| HF resistor change a revelation on 12" Tannoy HPD's Thanks for finding that, Al. Unfortunately I could not open the link but I found an alternative crossover image here, including one which foregoes the autoformer entirely: https://www.hilberink.nl/codehans/tannoy36.htmI don't have a lot of experie... | |
| Component Stacking Question Temp is OK. Weight, maybe. Is the preamp strong enough for the weight? Noise - Power transformers can radiate a lot of EMF noise, which can be picked up by other equipment too close to it. You'll hear it as hum. | |
| HF resistor change a revelation on 12" Tannoy HPD's Hey Elizabeth,It depends on where the resistor is. Any time you want to go through a speaker crossover simulation with me I'll be happy to show you why this can be true. Best,E | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Hi @geoffkait Thanks for not asking questions about my suggestion, in particular why this would do anything, why it works and what it could reveal about the room/speaker interactions. In this way I can be certain you neither understand my suggesti... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume The way to tell if it's your speakers or your room:Sit 3' away from them. See if the mushiness goes away. | |
| Anyone else gotten SPAM pop ups the last couple of days? It happens on android too, and they are usually scam sites. Last time I reported anything to A'gon they wanted me to change my PC so I would use the same browser they do. | |
| HF resistor change a revelation on 12" Tannoy HPD's Room acoustics matter a great deal, including between and behind the speakers. I'd be interested to know exactly what this particular resistor was doing. Doubling or cutting that in half seems like a big deal, but it's also a rather large value, w... | |
| Class d for ht. I recently heard a monoblock Class D set up Wyred4Sound playing here at THE Show. Not bad at all. Ideal for HT. | |
| PL EVO Pre - Output transformers! Thanks @imhififan !!I like the sound of good output transformers, George, and they tend to be less colorful. Just mellow and warm. | |
| Class d for ht. I can't believe no one else has used any of these 2 amps. A'gon tends to be mostly about 2 channel listening. You probably want to try a more HT focused forum to get your answers. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - What is an actual upgrade? Sadly they're all out of my favorite power cord material. :( | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - What is an actual upgrade? Thanks for the reminder, @ElizabethPCX is having a 25% off sale and I almost missed it. :) Going to buy more parts to make up a couple of more shielded power cables. Best,E | |
| best Front end for B&W 801 Matrix 3? Oh, and if you haven't already, have the caps upgraded. Modern film caps are so much better. Best,E | |
| best Front end for B&W 801 Matrix 3? I know how many audiophiles swear by ARC of the era and B&W, but I sure never got into that combination. Have you tried a CJ of the era, or a more modern ARC?? | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - What is an actual upgrade? Hey @riley804 I don't need one.... I'm just curious if anyone feels there's an upgrade worth the money. It's a fine DAC. Is there a DAC which sounds noticeably better I could afford ? Under $3k?Best,E |
