| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ For a product designed to be attached to an electrical panel, or sub panel, it appears remarkably home made. I wouldn't allow it anywhere near my electrical until it was UL tested. And ... it has 2 leads ? One of which is neutral? So what happens ... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker And again, the ONLY thing that allows anyone to weigh the steak is the off the shelf drivers. If they had an OEM maker turn them pink and call them custom made, this meat weighing would end immediately. | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker And ... we’re back to comparing the value of a meal by the weight of the steak. | |
| What is the one piece of advice you would give about attending AXPONA? Listen in the hall way. Walk past any room that sounds bad outside, it won't sound better once you are in.A good sounding room will sound good from several doors down | |
| Isolation Transformers Hi Kalali,I'm not sure what you have. Can you post the make and model?An isolation transformer by itself does not regulate voltage. It does eliminate DC and prevent certain types of shock, as well reduce noise due to the inductance. A voltage regu... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker plumbers are well known for overcharging. DIY will save you money with plumbing too. But lets stick to discussing speakers. No, lets stick to the value of work and skill. That’s the argument. What kind of work do you do, because I’d like to know h... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I tested out the LOUDNESS and TONE controls on the 509x but the change in the sound was not that prominent when I heard it. Mind you I did not have my glasses on and was operating a little blind. The tune that was playing maybe not the best to... | |
| Education: Best place for Audio Engineering? See if Georgia Tech is still running an audio engineering department. Dr. Marshall Leach ran it before he passed away and I haven't kept up. Best,E | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons So I have a question, did the OP mean to ask about ribbon _midrange_ drivers?? That's why I asked about specific speakers, and especially current models. I know of a lot fewer midrange, true ribbons than I do say, a midrange AMT or planar magnetic... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker I agree with Prof. If you don't know the effort it takes to build something you have little business critiquing based on part cost. It's like, you value parts, but not skill or labor. Imagine being a plumber, and only being allowed to charge for t... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Sorry, @builder3 , and thanks for the extra info. :) | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Also, I'm sorry, but do audiphile power connectors have to be the size of a soda can? I mean really? Like I have so many power conditioners I can afford to block 3 other outlets and move furniture in order to plug the things in. Give me a break. | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Hey builder3 ! I sure spent a lot less than that! Under $100, including shipping, but this is only a 14 gauge cable. Hard for me to justify a 10 gauge cable from my power conditioner to my amp when I'm in an apartment and many many connections awa... | |
| Do open baffle designs matter? the overall dimensions of the OB matter, as it affects the tuning and frequency at which front to back cancellation occurs. Otherwise, so long as you avoid rattling and minimize vibrations, no. | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Also, @kenjit : Those are my qualifications, so before you go critiquing, lets see your work. You won't just be allowed to critique until I've seen you demonstrate reasonable speaker acumen. Criticizing the work of others without being able to mak... |
