| DVR's and Apple TV sound Hi,I imagine things can change, espeically with 4k coming on board. I'm not really sure. :) But not sure what the problem is. If you have a DD capable processor/receiver you are pretty much going to be all set. Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Hi Tim,Yes, your analysis is correct. :) Too low impedance in the second poles _may_ lead to lowering of system impedance above the cut off. I know it’s weird, but I’ve seen it and modelled it a few times. It is a real effect. Whether that is what... | |
| DVR's and Apple TV sound Hi,Streaming you'll get either a stereo signal which is matrixed for surround, or Dolby Digital, which uses discrete channels. For the former, Neo is my preference. You should also try it in Music mode for music, as the center channel can be a lot... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? I really like the PV-10, as a fun, musical preamp but it is also a little noisy. :) If I had one again I would mod it and reduce the overall gain significantly. Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- So looking at the schematic, the two caps I would be most suspect of are C3 and C4. Note they have a resistor in series with them, so the overall resistance there must be important. I would suggest you go back to the original caps there, and liste... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Idahifi,Bring your problem over to DIYhifi, where you will find tons of speaker design geeks in the Multi-Way forum. :) http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/I can help you there more easily with pics, diagrams etc.Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Hi Idahifi,I think I know what happened. You removed electrolytic shunt caps without taking into account the reduced ESR. The easiest way to fix this is to replace the original shunt caps. By shunt, I mean caps that go towards ground, and are not ... | |
| Doh, left system off all night @kennythekey That is funny, good to know. ;) @wolf_garcia Yeah, I worry about having too many devices on, but my 3 HT amps take up like 21 watts while on, so I feel like I"m saving my bill and the environment by sticking with Class D. :) Best,E | |
| Duelund Capacitors?? Just FYI, I've listed my Duelund Silver Wax/Oil 0.047 caps on e-bay. :) Best,E | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Hi Dragon_vibe,EQ / DSP in subwoofers is almost mandatory and has more to do with how difficult room integration is, than creating better specs.I strongly encourage anyone considering a sub to get it with EQ/DSP. Right now the bet models I know of... | |
| USB wall outlets a source of noise in AC lines? Hi John, the question is whether you can hear it. :) Furman with LiFT and SMP provide some of the most cost effective line noise reduction, especially on sale. :) Best,E | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener rvPiano,Your room will have powerful room modes. Get a subwoofer which has very good auto-EQ. The best right now is JL, IMHO for music, but they are also super pricey. Also consider bass traps.Best,E | |
| Warm-up time. Those NuForce amps are very efficient, I would leave them on all the time. I recently got to listen to an ARC integrated, and about 45 minutes is how long it took. It started out OK, then got really grainy for a while, then came out smooth and swe... | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do Thinking about this problem today, contact Paradigm and ask if there is an undocumented upgrade. Sometimes speakers go out, develop issues like this, and the manufacturer makes a change to the crossover to reduce the load on the tweeter.It's a lon... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Hi RvPiano, I think you have the right approach, in that money and size won’t solve your issues as much as careful integration will.First, what are your current main speakers, and what are your room acoustics like?Best,E |
