| Can someone guide me as to what Single driver ?? Bdchem: 1) YOU build the cabinets (or the friendly carpenter, or friendly diyer in the neihbourhood)2) No it's easy to build them. You can even get the wood cut according to plans and just do the assembly (and gluing, etc). That's recommended rout... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player Guido: the (...) enharmonic shriek of the high-speed drill of my dentistLOL!OTOH, how does the drill do midbass frequencies (or do you switch drills).. | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Blindjim -- you've measured that ~3dB loss, in what? Or is it an overall, ball-park figure in resulting spl?I'm curious, thanks. | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? Psychic: :)Not far from the truth (if at all far...)!!if one assumes it ("good system") means as accurate as one can afford, then such a system is at the mercy of the recordingI would qualify this to "accurate to the point source". I like such a s... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Quite honestly, i'm surprised that nobody has done anything like thisSean, FM Acoustics does this -- but for tis own products. As you note, the designer hasn't published anything on this.BUT, if you buy a complete system from FM (i.e. electronics ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? This Apogee "Synergy" eulogy vs Analysis "Amphitryon" just caught my attention. It's intersting to compare published specs referred to above by DraculeThe Synergies spec 95dB "in 3000 c.ft room". Hence ~90 (?) single spkr anechoic. The Amphi etc s... | |
| Analog experiment Aball sez: You think maybe the phono stage in my C42 isn't good enough? Or maybe the turntable should be a better one? Well then, I am even less interested in vinyl if that is the case.I understand that. That's exactly the problem many people have... | |
| PRat: a DAC or transport thing? Mrtennis sezi tend to concentradte on timbre and tonal balance.Ideally, in a well set up system, you would NOT have to concentrate on anything -- but the music. Of course, even in such a well set up system I believe there is an individual "minimum... | |
| PRat: a DAC or transport thing? Chris sez:in my experience PRaT can also be enhanced by slightly raising the midrange/midbass outputIn mine too. Also Linn's. And Naim's to a certain extent. But it has to be "clear" rather than "muddy" sounding. Cheers | |
| PRat: a DAC or transport thing? Sean Not only is the presentation delivered harmonically rich i.e. full of overtones, but also with the right timing of delivery due to reduced signal loss and smearing. That is, the overtones retain the proper pitch and are delivered in step with... | |
| How does Throens TD160 stand up? There's a mod recipe for the 160 -- I'll try to find it & mail it to you. Maybe you can try googling this. The actual cost is minimal -- but there's some elbow-grease. You change the springs, remove the plasticky washers, & etc.Keep that 1... | |
| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? Marco, no: I don't mean well-positioned speakers image well. That's easy to do. The difficult part is to cuple the two composite sound sources together and, as a couple, inside the room, in such a way as the maximum of energy and information emana... | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? I can't but second all the modders' -- go ahead & pick up the soldering iron. Skushino & Pauly in particular give excellent directions. I strongly suggest you follow Thorsten Loesch. Do print out Loesch's instructions and follow them caref... | |
| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? What factors most contribute to a system's ability to portray a realistic impression of live music when listening from a separate room in the houseNo set-up that I've experienced is any approximation to live/ real. Having said that, a realistic po... |
