| Preamp between EMM CDSD & DCC2 & Gamut amps If you feel that a second pre is necessary (remember, the EMM has an active pre stage), then most probably an ultra clear device is indicated. Of the few I know, FM acoustics and Goldmund come to mind. Aesthetix is well regarded -- but I haven't h... | |
| WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET? Or you can buy Accuton based kits from the likes of W.A.R.Using a kit would be a pre-requisite first step, for anyone wishing to build an Accuton based speaker (unless one is very experienced. I, for one, am not).They are very difficult drivers an... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Rather than change the source, your target would be a FR that dips at 3kHz & falls over 10kHz, with no midbass coupling b/ween the spkrs (i.e. minimise "dynamics). What you want can easily be achieved with some room padding (1st reflections fo... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... Another option: Try an old Sansui (probably easier to find than a vintage Scott or Fischer). | |
| Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun. You can diy yr own gainclone for a few $/channel. Here's one recipe.Or check out these people.Cheers | |
| Transport for X-DAC Buy a used Teac cdp -- any model that uses their vmprs (or s/thing like that) transport mechanism. | |
| Servo controlled speakers and subwoofers Eldartford, you can also see it as LESS than 3db older than 25... not that old after all:) Happy Bday Sirspeedy! | |
| Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers? The Thors with upgrade xover cost me...$2K includes ship if I recall. $2K for the pairThe Thor design is free for the diy community. Also, disabuse yourself: it's not the drive units alone that make the spkr. There are good units from many manufac... | |
| How much does it cost? when you say that a driver complement cost 2000, wouldn't that equal to 200 to the manufacturerIf the drivers used are large production units (i.e. Scan, Vifa, Seas/excell, eminence, etc) there are substantial differences b/ween enterpise and reta... | |
| Does DK Design actually design and manufacture? Lrsky notes: ...we found many $.25 parts...This is an indicative figure, I suppose. 0,25 for a mass purchased passive component is not cheap -- it sounds average. Chips used in cdp cost $~4 or less (but yuo have to buy a few 1000s). | |
| Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters? ELdartford... that's a good thing. Losses are usually visible (slightly, but still). You must have equalised yr reproduced sound very well! | |
| Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters? Eldartford, I don;t doubt yr disc player measures flat on a sine & yr maggies likewise. Try (if feasible) to measure response (FR + PR) on a musical signal at listening position in room & compare to what's on the storage medium -- say the ... | |
| Possible Upgrade: requesting ideas If you like the omni sound, MBL have a relatively compact stand mounted spkr wearing the radial tweet & mid. The sound is good, slightly reminiscent of the ls3/5a -- but with significantly better HF extension and better LF extension. It's prob... | |
| How Important is Tube Matching? Do you know how to bias the tubes? If so, don't worry about matching the tubes. It's primarily each channel's L/R that has to be balanced -- which it is in yr Copland (it's one tube) | |
| B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass? Actually, Zaike, that's a very good point you're making & I agree totally.In a similar spirit, other mass manufacturers also produce highly performant products (take B&O & Sony for one spkr model each) -- and no, they aren't hand craft... |
