| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? The lower you go, the more difficult things get. I can think of a dozen subs that would sound well if properly integrated. That means room treatment, crossover, and EQ. If you want the simplest, go with a relatively small sub, with a good auto-EQ ... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. @bdp24 From my conversations with Roger, it’s based on frequency response. Most curvilinears at the time were not very flat without significant EQ. Roger's stuff is flatter, with much better dynamic range. Earlier stuff did not have very well matc... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Sanders have some of the smoothest frequency response and best imaging in the lot. HOWEVER, the sweet spot is 1mm wide. You'll love it, but as soon as you move around it's merely a good speaker. In the sweet spot it's spectacular. I have no experi... | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures I just took delivery of an Astron with variable voltage and current. I ordered it from AstronDistributors.com and they were well priced and fast. UPS ground was not too bad. Astron has a rock solid output. Meter says 12V, actual output is closer t... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. @tomcy6 An "autoformer" describes the construction of the output transformer, while "output transformer" describes it's function. In this case they describe the same part of the amplifier. In an autoformer there is no secondary winding, and there... | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? GIK Acoustics. Best,Erik | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! Another option for you, try out the LM-1 kit. I just put this up on my desk in my bedroom. Unlike my main speakers, the LM-1 works VERY well in tight spaces. You get detail and air even when they are crowded. http://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Um, assuming there are no ground loops, and perhaps no other ground path, then the shield would absolutely become part of the circuit. Consider devices without a ground pin, otherwise yes, current would be distributed exactly as stated above. If I... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Sorry Aux, it doesn't add up like that unless you mean your + and - each have a pair of 20 AWG conductors. :) Just like with speaker cables. A single pair of 14AWG does not add up to a 12 AWG. :) Erik | |
| 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... |
