| How close to the real thing? Lrsky,I know what you are talking about some speakers having treble glare or bright system characteristics.I won't have that in my system.I know what instruments sound like.I have musicians in my family.The conductor in an orchestra gets one of th... | |
| Why is my Velodyne DD-18 "blowing up? " The after one hour of listening is one thing that has me concerned.Otherwise,I think lowering the level some may solve it,and help stop possibility of damage to the woofer.Changing the EQ settings also,possibly less of the lowest frequency level l... | |
| Why is my Velodyne DD-18 "blowing up? " If the sound is a short crack,like striking some metallic, or other material with a hammer,It could be the woofer bottoming out.What I'm saying is,the voice coil former (where the voice wire is wound),might be hitting metal against metal.If this i... | |
| What Chores do Audiophiles Hate? Anything I have to do.Not what I want to do. | |
| Subwoofer to go with Wilson Maxx II's Oppo BDP-83& BDP-93 low limit is 20hz.So these won't work with analog out for movies.I no they're not hi-end though. | |
| Subwoofer to go with Wilson Maxx II's Make sure the sources your going to use go down below 20hz.CD players in the 80's used to say they went down to 5hz,but some newer high end CD's and DAC's only go to 20hz. | |

| How to shop for speakers? Thanks everyone.The figures are at least good enough some of the time,but not exact since they are always changing,plus other factors. | |
| How to test used / ex-demo speakers? I've bought plenty of demo amps,and speakers.Never had a problem,and always received the full warranty written on the receipt too.No active ones though.I don't see why there should be anything different to look for as far as a problem.Hum at low l... | |
| How to shop for speakers? Thanks Almarg and Timlub.Some odd things do happen sometimes.In the 80s I believe,a dealer friend tried two pairs of Rogers 15 ohm speakers on a tube amp,and it resulted in a volume drop that was enough to stop him from ordering a second pair for ... | |
| How to shop for speakers? Yes, good point.I don't know about the figure given by the prior post,but nobody ever seems to mention this for a tube amp.Its common to see the double the wattage for a solid state amp.I tell my friends to try to shop for 8 ohm speakers for use w... | |
| 78 rpm speed for Thorens? You could check to see if you can get a 78 rpm stylus for a cartridge you may already have. | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes Maybe I'm thinking of one of the reel to reels I had.Could be one of those senior moments. | |
| Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes If its the 3 head,maybe the monitor/record button?I can't seem to find a manual.I think most 3 heads let you do this on the fly while recording.I think it did it through the speakers also,I don't remember whether the headphone would let you monito... | |
| can bipolar surround speaker on backwall with 5.1 I don't think they will make most video people happy that way.If they were more like the S5,you might be able to pull it off.If you are right against the back wall,then it may get by.If the wall is extremely wide,it may get you in the field, but I... |
