| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Sorry, guess I'm the one that jumped to a conclusion. I was not even thinking about amps internal to the speakers. | |
| testing a crossover I can guess, but that would be uncalled for and premature. | |
| Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies Thanks, very interesting. I would like the hear more once you have burned it in and had time to fiddle with it. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Active crossovers are the BEST. Contrary to what hilde45 said, the opposite is true, gives you more amplifier options. Benefits - Almost total elimination of intermodulation distortion, which is what your ears are most sensitive too. No phase shif... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Martins are excellent speakers and I do like them a lot, but when I heard the Omen Defs Mk.2 next to them I was amazed. And it was not an efficiency thing as I had my dB meter calibrated to an NIST standard with me at the time. Compare as many spe... | |
| testing a crossover I just looked at the crossover too, not good. Would be very easy to create a disastrous mistake, not to mention the EMI and RFI problems. Heat is not a friend of caps as you know. | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding I have not seen the high end films, but haven't looked. That's why I appreciated the link to Madisound. Yes I agree about searching, I too miss those big ass catalogs... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue I don't agree George, keep all resistances to a minimum. I use analog active crossovers all the way, you should try them. Only wire between the voice coils and the amplifier outputs! I'm using TDM 24CX-4 for my tri-amp system and Phase Linear X20 ... | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding Amen, rodman99999. For people that recommended Newark & Digikey, I only use them when I can't find what I want on Mouser. I've had better luck with Mouser overall and cheaper! | |
| testing a crossover pragmasi - I agree, rule out the simplest possible problems first. That's why asked about cables and connectors. Did we ever get an answer about that? I'm going to look at the schematic now. Good luck! | |
| Test and repair amp mijostyn - Guess you didn't read the OP's post where he said the worst thing for him would be for him to do it... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city I would seriously look at some Zu Audio Omen Def Mk.2 speakers. I love them because they are efficient at 101B/watt and very clear especially with vocals. Jewel is one of my favorite singers. I'm a fan of a minimum number of drivers per speaker.... | |
| Phono without ground wire? Whatever sounds good. No damage will occur. | |
| HiFi Furniture Our kegs were only in the dorms during parties. We needed to return them in order to have enough $$ to buy another... | |
| HiFi Furniture I've been using milk crates since college, also egg cartons. I gave up the egg cartons once I got married... I have cut down ones as low as 4 inches, several different heights. You can even screw one side of Nobsound springs into them to reduce th... |
