| Polarity of speaker drivers I put together a speaker kit, the LM-1, and posted the simulation files so you can play with crossover design yourself. This may help you get a better understanding of polarity and phase relationships. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/try-yo... | |
| Test CD for positioning speakers and subwoofer First, ask GIK Acoustics for help. Best products at the lowest prices and great advice. Once you have taken all their advice, you'll need OmniMic or Room EQ Wizard. The reviewers at Stereophile have been using OmniMic more often, but they don't kn... | |
| Apple TV and Sound Quality Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker does a good job on audio appliances like that. | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues Don't accept it back. They should have contacted you immediately about the damages. And I'm completely shocked CJ would do this, I've dealt with them before and they were the very model of professionalism.Best,Erik | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise @cleeds is absolutely right. You cannot just arbitrarily make a new ground. It's in violation of local and national codes, dangerous and wont' really get you much. It must be appropriately bonded to the house ground, which must be bonded to the ne... | |
| B&W Nautilus 800 vs 802D If you like the 802s.....Listen to Golden Ear, Triangle and Thiels. Also check out the new Sony speakers, They will be along, but not exactly, like what you seem to like. You may also like to listen to modern Monitor Audio, which are definitely go... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? @mahler123 nails it. I have the Brooklyn. There’s no glare in any format. They all sound good. What I did noticed with my previous dac is that a Remedy Reclocker improved the top octave resolution. The RR re-clocks everything to 96/24. After audit... | |
| Review: Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker One thing not enough consumer device makers test for is heat. Wonder what your ambient temp was?? :)Erik | |
| The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under Glad you are happy! :) Interesting. He's using series crossovers instead of the more common parallel types. Best,Erik | |
| Polarity of speaker drivers Forgot to mention, you can experiment with full-range drivers, those that have no crossover, relatively cheaply. Madisound is selling a complete kit on sale. Some people get a couple of hits of that and never look back to multi-way speakers again. | |
| Polarity of speaker drivers @sbank is right. However, that not every speaker maker has adopted time and phase matched designs should tell you something about how important it seems. If time coherence was that revolutionary no one would be able to sell any other kind of speak... | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! Parasound A21 would have gobs of power and may sound a lot warmer to you than the Brystons. Very quiet, very good sounding, and reasonably priced.If you must go expensive, try out Rowland's own amps. | |
| Input/Output line level transformers for digital glare If these are Jim Thiel era- Thiels, then I'm quite sure what the problem is. Your hearing is far too good for your age. You either have to get an excessively warm/mellow DAC's like the ARC DAC 8, more neutral speakers like modern Monitor Audio, or... | |
| Polarity of speaker drivers glai,Not by 90% of listeners, no. There are some who claim to be able to hear this difference, and I cannot prove if they can or cannot. All I can say is I most definitely cannot. What all listeners could hear is if the drivers are not matched pro... | |
| speakers for listener with Tinnitus +1 on EQ/tone controls as being your starting point. You really should figure out exactly what you need first, before doing speaker trading. You can do this most easily with an EQ. THEN worry about getting all audiophile about the speakers. |
