| Popping noise in my Quad ESL 63 pro monitor Could also be a cap. Whatever it is, you must check out the circuit. If you're not experienced & qualified to do this, do NOT do anything. Rahter, get a qualified electronics person to do the checking -- there are high voltages in there! | |
| Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room Well, I have, in a slightly larger room + higher ceiling (~350, ceiling @~10') and it was difficult to get coherent low freq out of them. Also, reflected sound was a pain; you can ,maybe, couple midbass -- but at the expense of bass. If you go for... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde So, I ordered the Violons.Good for you!I need to think about how I am going to drive them with my own meagre SET's...Others have given comprehensive info. My info comes from playing with Violons (& Campanile) using Mahler 5 (Barbirolli) & ... | |
| Break in period If I may "explore" Shadorne's comments above, we may find similarity rather than disagreement:My point was that audio engineers [would aim to] design things to sound consistent and significant audible changes ascribed to [any number of parametres,... | |
| What web-sites have scematics for SET amps ? Try here and see if you can't find s/thing. Check the links too. | |
| balanced to unbalanced connection You can use a tranny as Rwwear suggests. Since you diy yr cables I suggest you try out a rca-xlr cable and check if there's noise. If there isn't any, forget the trannies. | |
| Break in period Drubin notesthe system was on, playing in the background. At one point during the evening, I began to notice extraordinary detail and elegance from the system. My brother noticed it as well. The amp sounded great! Well, yes. The circuit will stabi... | |
| Transport/DAC upsample question BB, a "transport" only reads data contained on a disk. It doesn't sample (upward or downward). The D(igital) to A(udio) C(onverter) does that.So, no problem. All you need is an output fm the transport (usually labeled "digital out" on cdp's). Cheers | |
| Amplification for Linkwitz Orion ++ If I understood what you are saying it would be better to avoid the extra terminations at the speaker and go direct from driver to ampExactly -- as long as you don't mind the wires (you might hide them s/how). Cheers | |
| Transverse-mounted ribbon tweeters? You'd be widening the power response, narrowing the vertical response and widening the radiating surface horizontally...Plus difficult to align the tweet with the next driver in line...Why would you want to do that?? | |
| Amplification for Linkwitz Orion ++ I'm considering using wiring from the Alpha Core inductors for internal speaker wiring and going with Alpha-Core silver cables for the speaker cablesNot sure I've understood. Fm Orions backwards: connect each driver DIRECT to amplifier (higher vol... | |
| Lamm ML2 - ML2.1 I definitely preferred the ML2 to the later model.I don't know the circuit differences -- but there must be some...Listening was through horns. (BTW, horns were the only available spkrs; I am not saying you MUST use horns.)I remember that mid-high... | |
| Help: Order of importance: Pre, Amp, DAC, speakers Ivor T. of Linn has taught this theory for many years. Garbage in > Garbage out. True, but Linn touted this *particularly* at the time they were only selling source components in the audio market.While losses incurred fm the source cannot be re... | |
| SF Extrema,Few q have u heard hyepx DIY amps?do u think it can be good matchI have heard hypex amps made out of the mid-powered modules (not driving the extrema). They were OK. I've never heard any hypex driving Extrema.You need a very stable amplifier with a lot ... | |
| TOP Format As per Mike (Lavigne) but with slight alterations:1. master tape (15 ips) under close to ideal conditions.2. 45 rpm or DTD vinyl3. 33,3rpm vinyl4. high quality analog tape (1st gen reel-to-reel)5. FM radio live broadcasts under optimum conditions ... |
