| I have a huge hump at 30Hz Thanks again to everyone. I just built a passive 2 pole high pass filter to feed my sub. After playing around with different component values and the settings on the sub, I have gotten much closer to a flat response. I'm only up about 5 dB at 30Hz... | |
| I have a huge hump at 30Hz Thanks so far. I am measuring with my modified (Sean instructions) Radio Shack SPL meter and confirmed by a local dealer with a nice RTA.My room is treated with some damping but it is my understanding that 30 Hz is too low to be damped by any prac... | |
| Amp blowing fuses Sometimes fuses blow for no apparent reason. Maybe it was just a weak fuse. If you replaced the fuse with the same type and all is now well, I wouldn't worry about it. If it does it again then I would do as Jafox advised. I fail to see the logic i... | |
| Great CDP with No volume control I have an Ayre CX-7 running through a Syrah and it is very nice. Not exactly cheap, but cheaper than the others you listed. | |
| A brzzzzz noise from transformer, is it normal? Toriodal transformers are infamous for buzzing when fed dirty AC. | |
| A brzzzzz noise from transformer, is it normal? There are other reasons a transformer will buzz besides being defective. The mounting bolts may be loose. It may be buzzing because it is getting fed noise on the AC line from a dimmer. The dimmer on the light in my stove hood will cause a power c... | |
| Review: Decware Gizmo, make your Lowthers sing Tweak Gizmo update. I got a new CD player recently, an Ayre CX-7. I took out the gizmos and everything just opened up. I now hear how much they rolled off the top end and constricted dynamics. That was a good thing when I had a Toshiba SD-9200 DVD-A pla... | |

| Best Sinatra...? I prefer his earlier stuff on Capitol, that's what's in the MoFi box set. Some of the later stuff on Reprise is pretty good including "at the Sands," but overall the Reprise is much more uneven than the Capitol. | |
| Ground Loop Humm/Buzz from Television A TV can generate a LOT of electro-magnetic garbage that could be picked up by your other equipment. It may not be easy to do but putting some distance between the TV and the rest of your stuff, at least temporarily, would tell you. Good excuse to... | |
| CD player IC XLR--- RCA You won't get higher output from the CDP with an XLR-RCA adapter than the RCA-RCA. The adapter takes the non-inverting pin of the XLR out and puts it to the center pin of the RCA, which is the same connection made internally in the CDP to the RCA ... | |
| Why does this Biwire set-up not work? What do you mean by "not right?" | |
| Hardwiring? I am confused. How would you do away with separate cables unless you built everything into the speaker cabinet? These systems exist, they are typically called boomboxes, but the few I have listened to had some serious shortcoming. | |
| Jolida 302B low frequency hum It's a ground loop. Type that into the search engine here and you will find a lot of information. | |
| Stands make a huge difference with ProAc Yes, stands are very, very, important in getting the most out of a monitor. I don't think you are going to more bass though. You should get tighter bass with a solid stand and it may seeem like more since it will easier to follow a bass line if it... |
