| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" hi @rlb61 - Well, without measuring there is no way to tell exactly what was done for Joseph Audio. This is quite typical work by the way. Changes to the impedance, or suspension to accommodate target enclosures or crossovers are often done, plus ... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" By the way, as I was looking for something entirely different I found a Seas 2.5 way tower kit at Madisound, using similar parts. Worth checking out, especially for the price! Around $1,800 for the drivers with crossovers. You could probably get L... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" I have not looked inside the JA Pulsars, but I have to say, the impedance curve and measurements lead me to believe these are fairly conventional crossovers, but Kudos to JA for being so well implemented. The curious thing is the dip just below 2 ... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. Well, if you wanted to upgrade for cheap, the ZDac 2? | |
| New to DAC, need advice. I _really_ like the sound of the ZDAC. For the price, and when it was available, it is a really nice piece of kit! If you are going to upgrade, you want to look at Schiit or Mytek. On the other hand, the ZDac can make a nice DAC for your desktop. ... | |
| DIY - Affordable 2-ways to rival high end So undoubtedly some will ask "What do you mean rival high end?" Tonally these designs are really really good. The XT25 tweeters and derivatives have been used in speakers from Krell, YG Acoustics and Magico. The mid-woofers are also super smooth s... | |
| DIY - Exotic 2 way Hi Granny,Sorry. Look for the Mundorf MA 30. Here is at least a review:http://novo.press/mundorf-ma30-custom-made-speaker-kit-silvergold-series-review-worlds-first/Unfortunately it seems that I may have posted a kit which is winding down. It did n... | |
| DIY - Two kits using similar tweeter to Tekton I think those three brands of speakers use a peculiar type of tuning that happens in the "high end" which is quite different than this particular kit. Dynaudio is also different in that they often use a W shaped house curve. Each of these approach... | |
| 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... |
