| Well maybe it IS my hearing I'm not sure. I mean, that's the point, to enhance the upper treble. A lot of people with hearing loss can absolutely benefit from additional output there. | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing I just stay with the crossover settings and interconnects I like music played on. That should be everyone's goal. :) | |
| New Cu foil caps: Miflex The Audyn's in the values I need are at the top of the price bracket. For what I'll need to spend I'd rather think about Jupiter or Duelund. Maybe I should try the 0.1uF Audyn True Silvers as bypass caps? I'm currently using True Copper and they w... | |
| DIY is not all about saving money Audio Note Lexus Copper Litz for the internal wiring of your speakers. I don't have a solder pot, and feel like I'm pretty much done doing the cable things with them. :) At some point I have to decide it's good enough. I may however upgrade to so... | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve that he could make it with any nominal impedance he chose. This is true for all cones as well. Off the shelf components are often available at different impedance for exactly the same reasons. Lower impedance = more current = more force against ... | |
| MiniDSP 2x4HD used with a high efficiency system Sorry my friend. I'm using them, and they sound good but with a typical sub. What exactly are you trying to do? | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve It isn't all a treatise on you, goerge. I do think that the community at large does not appreciate how much we can learn.That doesn't mean to be an accusation of anyone in particular. | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve The quick answer: The weaker the amp, the more its output in the frequency domain will look like the impedance curve. | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? It is a lot safer to upgrade the caps for modern speakers than for speakers from the 80's.You don't run into ESR differences luke you did before, which does funky things to the impedance curve. | |
| DIY is not all about saving money Not everything I post is about others being negative, but sometimes comments make me think about areas where an explicit conversation can be helpful. In general, there's always some one to pop in and criticize my DIY habits as cheap or low quality... | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing +1 kink56 !!!! That is the perfect post. All I want to add is, does this training make you happy? Does this level of discernment contribute to your life in a positive way that feeds you and gives you energy to better engage your community and the ... | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve ESL's are notorious, and I've seen down to 1/3 of an Ohm at the top of the frequency range. It's something hopefully purchasers learn about before they buy. Of course, from the dealer's' perspective, they should jump on this as it gives them a rea... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Why on earth would I want to stop doing DIY? That IS my audio hobby. Best,E | |
| I woke up with cold ears And of course, listen with the WHOLE body. This is an important point I've made before. We don't all listen with our ears alone, for some more than others the somatic experience is as important. There have not been enough studies about how the bo... | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? Mills are just great resistors AND they are great value. I've not found better. Just more expensive. High precision, amazing thermal stability and small size for the wattage makes them really kind of incredible resistors. I really really don't und... |
