| stereo subwoofers Calibrate each sub with its single, main speaker separately. Bass traps such as the GIK Acoustics Soffit traps will improve the results if placed before EQ is done. Best,Erik | |
| Switching from solid state to tubes Nothign wrong with the idea, but the dynamic range and power requirements for film are a lot more than for music. The biggest issue you would face is the disparity between your mains and everything else when listening to movies. You could alleviat... | |
| Planar ribbon speaker and Tubes Not working Please help! It sounds as if there is a decreasing impedance with frequency, a common problem with ESL's and tubes as well. :( We need the actual impedance curve to be sure. | |
| How long does it take to break in coupling caps? I think you will really like the CMR, but if not, you may want to go with the relatively new CSA. It is essentially the ESA line with the copper matrix. With larger CMR caps I have very good results using copper film bypass caps from Audyn, but ot... | |
| How long does it take to break in coupling caps? Hi Eddy,I am a big fan of Clarity in speakers but haven’t used anything that fancy inside electronics, only in speakers. The ESA's are relatively darker than the CMR's. My experience with speakers is that first 48-72 hours are the biggest change. ... | |
| Room Correction I find the GIK Soffit Traps and lesser bass panels quite attractive, and better performing. Also, as written by experts in room acoustics, bass traps allow EQ work. The combination is unbeatable.Above this however, tight bright rooms need help too... | |
| Tons of Tandsberg stereo equipment just dropped on eBay The amp did WONDERS with the Snell A/III - Controlled the speaker like nothing I had ever heard, and turned the entire room into an effortless bellows. | |
| Tons of Tandsberg stereo equipment just dropped on eBay And of course, the FM tuners were considered among the very best you could buy, ever. | |
| Tons of Tandsberg stereo equipment just dropped on eBay The top of the line player was among the very best! :) Certainly a good looker! Erik | |
| Room Correction I should also say, if you are interested in DIY solutions, the LM-1 is ideal because it is specifically designed for near-wall and bookshelf placement. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-lm-1-bookshelf-version.htmlIt has relativ... | |
| Room Correction Room correction is fine, but it is no substitute for good room acoustics, and speakers which match your listening style. First, talk to GIK Acoustics. They have great products and advice, they can help you out. Putting up absorbent curtains, even ... | |
| Tons of Tandsberg stereo equipment just dropped on eBay I recently had a 3000 series amplifier. While the bass control was outstanding, I have to agree with one of the contemporary reviewers that the overall amp sounded pretty grainy. << sigh >> I wouldn't mind picking up a few of their amp... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? kosst,You don’t pay me so I have no obligation to meet any sort of criteria. Your claim that mega buck speakers are superior. Back that up first, then I’ll consider playing your game. Oh, no, I won’t. Just look at the waterfall, distortion and com... | |
| ROGAINE - Have you noted improved hearing with use? It makes sense, but maybe not how you intend! :) Your hair is part of your listening experience. If you have grown more hair, you could actually be hearing better because of the effects of your hair around your ears, not in them. :) Best,E | |
| Spearit Sound Inventory I had no idea Spearit Sound was going out of business! :( You are right, between NAD, Conrad Johnson, Krell and Focal, they had a pretty choice inventory. Many many times I almost bought gear from them, then the reality that I aldready had 3-4 ste... |
