| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Some series xover related pages: Graddon, Murray H, K Lehma, Jon Risch.Of course, any ref list on xovers would be incomplete without the frd consortium.Cheers | |
| Audio Aero Pirma DAC versus MF TriVista 21 DAC Re: wire. I would suggest 1-1,2mm magnet wire (pure copper, enameled). A good, fresh, beer helps, too:) Cheers! | |
| Audio Aero Pirma DAC versus MF TriVista 21 DAC Try a (cheap) single-core copper speaker cable. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Ooops, no "edit" function anymore. Well, the BIG Heil is dipole, of course, the other one has a back chamber... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons As per Skrivis, my own (unsollicited) opinion would be slightly in favour of a series -- IF you can easily get the drivers' electrical parametres VERY close (or near identical). Again, I'm just a hobbyist -- not a professional.As to the Heil, 3kHz... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Simon-- a side issue re, the Pass: why not contact Nelson Pass (as in Pass 250) via a post at diyaudio.com/ passlabs. Maybe s/one has encountered the same problem before. Cheers | |
| Audio Aero Pirma DAC versus MF TriVista 21 DAC Since you're asking generally, here's my *opinion*: the AA.Heard both (& a few others) play orchestral music in a Burmester system, A-Physics spkrs. Is there s/thing you don't like about the AA Prima (I note that you have one)? Cheers! | |
| Question about speaker power handling As above -- don't worry. Speakers will be fine! | |
| Lugnut needs your advice on small speakers Following up on T's diy route, other killer kits are also available. One strong contender (and Voigt competitor) is the Hammer Dynamics kit.A good Voigt or a Hammer should, in most (all) respects, outperform small commercial spkrs... | |
| Lugnut needs your advice on small speakers I have heard the little Triangles (in fact had them @ home for a while). I enjoyed playing music through them.To simplify description: they are pleasant to listen to as long as one doesn't have inordinate expectations. They are neither the most de... | |
| How Big is Your Music Collection Jes45 sezI did it (collect LPs/ music) because it became an addiction, almost like a disease.Yup, as you say, exactly. Very much like a disease!And this can reach ridiculous levels on classical: +500 LPs and a few cds of Beethoven Symphonies &... | |
| Virgo II owners: What amp to buy? My budget is under $2k if possibleWhy not consider one of the Odyssey amps? They're quite affordable new and, reportedly, their design is from the same stable as yr pre. | |
| Deqx vs. Behringer or Dbx Digital Crossovers? Coe -- I have a feeling the Accuphase offers more of an equaliser functionality rather than a "xover" one (as in the dexq or the Behringer).Controlling volume is indeed a tricky issue. In my case, we fed an analogue signal to the dexq via a passiv... | |
| Virgo II owners: What amp to buy? Excuse my stating the obvious, but why not use a Symphonic Line 7? You have the pre from the same stable... (v.good pre, btw).Must be some used 7's around!Incidentally, I once used a 7 on a pair of Virgos to very good effect I might add:) | |
| JMLab Mezzo Utopia VS Verity Audio Parsifal I'd also recommend the JMLab. For the same reasons... |
