| Rotel Power Amp gone awry It sounds like you blew a power supply cap from the sudden short. :( Next time, use a 1W/1kOhm resistor to short across the PS caps and wait for the voltage to get down to below 10V before attempting to service! Yes, it’s worth trying to fix, but ... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review I should also point out, treble balance can be affected by room acoustics. including what’s on the floor between and behind the speakers. Most audiophiles are into first reflections, but try throwing some blankets around. :) Between the drivers, c... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Yep, the tweeter level and even the shape of it's output is controlled by the crossover, and ultimately the speaker designer. I could easily adjust that on any of the 3 different models I listen to at home. The overall balance also matters a great... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review @markalarsen "But this is just one example of JA's biases." You are referring to John Atkinson, not Joseph Audio, correct? Hah! Sorry for the confusion! :) Yes. | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review prof:Well I wouldn't make too much out of this as reviewers tastes and ears change over time. JA sure didn't mind a rising response in the B&W or Golden Ear speakers, which are not only rising, but ragged, and wow, can I hear it! And it is thi... | |
| Full-Range to Monitors Just to clarify, I love the JL audio auto-eq, but wow, those are pricey beasts. | |
| Full-Range to Monitors @don_c55 I have never heard a system that was digitally EQ'd that did not sound unnatural. I believe you have not. This is why I really like the JL subs. They do it very nicely. So do I. In both cases, we avoid EQ above the subwoofer. If you ... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review By the way, I don’t mind anyone in particular having any particular bias. I think that’s fine. I’m only objecting to JA shilling really non-neutral speakers as being neutral or the golden standard. He likes what he likes and that in my mind is pre... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review @prof erik,Can you explain what you take to be JA's preferred "high end sound?" https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/05/stereophile-reviews-data-doesnt-lie.html | |
| Speaker Cables for my Focal Sopra 2's Wireworld reduces presence a little in exchange for enhanced imaging. | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Forgot about this, I was so bent out of shape that I did a full write-up on the Stereophile review for the Crystal Cable Minissimo Diamond. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/09/stereophile-slanders-crystal-cable.htmlBut this is just o... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review JA is among my least favorite reviewers. He has a particular "high end" sound he likes, and calls speakers which are neutral colored. Just about all his biases and lack of care showed up in the review for the Crystal Cable Minissimo Diamonds. Mind... | |
| speaker advice please Again, I strongly encourage you to reach out to GIK Acoustics first. Get their advice on room products. Good acoustics make EVERY speaker better. THEN decide what kind of speaker you want. :) Best,E | |
| speaker advice please OP: I have not heard them. :) Possibly good, not sure how they do close to a rear wall without a diffuser or absorber there. |
