| 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 | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Crazyeddy: Part # is MP821-5.80-1% $14.95 each + shipping. Not a huge savings, but still... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Crazyeddy I spoke with a rep and explained what I was doing. He too said he couldn't sell me the same resistor package as provided to Wilson, but was able to sell me individual resistors, with short leads. They came in a hard plastic holder all l... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Brioklynluke: Horn speakers by design, tend to be very bright. I own a set of Khorns as well as Cornwalls. At one time, I installed a rheostat on my midrange horns on my Khorns, to turn the midrange down. It worked well. I guess a good EQ, could ... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Crazyeddy: I get my from Caddock. They will sell u the same resistors, in value, but u have to solder longer leads on. The first replacement set I bought from Wilson were around $60. The last set I priced, thru my dealer were around $160+. You ar... | |
| Bill Legall-MillerSound speaker driver repair Bretmcee: I would first say Bill says in his website, to call-not email. I have spoken with him many times and he did a great job on my Wilson woofer. He gave me a price, but upon examining the driver, called me to inform me the repair was simple... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Crazyeddy: Where do you purchase your resistors? | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? IMHO, you need a filter, or (cough), an eq to filter out anything below 15 hz. Some of it could be acoustical feedback. I thinks it’s much more simple, than a mismatch or incorrect setup of tone arm/equipment. |
