| Black Ash..... Due to a host of mental conditions, many of them criminal, I can only live in a room with pressed wood paneling adorning the walls. So, for me, black ash is perfect. | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? I do want to point out that components are a lot better than they were in the 1980s. Drivers are, by and large, more consistent, and cheap 1% film caps are readily available. It's a lot less important to match drivers and caps than it was then, an... | |
| Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit? Kenjit :A - Most who build a kit don't design it, and often purchase the crossover pre-assembledB - While active crossovers are more popular in the DIY world than in the consumer world, they are still, based on sales, the minority, and they have t... | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave Hello @jwpstaymanVery cool. :) I met the folks from Impact I had no idea there was a connection to the Lineaum. I like the look of it too, I wonder if you could project images on that screen? Best,E | |
| Imaging and the first violin(s) Room acoustic treatments??? Usually I find that bad imaging is from poor room treatment and speaker placement. Speakers:Experiment with width and toe-in. If you point your speakers directly at your head, try pointing them straight, or having them ... | |
| Who are the Kings of Audiogon? Thanks so much for your kind words, @birdfanThe NY Mets season tickets I promised are in the mail!Erik | |
| splitting a digital signal According to some people. Why don’t you try it before you get too complicated? It has to be better than using a splitter, which would involve using a new device of variable quality. Best,E | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave Hey bdp24This is staring to sound familiar. Honestly, I'm more than a little surprised that this tweeter design didn't last well into the late 20th and early 21st century. I don't remember hearing it, but it's' innovative design should have made i... | |
| splitting a digital signal do you need to use Coax for both? You could do optical for one, and coax for another. I doubt you'll hear a difference. | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? Kenjit,Would you please describe your current speaker syste, as well as any widely available commercial speaker you stan?Thanks | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I appreciate the experience and knowledge you bring to this, erik.I personally am downplaying my own expectations of what I’ll hear with the new graphene version.Thank you for your kind words! I’m not saying it’s not a better driver. I’m just sayi... | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? They do, but in the room it all goes to hell. :) Best,E | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Reading the Seas graphene white paper, I noticed that while they go into some detail about manufacturing, and oxidation inhibition I didn't see any major claims for it affecting the sound of the drivers. Being a serious driver manufacturer, I'm su... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Predicting changes in sound based on specs is hard to do. Have you heard these speakers?I make no claim to. I'm only stating that several improvements in the motor structure have occurred, and that I would guess these improvements are probably mor... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Hey @markalarsen : Yes, what's interesting is that they discuss graphene mostly as being a protective coating. If you read the paper on the driver itself, it is clear that several improvements have been made to the driver motor, and that these are... |
