| Can HI FI components really make music? Sheffb, I think your comments are valid but can't find any info on your speakers. Links to more info ????Just curious | |
| recommend entry-level high-efficiency loudspeakers Practical pairings of high efficiency speakers and low power SET amps to me does not include speakers in the low 90dB range. You need around 100 dB to really work with low power SET amps. That said, the options are very wide indeed, and in my opin... | |
| Best palindrome I gave it a little bit of thought and can't come up with even the slightest connection to anything remotely related to music or equipment. I can't believe this thread made it past the moderator. | |
| Damping Top of CDP Put something heavy and that will pour like sand in a zip lock bag. Then put that into a second bag in case you get a leak. Can't get much cheaper than that. | |
| Reducing room TEMP. when using tube equipment. The issue is not a matter of cooling the amps. The vast majority of the heat is being generated by the tubes so you have to get that heat out of the room to improve the situation. Some type of box to put the amps in with a dryer vent tube to exhua... | |
| Best isolation device Naim makes a highly regarded shelving system that uses glass shelves as do others. There are many misconceptions in this hobby. "Glass shelves are evil" is one of them.Unfortunately the best feet for your combination of shelving and equipment can ... | |
| can i play old 78's with a shure v15vmxr You should use a stylus designed to play these records. The size of the groove is much larger than modern records. Shure sells a stylus N78S that fits your cartridge for $40 that is designed for these records. | |
| Question about wattage. I'll assume your transducers are 4 ohms. Resistance in series adds up so putting the transducers in series makes a total of 12 ohms. This will decrease the total power available from the amp. The transducers will each take a portion of the power. ... | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? Braro, improvement after adding the room treatments was very significant. I have them in all corners, in the middle where every wall meets the ceiling, and behind me where the walls meet. The front corners and wall-ceiling interface had the most p... | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? Braro, I have Duos.I am not so much a fan of horns as I am a fan of SET amps and highly efficient speakers. Music is very dynamic and inefficient speakers require tremendous amounts of power to be dynamic. These high powered amps are not as musica... | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? I am going to keep the 3As and try to make them work. I have to, I just got em. Well, that is very sad. A very poor reason to keep anything. You said you are not thin skinned so here you go; Your speakers are lame, they always were lame, they will... | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? Check out Jeffrey Jackson's web site for a fine example of this approach. Not exactly cheap, but the good stuff rarely is | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? Yes, but the big problem is that live music is not only an aural event, it is also visual. Once they figure out how to create a realistic, full scale, 3 dimensional visual then I think the illusion will work.On the other hand, since you asked for ... | |
| Help with Caps if you can Jeffrey is right that going to a .1 will only make it worse. The impedance of a .33uF cap is 24,000 ohms at 20Hz. That means even with a relatively high amp input impedance of 100,000 ohms the response will be down about 2dB at 20Hz. That's quite ... | |
| Can anyone tell me what happened? "on but no load"is generally not a good idea. The equipment was designed and tested with inputs and outputs loaded so it is hard to predict what it will do unloaded. Might be just fine, who knows.There is no way that it got hot enough to start sm... |
