| Decisions! Decisions! How to get into Streaming and how to get over my Audiophile Roots Hit send too soon, sorry.Seeing how confused you are with options, my suggestion is to start cheap, and focus on the user interface and acceptable sound quality. I remember a friend of mine spend a year looking at Harley's and customizing them in... | |
| Decisions! Decisions! How to get into Streaming and how to get over my Audiophile Roots Another dimension to consider is streaming radio stations as well as services like TIdal. 70% of my music listening is not to music I own anymore. I often listen to a classical or jazz station, hear a musician I didn't know about, then go to Tidal... | |
| Schiit not that Good? I have heard Schiit DACs and really like them. Not as much as Myteck though. :) I have not heard the rest of their electronic stack though. Also, room acoustics matter! Last show I went to was sponsored by ASC and frankly, they all sucked. If you... | |
| Need help with covering for Dueland speaker wire Well this PVC has all sorts of accessories, so you could run it all the way into your home to an outlet box. | |
| Need help with covering for Dueland speaker wire You could do thin wall PVC pipe. Easy to install, and will make it easy to change them later. Perfectly fine for Class 2. | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? That will do it, and depends how far away.You could also try turning the speaker upside down. Many are measured on tweeter axis, so this will restore the vertical relationship. Of course, it only matters if you can hear it. Best,E | |
| Switch voltage of Lamm ML2.2 to 220V So this leaves you with two options. You can re-wire the transformer IF (and only IF) it is designed for dual voltage configuration. Many are but this takes electronics know how, or you get a new transformer, possibly degrading the quality of what... | |
| Used Mytek products so seldom listed on Audiogon... They are not a very high volume manufacturer I am afraid. Very small numbers of dealers, a lot of direct to consumer. I have mine, I am extremely happy with it. This may very well be the reason, I have absolutely no reason to sell it or trade it i... | |
| Switch voltage of Lamm ML2.2 to 220V Hi Hai!Lucky for you, these are very small amplifiers. You could easily purchase an external step up or step down transformers locally with enough power to drive them. If you can find balanced transformers, even better!Best,E | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Double check the sensitivity on each! :) It is very unusual that the same driver has the same sensitivity regardless of impedance! It's not impossible, but usually manufacturers cut the sensitivity by 3dB as impedance doubles. Yes, your math is co... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Hey Willie,You know, you could grab a speaker crossover simulator and try this out for free, it may help you. I use XSim. There you can use the virtual 8 Ohm drivers to explore various different wirings and output. Yes, the amp matters. If it's a ... | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Glad we could help, OP. Best,E | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? @prof - That’s actually an often repeated myth.The overall efficiency is determined by the driver and crossover. The cabinet and port affects the bottom end of the driver’s response. Plugging the port does raise the -3 dB point up to about an octa... | |
| Directional? The only reasonable answer to this is shielding should be connected only at the source. Not all audio cables are shielded, and chances are good even this makes only a tiny difference. | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Hi Jetter, It actually works the other way. Below the port resonance, driver excursion increases dramatically faster than with a sealed cabinet. Below resonance, the tube acts as a simple vent, eliminating the air-spring (i.e. acoustic suspension)... |
