| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Specifically with LPs vs CDs, **usually** the CD is more compressed! The reason has nothing to do with the capabilities of either format. Its has to do with cars. Because CDs are expected to be played in cars, they are compressed. When CD's fi... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? This has officially gone silly, so, let me set all of you straight on something:Pineapple and pepperoni pizzas are wonderful things. You are welcome.E | |
| Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout @10000_hz_legend What is your current system? I listen to a pair of MA mini floor standers in the bedroom, but my main speakers are one's I built myself. You can too from the design here:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2017/12/snr-1-t... | |
| Warm up your streamers, Boston is putting 200K LP's online! No, but there are probably gems in there no one has heard outside of the library in decades. | |
| Crossover circuit; Hales Reference Revelation 3 speakers Hey !! You are in the wrong place. Come on over to:diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/You'll find lots of speaker builders there who will help you, plus you can post photos with your questions. I will say that looking at the impedance curve, this speak... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Let me put this another way. Mom or Dad's cooking. If you grew up with it, isn't that the standard you judge everything else by, for good or ill? Do we do the same with electronics and speakers? | |
| Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker? You know what you need? I can sense it, through the fog, it's getting clear... more clear ... more clear....You need to build your own pair of speakers. Yes, that's what you need to do. Lots of single/wide-band kits as well as multi-ways.Best,E | |
| Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout I recently heard the Spektors. I'm afraid the only thing I was impressed by was how bright they were and how easy it was to listen to them at low volume, and not at moderate volume.I also didn't find the frequency range particularly smooth. I'd ne... | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not Audio Note E"s are copies of the Snell E's. Along with the J's and K's. So much for originality!I don't really have a problem with making copies when the originals cannot be found, so long as credit is given and licenses are paid. I have Snell AII... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I remember a story,perhaps in Mix, about the producer for U2 using a boom box to check his mixes. Between that and Stop Making Sense, and the hyper-compression of the 1980s you can see some of the problems I am alluding to. The decision makers for... | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not Monitor Audio should be your neutral-reference to start with. Funny, I think the AN-E's are based on Snell's, also speakers of a similar period. Are you interested in DIY? Best,E | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Some of my thoughts on this thread were about taste and taste-makers. Some of it however was wondering about the interaction of mastering engineers, speaker makers, and amplifier makers. In a very real way, THX film sound has things MUCH easier ti... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Interesting, because Dr. Leach’s paper on building a low TIM solid state amplifier was also around that time:http://users.ece.gatech.edu/mleach/papers/lowtim/feb76feb77articles.pdfIt could very well be the time was right in 1974-1976 for an overal... | |
| High order crossovers @trelja " Resistors represent a fundamental component in the toolbox. Resistors reduce voltage, reduce gain, Yes, right right .. ... reduce dynamics" Woah, no, they don’t. They could only do this if they were non-linear. Resistors are the most lin... | |
