconnect cables producing different volume left and right Well, the alternative is one of the signals is shorted to ground. Make sure the 3 pins don't have continuity between them. | |
| Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii Hi builder3Again, want to emphasize that what's important is the performance, not the theory, but here goes. The lower a speaker's impedance is, the harder to drive, the more likely an amplifier is to sag, or produce less output in that region th... | |
| Can anyone identify the model of this speakers? Two things might, MIGHT help. Open up the back and see if the crossover is labelled, or if you can tell the manufacturer of any of the drivers. That may give a clue as to country of origin | |
| Microphone that will work with Lexicon I don't know if it's worth it for you at all then. AFAIK, those processors did not have any automatic room correction, just level/distance setting. | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Success on Audiogon means one thing:When people follow you from thread to thread and post the first knee-jerk reaction they can think of. Worship me, A’goners, for I have achieved the highest level of satus among Audiophiles, and my evolution amon... | |
| Poor Fritz I knew a lady who made violins, violas and cellos. She was a silver medalist in the US. I loved the sound of her instruments, and the horror stories she had over selling direct were such that she never sold direct even to friends. The care and ... | |
| Matched interconnect cables producing different volume left and right You broke a connection. :) XLR still works if only 1 wire is connected, but half volume. Get a continuity tester, and test each of the 3 connections. I'm sure that will reveal your answer. Best,E | |
| Own many mid-game speakers or a few end-game speakers. Buddy, come over to the dark side, where for the price of a pair of Wilsons you can have built and tried 10 pairs of speakers, learned a great deal, and maybe met interesting people in the ER room. At some point in your audiophile career you will ... | |
| Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii Doh, I retract my retraction so deleted it. Here's the piece I find important. Per Luxman's website, the 590 has: Bipolar 3-parallel push-pull But the 509 has: Bipolar 4-parallel push-pull Implying a lower output impedance. Is this critical? N... | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? My main suggestion is to get off Wifi If you can. If you can't, use a phone based Wifi analyzer to pick the best, least congested wifi channels.Best,Erik | |
| Microphone that will work with Lexicon Hey there,If I read the brochure correctly, this only sets levels and distances, right? If you can't get a mic, you can use a calibrated mic on your phone to set levels. I recommend this one and Audio Tools on Android. https://amzn.to/3dt54IHI've ... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Let me alter my thesis, because the original was so hard to transmit, even by those who really know their stuff. In fact let me reword it ENTIRELY. "In a modest, average home listening environment, you can’t do much for the acoustics with just 4 p... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Keep in mind that bass traps can go in more places than behind the speakers. Every corner, including wall to ceiling, and wall to floor can be a good place for them. The GIK soffit traps for instance are meant to be mounted along the soffits, or t... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? ADMINISTRATIVE ALERTSmurphythecat has been ignored due to the use of word salads to belittle others. Please ignore it without fear of being impolite. This concludes this alert of common sense and good manners. | |
| Beyond Boutique Speakers So I guess this means Zu is in?? :-) Again, lets keep it fun.Mentioning good people who make good speakers no one has probably ever heard of is the goal. The more the merrier. |
