| Audio Physic Yara vs. Revel M20 I happened to compare these, playing in a small room (~40) driven by a class A ss (~80W/channel). So, not very indicative of your situation. I mostly listen to and judge by classical with some blues thrown in... the cables were Nordost Valhalla.Wh... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Indeed, Sean -- In my case, I don't know if I was reducing ringing (although it seems likely). My objective however is to come closer to the original -- that being what's stored on the medium -- hence my remark about "what's actually on the cd":) ... | |
| Speakers monitors for SE amplifiers I beg to differ somewhat. While I know where Big is coming from (small room doesn't need high spl) I would caution against any spkr that's not capable of giving you ~100 db peak with yr amps. It's a matter of feeling some musical energy against li... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Interesting, Lapaix. My *thinking* was along the same lines -- but hardly as articulate as yours! ThanksOn a different note, using weight on top of the cdp did change the resulting sound somewhat. The only word I can give is "bolder", a bit like i... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Thanks JD & Sean. Actually put things into perspective -- much obliged!As you suggest JD, there was horizontal motion that I tried to limit using cones etc inbetween the shelves -- but no cigar. But by sort of stabilising the horizontal motion... | |
| Hiff Eff. Full Range Fostex Driver question Gmood1 -- the +100 db spl simply allows you (or should) lots of headroom using little energy. Useful for dynamics!It doesn't mean that you're obliged to listen at 1W average! BUT, if there is a transient in the programme matl that requires 30db he... | |
| speaker cables with new speakers Unfortunately I know next to nothing about burn-in ('xcept for spkr drivers). My amp circuits take some time to stabilise on turn-on (and they thereby sound much better), but that hardly answers your question. Sorry!There are many threads on the s... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? Mikelavigne sez:the Shure (...) works fine as a backupMike, how do you get round avoiding the (cartridge) magnets attracting the metal base?? Whenever I get the stylus in the slot, the whole metal pivot sticks to the cartridge:( Of course the read... | |
| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? El -- OK, I'm in for your centre SW. Driven left+right into one.I would raise the added drivers called a SW -- to two, open baffle. What do you say? | |
| Mr Clean Eraser for Stylus Cleaning IF you do wet it, do so with distilled water! | |
| speaker cables with new speakers The arrow usually points to the load (i.e. the spkrs in this case).No damage if you try the other way round so, don't worry! | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Lapaix -- Sean or others... you might provide some insight: when I tried using an air bladder (bicycle inner tube) sandwiched between two maple shelves and alternatively used a Neuance on top, both sources SUBJECTIVELY seemed to slow down. I *did*... | |
| Who needs spellcheck? But isn't it MORE difficult to write, IF the actual letters in any word MUST be the same anyway -- albeit in "creative" order ex the first & last?For a moment there I thawt we kood do away wid speling altogether -- strike it from the korikolum... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Hallo, JD!Yes, those Winters Lessons are a classic!Maybe I should look into your (teddy) bears scheme..:)Still crazy after all these years! (isn't there a song along these lines?) Cheers | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? This is you vs. a solid century of scientific principles, math and logic --a small point: a logically acceptable syllogism is not necessarily materially correct.Surely you're not saying that one should use pure logic to extrapolate within the real... |
