| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley, I'm curious if you have tried the orange Jupiter caps? Specifically made to reproduce vintage sounds. Best,E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! My current "ideal" system is a 6.5" mid-woofer with subwoofer. This let’s me use significant DSP on the lower 2-3 octaves, but I truly only use it for movies. I would use it all the time but engaging the crossover in the preamp I use (Parasound P... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Well, we're far off topic now, but I believe the Snell A models used woofers with added mass to lower the resonant f and gain bass extension. A poured potting compound or something like that. Also shortened the lifespan of the driver since the sus... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Hey @asvjerry Usually when I hear about issues integrating woofers with very light tweeters it's a frequency response issue, and integration with the room issue. Below 400 Hz especially, woofers are going to have issues the tweets will never have,... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Please replace Roger Sander's "new" company, Sander's Sound where I typed InnerSound. Sorry Roger, I'm stuck in the past. http://sanderssoundsystems.com/ | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Driver QualityLots of high tech labels may be ascribed to drivers. Such as:BerylliumDiamondCeramicAMTRibbonRing RadiatorAnd that’s fine, but truth is that in all of these types of tweeters manufacturing quality varies a great deal. For instance, A... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Dispersion - This measures how wide or how tall a driver’s output is vs. frequency response. Like many other factors, there is no 1 best type of dispersion. The wider a driver’s output, the wider the "sweet spot" or where a listener may be and sti... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You know, about getting things right, sound may be a lot like mom's cooking. You get used to things being a certain way and that's it for the rest of your life. :) Nothing wrong with that, but it's good to recognize where you got your palate from.... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Well, if you buy a kit that is pre-designed like from @pbnaudio you can get excellent price/performance. Learning good speaker design from scratch takes time. No, trial and error really is not the way to go. :) Honestly, unless you want to spend s... | |
| Center channel speaker to match Snell Type J speakers? Hmmm, well given the tweet, want to consider DIY? :) The LM-1C I posted would probably be a very good match. Tweet from same manufacturer. Design is free:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/03/introducing-lm-1c.htmlShould be used with s... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund resistors are "weird." They claim to have a high thermal coefficient (resistor value change rapidly with heat) that somehow magically makes them change value correctly to compensate for drivers warming up. Problem is there are lots of plac... | |
| Roon vs. Squeezebox Server (Logitech) I have not tried Roon, but I use LMS exclusively via USB 2.0 to a Mytek Brooklyn DAC and it's fabulous.The current limitation is DSD is only via DoP, which is fine, but only does up to DSD 2x More recent updates have added the ability to play thro... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings @jimman2 Well, there’s a good argument to have. In the end, we don’t spend money to make oscilloscopes or microphones happy, it is all about what moves us to connect with and replay music, by ourselves or with those we love. I think there is room ... | |
| Experience with Parasound P5? I personally think the P5 is overpriced, but not sure how much you are being charged for it. The P7 is a little pricier used (usually) but a much better pre. Best,E | |
| Are you using DH Labs? I use solid core silver available from Parts Connexion. They sound perfect, but physically brittle. I've had a couple of them break at the connection end in my XLR AND RCA cables. If I could afford stranded silver I would go that route. I have use... |
