| Dealing with subwoofer Nulls Grrr. I cannot type cogently I guess. By tilting I mean tilting down. So an example target curve:16 Hz - 90 dB32 Hz - 88 dB64 Hz - 86 dB | |
| Dealing with subwoofer Nulls Grrr. I meant when you EQ, find your lowest reasonable output. Somewhere around 16 - 30Hz. Take that as your starting point, then EQ between that point and the upper limits of the sub's output. For me that would be 16 Hz to 120 Hz. The tilt is up ... | |
| Dealing with subwoofer Nulls By the way, WITH and only with bass traps it becomes possible to effectively, but not completely, deal with nulls and ringing modes with a single subwoofer and EQ.I find this the neatest (as in least messy) and most cost effective solution. Howeve... | |
| active room nuetralizer??? @auxinput I'm taking this to another thread so we don't stomp on the OP's questions. :)Erik | |
| active room nuetralizer??? Well, for slap-echo, the Bag End and other similar devices effectiveness is zero. :-) Slap echoes are too coherent. Bass traps, etc. rely on the energy in the bass collecting in the corners. By sucking the energy out of the corners you eliminate t... | |
| active room nuetralizer??? Hi OleSchool! I'm doing OK. :) The thing about items like this is they are kind of limited in application, and require their own care/feeding and power. Given that you live off-grid I wouldn't want to be adding to your power draw any more than yo... | |
| active room nuetralizer??? Bag End has a unit that has been reviewed and works as expected, plus Bag End has a very good rep:http://bagend.com/products/series/active-bass-trap/Other cool alternatives are to get some Klipsch corner horn speaker cabinets and fill them with fi... | |
| Krell KRS-200 Capacitors Hi Srafi,The most important is to keep the amplifier from blowing up. :) Electrolytic caps have a lifespan of about 20-30 years, and when any of them goes it can take a lot more of the amp with it. If the transistors are no longer made this can ef... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Delay rlb61,The point to all of the settings is to have as seamless an integration as possible. Meaning, your FR is flat and unperturbed through out. The best way to find out how to do this is to measure. You may find you can do a good job with your pho... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise Kind of. So in the US wiring is usually black, white , green. Then in rare, audiophiliac related cases you have a shield. The green is the safety ground. You MUST connect the green conductor to the center pin at both ends. No and /or/buts. MUST co... | |

| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE I’m using ICEPower units and have no such issue. The noise from the Parasound P7 is far worse, and still only detectable close to the speakers. If Bel Canto is using their own linear supplies however I could see this as an issue. Also, digital amp... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers Hi Redfuneral,That’s a complicated one! It’s also to do with the music you play. :) For your 10 Watt tube amp, check the rated input. I’m sure it’s probably closer to 50 watts. I’m not a tube guy, so I could be way off. I can tell you my ICEPower ... | |
