| 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)... | |
| What Center Channel are you using in your Home Theater? Also, ahem, I use my own center channel, the design is free of charge:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/03/introducing-lm-1c.htmlI encourage every Audiophile to build at least 1 pair of DIY speakers in their hobby lifespan.

| What Center Channel are you using in your Home Theater? Intelligibility comes from tonal balance and early reflections. Are you using room correction? What kind of flooring do you have? Best,E | |
| Reel to Reel and General Tapes Questions VCR Hi Fi audio was among the very best consumer magnetic audio formats ever, but the magic was a lot more than the VCR heads alone. | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used Well, I am a big fan of Ayre, as well as Parasound. How about a CJ tube though? You might need/like the color. | |
| Can I play Tidal on two devices at the same time? That's typical. At home I kind of get around this because I can stream the same music to multiple devices at the same time. Best,E | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Hi Rwinner,Not really. Actually my S1's came with plugs. Reducing the bass is a good idea when you have speakers not really designed for close boundary locations. It will help even out the bass response. You Best,E | |
| Right Channel Cuts Out intermittently - help! Oh, one more thing to check. You might have bad cables or a bad speaker. Check to see if there's any chance your speaker cables have shorted, with a little bare strand of copper. Try swapping amp channels. If the problem sttays with the same speak... |
