| Help with Stereo Setup Hi OP! I think what’s best is for you to make some music, and let’s see where you want to go from there. First, you are going to want to learn about your gear’s innate sound, and your very own interest in it. A lot of this may be of no real use to... | |
| JAM by Duelund Just couple of notes, the Clarity CSA has copper in the connection matrix, not the foil. I find the larger values are improved upon with a true copper bypass cap. Best,E | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Compass, you actually hit on something. I was going to mention it but thought it was not worthwhile. The reviews I read say they have a minimum impedance of around 3.9 ohms in the bass. That should be fine, but if your amp was weak for some reason... | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING Can you be a little more specific about what you want to achieve? In general, in professional systems they use delays and EQ's to add fill speakers close to the listener, while still giving the illusion that the sound is coming from the main stage... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Hi Willie,I don't think the specification is the whole story. 38 Hz is fine for a -3dB point but it is the rest of the frequency response that determines the balance.WIlson's, Focal's and others have a bass bump (which is quite musical) in the bas... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Going by review data, the issue is really the speaker tuning. The CM4 measurements are almost tilted upwards. You could support it with a sub, move the speakers closer to the rear wall, or add some EQ. The speakers seem, by measurement, to be more... | |
| Yamaha A 500 Integrated Amp Modifications Time for new power caps.Otherwise, either love it as is, or swap it. :) Best,E | |
| Need some recommendations for fronts in a 7.1 system in a small 9 by 10 room (1000 budget) DIY? :) https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/01/introduction-to-georgia-tech-leach.htmlDesigns are free. I make no money if you build them or not. Definitely not overly bright. | |
| Surround Processor Upgrade to improve surround music? Well, if you want to go absolutely nuts, and don't want to quite get to Theta Casablanca levels, you could get an Oppo 103 with a coax mod board. It outputs all 8 channels on discrete, 2 channel SPDIF coaxial connectors, letting you buy 3-4 DAC's ... | |
| Why does unplugging/replugging TT leads from tube phono pre-amp reset dead channel? It's more likely the preamp has a loose RCA plug / cold solder joint. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Well that is odd, I just talked to them via e-mail about 2 weeks ago. :( I hope nothing bad has happened, good team and great products. Best,E | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Have you tried their support e-mail?? Open up a new ticket. They usually get back to me in a couple of days. https://mytekdigital.com/hifi/support/They are a small outfit though so I get the impression they get slow during trade shows and whatnot.... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hi OP,Yes, the original Brooklyn has the same "weird symptom" of playing back Redbook far better than one would expect any DAC to. However, a couple of other new DAC's also have this peculiarity. :) Something has happened recently, perhaps with th... | |
| McIntosh led lamp replacement help I should point out, sometimes the math doesn't work, and you need to use an L pad instead, which adds a second resistor. If you get within a couple of volts however you'll be golden. Best,E | |
| McIntosh led lamp replacement help Hey Norm,That is a great idea. It will reduce the power consumed. You want to measure the voltage at the lamps now, and compare to the voltage required by the LED strip as well as the current, and add a resistor as needed to compensate. Essentiall... |
