| Bass trapping - corners or walls? I have made four "ASC" type of traps, going by their diagram. They have helped with general slap back immensely, however, IMO, if you have a bass problem, you will need to go with either a parametric eq, or something besides ASC type devices. It... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I have to disagree with the former posts abouit horn speakers not sounding bright. I have powered both Cornwall’s and Klipschorns with different amps. They have a tendency to sound bright to me. We all hear things differently. As I suggested, y... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? Oem_wheels: Sounds like u made up your mind. Wanted to edit my previous post. The Calypso does not have the demagnetizer. That's my Rhea that does. Very kind of everyone to not point out my error. The Calypso does have tape monitor rca outputs for... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? O_holter: Sorry I misunderstood you, conerning the bump during cd playback. Since it's only when playing vinyl, common sense dictates it has to be in your TT. Too bad u don't know someone who could bring their TT over for an A/B comparison. Goo... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? If you’re hearing a periodic bump and it’s keeps a perfect rhythm, has to be in your transport, except you said it does it on cd too. 🦄 | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Another thought, you may have a bad crossover in your speaker, but that would have to be both speakers failing and that’s very unlikely, but virtually everything you’ve described makes no sense. Don’t get the wrong idea-I believe you, it just does... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? O_holter. As I said and agree with CT_0517-I think it acoustical feedback going back into your cartridge. Today I am trying some new phono interconnects and they’re shorter, so I had to take one TT off my “floating” support platform and placed it ... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Brooklynluke. I realize you have to consider the family opinion and optimize your space, but nothing will make up for proper placement. Place them where they sound the best, mark that place and position them there when u want to do serious listeni... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls I have this problem with my main speakers-not my subs and dot ant to lose my good sound, going thru my subs as a crossover. I have a Casablanca 3, (just taking up space) I guess I could put in the tape monitor loop?? It's very versatile. Guess I n... | |
| Talk but not walk? Michaelgreenaudio: Yes there are recordings where the highs and lows have been rolled off, thus some would say it’s a bad recording by being poorly produced, engineered etc. I don’t care how your system or room is tuned,you can’t get back somethi... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls When first starting out in what may be considered higher end equipment, I was told EQ is a four letter word. After years of incorporating different room treatments and still having issues with too much mid bass, I decided to try a Samson S curve 2... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? +2 for Calypso. Sounds very clear, fully balanced, many impedance loads to choose from and has a built in demagnetizer if your using MC carts. | |
| To VPI TT users, please provide your experience Gillatgh: Ive had a VPI Scoutmaster for a couple of years and keep meaning to buy a spare belt, but haven't. One thing I do, is give the platter a spin, while turning on the motor. This makes for less wear on the belt, when then motor first starts. | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? O_holter: I'm convinced your problem comes from acoustical feedback. With a TT, placement is vital. I too had the same problem. After months of experimenting, I found that TT platform isolation cured my problem. I built a suspended platform usin... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Crazyeddy: I understand. I've looked many places and that's the best price I've found. BTW, I use a heat sink when I solder. Have never had a heat related failure. Steve |
