| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Driver aligment isn;t easy to do well (wavelengths are so short up there). A Supravox 215 fron mounted on the baffle and a tweet back mounted with a makeshift waveguide, blended quite well at ~8-9kHz. All open baffle.bastanissells an open baffle k... | |
| Tchaikovsky symphony 5 favorite recording Klemperer/Philarmonia or Matacic/Czech Philarmonic. I prefer Klemperer.If you want a russian feel: Yevgeni Mravinski/Leningrad Symphony ORch. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Cdc: forget the perfect piston. It'd be nice to have -- but let's just dream for now:) An 8" driver has the advantage of being able to cope with mid & low-mid frequencies w/out extreme excursion. A smaller driver would be straining. OTOH, it W... | |
| Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue? I would take Onhwy61's advice seriously. Other than an overwhelming mid-upper register (say, ~2-6kHz) that is tiring, the physical malaise you experience shouldn't be there. UNLESS of course, you listen really loud (and 10-12 on the volume can be ... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Thank you, Raul. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Cdc-- I only dimly remember the Jordan circuit, but it looked like a contour rather than BSC (it was across the driver -- but don't hold me on this!).Skrivis:Re: first order+ drivers. Why not use a wide-range drivers -- i.e. a 8" + supertweet, the... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? RAUL -- did you use the daisy-lazer kit for yr cdp? | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Cdc -- there may be numerous advantages to multi-driver spkrs but spl is not necessarily one of them (think of those 22.000 gauss Lowthers with a front horn).I love wide-range drivers. Single wide-range drivers are actually rare; remember the whiz... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Boa & Lkdog are the most clearsghted of us, of course. Returning to the senseless entertainment:)What makes the price of a 20k player? Here's one calculation method: Per UNIT Total: (direct cost+ indirect cost + financial cost)= $ 3,5-5k for S... | |
| How can you measure length of arm To complement Viridian, the what the effective length should be is given by the (tone)arm manufacturer. | |
| Where to place - need some hand holding please Yes, move them forward and keep the distance fm side walls Asymmetrical. I would guess the right spkr closer to b/shelf than left spkr to wall. In gauging the distances measure fm woofer cone to whatever you're measuring. | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? I would venture a guess that it's probably s/thing silly well hidden on a printed circuit at the local feedback stage -- but you've obviously thought of that already!Oh well... | |
| Triangle Magellan - anyone own or heard one I have listened to Magellans. They offer a very lively sound, with transient attack, far field listening preferred to nearfield; normal /big rooms advisable. Ideally biamped (I would guess) otherwise the mid-upper register seemed to gain ascendanc... | |
| Audio Aero Pirma DAC versus MF TriVista 21 DAC Just go to any electronics supplies or electronics repair shop and ask for magnet wire (the wire used in winding magnets, voice-coils for speaker drive units, etc). They'll give you the wire for a few Euro. All you need are about 12-15 m to make a... | |
| Where to place - need some hand holding please David- try the following (slightly asymmetrical placem't).1st mark where your spkrs are now (so oyu can go back if necessary).2. Pull the spkrs out ~3' fm the corner cabinets (back centre of spkr to middle flat surface of cab -- the one that's 1" ... |
