| What has blown my tweeter???? There was a DIY post recently about building your own speakers. I would search for that and then track down all who expressed an interest. One of them has your tweeter! It's very obvious. Trust me on this. | |
| Transparent Reference XL or Nordost Valhalla Mikelavigne offers wise advice. I would take his last statement one step further and say that synergy is important at any level. There is absolutely no way to predict which cable will sound better to you in your system. You will have to try them. | |
| Choral music suggestions I have a CD on Teldec of Brahms Secular Choruses, "Lieder und Romanzen" 4509-92058-2. The first time I played it my wife was in another other room and she told me it sounded like angels singing. I have numerous recordings on the Teldec label and t... | |
| Using a hidden reserve price in auctions. I agree with Garfish. Also, I think the idea with the low opening and higher reserve is to entice bargain hunters into bidding at a low price, hoping they will get into a bidding frenzy and meet your reserve. As a buyer I don't like them because s... | |
| Single Driver Speakers??? Lowther, Moth Audio?? Their is a sense of cohesiveness from single drivers that cannot be achieved with multiple drivers. However, I don't think you will be happy with 5 watts into a 90dB speaker. It will play but you will quickly run out of power. You need to get clos... | |
| How many levels are there? There are 17 levels. Trust me on this one. | |
| Replacing TT with CD What is a WTT&A? It's probably obvious but I can't figure it out. | |
| Gain matching of power amps Edesilva, you are correct. Gain in dB is additive so your math is correct. You are also correct about amplifiers being nonlinear. However, a well designed amplifier will keep this non linearity to a small fraction of a dB and shouldn't be of concern. | |
| Gain matching of power amps I've said it before, that Sean seems like a very reasonable and wise person. | |
| Bass Response and concrete floors And now for something completely different. In the brochure "31 Secrets to Better Sound" from Anantgarde USA, it says the opposite. They recommend installing a wooden floor over concrete. He describes concrete as "colder less involving sound" vs. ... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Hi tweekerman. Have you heard a Lowther driver or it's equivalent? From your statement "never heard a midrange cone that produced high fidelity sound" I would have to venture a guess that you have not, or that you've heard them in highly colored b... | |
| Gain matching of power amps Matching the gain is very important. It's true you can't control it unless the amp has a volume control. It is function of the amplifier design. But different gains will result in different powers being delivered to different drivers with the same... | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? I got that price from the US distributor. I sent the cartridge to him and he forwarded it to Wilson Benesch. The way I understand it, they also rebuild by replacing the suspension. According to the distributor, putting a new tip on an old catridge... | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? I just sent my Wilson Benesch Analog cartridge back to WB to be retipped/rebuilt for $300. I haven't gotten it back yet so I can't be sure of the results. But the price is very reasonable. | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? My dog got frisky one night and decided to run in circles around the room. On one lap, her leg snagged the power cord to my turntable and pulled it off the shelf causing considerable damage to the table, arm, cartridge, and ruined the record.The a... |
