| DYI diffuser kits/plans I have also searched for info on this but this is the best I have found. There is enough here to build some but it doesn't give details on how to calculate the upper and lower cutoff frequencies, just some examples. | |
| Best SET Compatible Speakers, $4k-6k used Twl is correct, the Lamhorns would be an excellent choice and can be had new for less than $6K with a choice of drivers. I have DX3 in mine. I would have gone with AER but they are 16 ohm only and my amp is 8. I think they come in 8 ohm now but I'... | |
| SACD - what gives? The answer to your question is very simple. For the most part, they don't exist. To have them means that the recording studios have to convert to machines capable of making these recordings. If you ask the same question about DVD-A recordings you ... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile I've gotten stuck with "The Audiophile Voice" several times. Recently when "Listener" folded, when the "Tracking Angle" folded and it seems like when FI went under.The only redeeming quality is that it takes so little time to go through it that yo... | |
| Any electronics wizards? Tube problem with RM-9 There is a negative DC bias voltage applied to the grids of the tubes. If you lose this voltage the tubes will run wide open and blow the fuses. That is a likely explanation. A cold solder joint in the bias circuits could be the culprit or some pa... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize I found this site about how compact discs work that may shed a little light on the topic. | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise Thanks so far the suggestions. Marakanetz, I have tried another transformer so that eliminates it as the culprit. I built a simple high pass filter to eliminate subsonic frequencies, no help. I am now pretty well convinced that something is wrong ... | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise Thanks for the advice Pbb. It is good to know that somebody is out there beating the "perfect sound forever" gong. I actually have a DVD-A player that I enjoy using to listen to the 10 discs I was interested in buying that I don't already have on ... | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise Thanks TWL, but this is an MC that is designed for a transformer load of < 20 ohms, according to the spec sheet. I have tried 2 different transformers with loads of <10 ohms and one switchable from 40 to 100 ohms. No help.Besides, it is not ... | |
| Any sites that recommend must have music? The Music Angle by Michael Fremer is running but still limited at this time. If you can find back issues of his now defunct "Tracking Angle" magazine it was full of music reviews. The website does have a link to Music Direct that gives you a disco... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize It might be better to ask an ophthalmologist. | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Sean, I am not a laser engineer so I can't give definitive answers but I do have a bit of laser experience as I make my living repairing medical lasers. I do have few thoughts on the subject.Some energy is reflected and some not. That is the way t... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Sorry to hijack this thread with a discussion of physics, but I have done a little research into the subject of light absorption and have found the following. Light will be absorbed by a system when the frequency of the light is in resonance with ... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize HI Buscis, I don't disagree with the results you claim as I have no first hand knowledge, but again it is a matter of terminology. If you shine a pure blue light onto a yellow surface the surface will appear to be black because it does not reflect... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize I may be able to shed a little "light " on this. "I still, to this day, have not been able to figure out why Green is the color of choice although, I have been told that it is simply the values of each of these colors (Red laser light and Green) t... |
