| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Did a little searching on data-Bass.com At least on paper, the rotary woofers don't seem to do all that great compared to far less expensive solutions. Seem to be just as output and distortion limited as their coned counterparts, or at least close... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters I have seen a couple of takes on the fan as a woofer idea. Just FYI, as Dr. Leach was fond of saying, 0 Hz isn’t a sound, it is wind. Another was kind of a corkscrew in a tube. Seems to be long disontinued, the Phoenix Gold Cyclone by BNIB.Another... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Want to give a shout out to Carver, the concept for his magnetic field amplifier continues to be used by Yamaha, NuForce and possibly even NAD (D 3020).Carver's design used a linear amplifier of relatively small power handling and hooked it up to ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Speaking of Pass, it is important to note that the model for a high quality SS amplifier was first really codified in the late 1970's by the work of the late Dr. Marshall Leach Jr. Using bipolar transistors Dr. Leach's proposal set the blueprint f... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Anyone who thinks the best Class D is the lesser technology or always inferior sounding when compared to Class A is just not paying attention. "Will it sound like what you like?", That is a completely different discussion to have. If anyone can ma... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters The issue with deep bass is that it requires sacrifice to implement. Remove every sacrifice, and you are left with two choices: Bass limited systemsMuddy sounding, unpleasant bass And while audiophiles are accustomed to sacrificing in some ways, t... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here Hey Teo, that’s kind of a long and meandering post, and makes it hard to respond to. Let me see if I can address two of them: Yes, speakers with one or two 7" woofer’s are in the sweet spot of affordability, credible bass and above most dangerous ... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here Re Wilson Benesch:This is a 2.5 way speaker system, with an isobaric woofer. Moderately interesting. The woofer has 2x the motor strength, and the configuration minimizes asymmetry. The 2.5 way helps eliminate baffle step issues, and improves se... | |
| What is the most common cause of dropouts when streaming Tidal? Randy,I use AT&T via Sonic and have the exact same thing happen, but it's not just Tidal, it's everything. For days everything is good, then I'm getting bumped off everything every 15 minutes. I can tell because my music is wired, and it stops... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here Monitor Audio seems to have done a lot of work to make this happen more easily in cost effective fashion.Accuton has completely transformed the definition of motor and coil in their latest mid-woofer drivers. The first driver I posted about has ve... | |
| Tech That Flopped! The idea of a horse-less carriage is definitely not a flop. Steam engines for cars however, we can call a complete flop, though we can argue they put us on the road towards the internal combustion engine. Cars with electric engines are pretty ma... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! Coaxial ground isolators are fabulous ideas, I always use one just in case, but easy to test. Just disconnect any and all incoming coaxial leads. http://amzn.to/2wzJ3CqThere are also specific one's for satellite antennas, which need power injectio... | |
| McIntosh Speakers & Comb Filtering I don't know, I was going to order the $20k center channel to start.... (not!) | |
| Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party! @asvjerry Thanks so much. I don’t really mind it, but I do worry so many will pile on and discredit an important idea. The same people who will spend endless quantities on fuses and quantum room purifiers are sometimes exactly the same that refuse... | |
| DC leakage from power amps This is getting silly. Has Bryston ever made a tube amplifier? :) Best,E |
