| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone Here are the specs, from another piece of gear that uses SMP (Series Mode Protection) and LiFT( Linear Filtering): Filtration Rating10 dB @ 10 kHz40 dB @ 100 kHz50 dB @ 500 kHz This is not the same device, but the same features. The 10 dB @ 10kHz... | |
| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone Erik, is this a manufacturer claim or has there been some independent testing? I am not doubting it, just curious where the number comes from. @heaudio123Good question, and I actually had to think about where I got this number from. it's ac... | |
| Dried up Ferrofluid? @jetter If you can drill a pilot hole straight, and add glue you can build a kit. Here's one of the simplest kits out there, get your hands dirty and then after you may not think it was all that difficult. :-) https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com... | |
| Tweeter Replacement for Acoustic Energy (UK made) - AE2's and AE5's Try asking at DIYaudio | |
| Dried up Ferrofluid? @jetterI answered you. Go back and look. But truth is I have never built cabinets. The cabinet for the SNR-1 was custom built by Lee Taylor of Taylor Acoustics. The other 2 models used kit boxes. In all cases the part selection and schematics were... | |
| Dried up Ferrofluid? If you are interested in getting your hands dirty, consider a new kit instead. Built the whole thing from scratch. :) | |

I recommend you use the miniDSP, then you only have to deal with 1 delay. Also, look at... | |
| Adding shielding to existing cables Yep. That would work. You will be adding some capacitance, be interesting if this changes the quality of your cables. :) | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP The simple way is a miniDSP.The complicated way is to put a capacitor in series with the amp, and send the full range to the sub, if the sub has a low pass, and most do, you just have to match the cap to the frequency and preamp input impedance.Ot... | |
| Adding shielding to existing cables @dgarretson knows his stuff. All I want to suggest is, maybe don't hack your favorite ICs as your first one? :) | |
| Adding shielding to existing cables @millercarbon is not only a creepy online stalker but he is my biographer. He’s referring to a learning experience I had with DIY cables. Yes, I broke something using single stranded pure silver interconnects. I shared the experience with others a... | |
| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone @tomic601 My memory here is vague, but I think it went through a few versions, and I remember one being really great and another meh. My first exposure was on a Snell A/III, and swapping out the Amber amp for a Tandberg was a real revelation in wh... | |
