| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Hi @b_limoGlad I could help. I second the suggestion to go to diyaudio for help instead of Audiogon. It's more of a builder's forum.Best,E | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Hi phdWhile I appreciate the fandom, Pass has plenty of positive threads here. What I want to encourage are direct comparisons with other amps I might have heard recently. If you've had the change to compare them to other similar amps I'd love to ... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Hey @twoleftears I did see that, it looks like an idea I have seen in some professional speakers. JBL perhaps? Seems to work as advertised. Would love to see the polar plots. :) | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I rarely hear the square wave definition used, but sure, some do. The square wave has more to do with time/phase accuracy, and something that can be corrected for via DSP. It is certainly a very rare thing to have a speaker that can replicate it w... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? It usually refers to the ability of an attack (the first arrival) to startle you, such as with a kick drum or cymbal. It is also about the detail which can reach you at your seat. In my mind, this is an artifact of tone, not actual driver speed, b... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Huh. From : https://hometheaterreview.com/coda-technologies-continuum-no-8-stereo-amplifier/ and copied here under fair use guidelines: The Pass Lab sound is slightly warm and velvety while the Coda is smooth and silky in its overall presentatio... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Would be interesting to hear a Seas A26 kit and compare. | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Coda amps are a good alternative to Pass (owned by ex-Threshold engineers). A big difference is the level of marketing. Hey @vinylvalet - Can you talk about the sonic characteristics between the two? I heard Coda’s a long time ago and from a sound... | |
| Seas 2.5 Way Graphite Kit - Delling I wouldn't call them that. JA tunes his speakers differently and adds tube friendly circuitry. | |
| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement Powered JBL speakers, plus an EQ. | |
| Parasound Halo a23 Warm, noiseless. Drives most loads. | |
| Seas 2.5 Way Graphite Kit - Delling Hey Prof - Perhaps some of the most well understood aspects of mathematical modeling of speakers has to do with matching a cabinet volume, and port (if any) to a specific driver to achieve a particular low frequency response. A free tool which do... | |
| Glutton for Punishment? I'm afraid I've released myself from this, but it took effort. First, I made my own IC's out of pure silver. A little brittle, but nothing I heard made me want to change. Then I made my own speakers. I have a long history in audio engineering, so ... | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? Hi @cheeg I had an ARC DAC 8 - It absolutely needed hi rez files to sound less than murky. The Mytek Brooklyn I have now does a really great job with Redbook and Internet radio.But since then a number of DAC’s, if not most, no longer have such a d... | |
| Just how big is our foot print? As I said, peanuts keep falling from the sky ... |
