| Replacement capacitors exploding Maybe he solved his cap problem, I hope. | |
| testing a crossover For some reason I can't access your crossover photos I saw yesterday. Anyone else have this problem? | |
| testing a crossover Well if you have lifted one lead of each cap and they test good, I would say it's a short on the PCB. Check all the resistors just to be safe, most resistors open or go high when they fail. In one picture I saw a couple capacitor leads that looked... | |
| testing a crossover No NOT ac voltage, DC voltage. This is the offset voltage of the amp and I wanted to make sure they were low as THAT could be a cause of capacitor failure. | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding I absolutely agree about Clarity caps, they are excellent. I'm not sure the benefit would justify the cost for "stage monitors", but that's up to him. I personally haven't use caps in my home speakers in many years as I like active crossovers so m... | |
| testing a crossover The reason why the speakers work with a single amp and not when bi-amped is because the crossover is using different sets of inductors and capacitors. When the speakers are bi-amped you are using one set of inductors and capacitors, those are the ... | |
| testing a crossover Did you change all of the capacitors yourself? The caps look like they are good quality. | |
| testing a crossover I just looked at all of your crossover photos. Don't take the following comments the wrong way, but this is my honest opinion. You should take those crossovers out and tri-amp with an active electronic crossover, please. You will truly be amazed a... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks I share or showoff what ever music I'm into at the time. For me, it's not the detail of your system, it's the music you want them to hear and maybe to share your interest and enjoyment. | |
| testing a crossover Thanks imhififan, I didn't know that either. One other thing I thought you should check on both amps, both channels. How much DC voltage is present at the output terminals? | |
| testing a crossover I would like to help as I'm an avid bi/tri-amper. I would guess you've checked the cables and wiring to the amp and speakers? I don't know anything about the crossovers in the speakers, is it possible to draw a schematic or shoot some photos? I us... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? Okay some of you, I worked in a recording studio. I made a dB meter when I was 13 and it was calibrated to an NIST standard as my uncle worked for NIST. I don't dispute your list of sound levels. Some of the dB reading you guys are quoting must be... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? vinylshadow - You need to recalibrate your SPL meter. Simply NO way🤣 | |
| Apple Dolby Atmos Music - Absolute GAME CHANGER! Honestly, I am happy for you. Music is meant to be enjoyed, turn it up. | |
