| Warm sounding amp to a mixer Well, it would be funky, but also kind of a good mix is a used Yamaha Pro Natural Sound P series amp from the 80's? You can find them from around 45 watts to 500/ch. Best,Erik | |
| Warm sounding amp to a mixer Speakers? Room? Music? | |
| Adding second system for vinyl within a Home Theater environment What's wrong with your HT system for that? :) | |
| JL F113 vrs SVS SB13 How big is your room? Also, are you able to measure your system together? Before you buy more gear I'd make sure the room was completely dialed in.Panels are nice, but they aren't bass traps. Measurements would be where I'd start, or add soffit tr... | |
| Dueland CAST PIO And... this conversation just took a turn to a world I'm going to stay out of. | |
| JL F113 vrs SVS SB13 Room acoustics already? Bass EQ? You are much better off with a good EQ and room treatment and an SVS than the JL sub alone. If you don't have either, I'd keep your rel, contact GIK Acoustics, and do some research into sub eqs at Room EQ Wizard pa... | |
| Dueland CAST PIO Duelund resistors are weird. They have some sort of thermal coefficient built in they call a good thing, but it only works if the speakers heat up to match. Audyn TC caps are outstanding bypass. Right now 0.10uF at PE are running $16. Pretty good... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? The drain is in contact with the shield across the length of the cable. It IS the contact for the shield. You never solder or crimp to a delicate foil shield like this directly.Connect the drain at 1 end only, and place it towards the source for b... | |
| Ayre Codex Mytek Brooklyn is just under $2k, and the Schiits are all very good. | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? BL-1 does have a shield! You just don't realize it. It's super-thin foil. You are probably cutting through it when you pull off the insulation. | |
| Using Tape Out from Preamp for powered sub woofer. It's not a stupid question, but you cannot use it for a sub. :) The problem with the Tape Out loop is that the volume control doesn't control the level so your sub will always play at maximum.Better to get a Y splitter, or use the speaker level in... | |
| Polarity of speaker drivers Well, I think that trying to divine what speakers will sound better or worse based on crossover complexity is very difficult indeed. While I have my own preferences for drivers, and crossover components, I would always let my ears listen before wo... | |
| Why warm amps sound better. I know, I was just thinking about the worst examples to help tease out the "why." | |
| Why warm amps sound better. I have no idea. I’ve heard this much worse in tube gear than SS though. I listened recently to an ARC integrated amp, which kind of acted like a pendulum until it was fully warmed up. At first, cold it was OK. While warming up it got really hard,... | |
| focal 1038 be or sonus faber olympica As a contrasting sound, listen to Monitor Audio. See if you like that sound more or less than your current choices. |
