| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Maybe leave out foam from Beth woofers?Do you have an REW sweep of the room? | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @holmz,what I do in the car is either stream from my server using Plex, or I use the Qobuz app on my iPhone. No need for CD's!Yeah, but that assume one is not in the middle of nowhere, with no phone towers within hours.I mean, I understand when y... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening Maybe you’re right. But there would have to be a reason why the sounded better.It could also be the Fletcher Munson is getting somewhat adjusted with speaker that has more low and high end than the other set?It would be interesting to see REW curv... | |
| 2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C) A good L/C/R is nothing like a sound bar to me. They are separated for a reason. There are so many compromises in even the most expensive bars, that you just can't get great sound out of them in a comparison. JMHO, but I'm sure you all understa... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? @atmasphere Running zero feedback is a nice way to insure stability. What is the output impedance of your amp?I was talking to a fellow yesterday that said that the feedback of the Prima Luna was too high.Do you have thoughts on that? | |
| Crossover issue. @erik_squires I did not mean a microphone, I mean to just test the XOs with just a signal and probably some power resistors where the speakers go.Your idea of the DATS does the speakers, so it is conceptually the same type of thing, just I am aimi... | |
| Crossover issue. Yeah @erik_squires and a less elegant (kindergarten approach) is just to swap left parts between and right…If one had a scope they could drive both LHS and RHS XOs and plot them against each other.But you’ve also reminding me that I need to find m... | |
| System building; a meditation But the physical speaker itself is also imprinting on the effect of the room. You being in the room is another factor. This is what I mean by (sonic) 'fingerprint'. I am picturing “a disturbance in the force”. | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell Ok @chakster so I think you ‘re saying they the p77i will found just as good as the Hana ML?And cheaper to run over time? | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening having subs in the mix will lessen the load on the amp and allow lesser sensitivityHow big of a concern is the load on the amp, when the SPL is in the 60s of decibels? | |
| A turntable that plays all types of music well So which fuses are best for different music genres?For the tantric chants, a 1A slo blow. ;)Also Barry White, Otis, and Marvyn, etc. | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell The P77i is listed as MM with an output of 4.0mV. Garrott Brothers P77i CartridgeMoving Magnet (MM) Phono CartridgeOutput Voltage: High output type 4mV @ 3.54cm/secInput Impedance: 47kSo the p77i appears that is HO and MM.And the Hana ML is LO and... | |
| Crossover issue. The @erik_squires post mentioned…If it were me I would take out a DATS V2 from Dayton Audio and use it to compare the impedance curves of the drivers and the crossovers to diagnose. Assuming that they came out good (the same) then that would exone... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I just don’t see any reason to go back to CD’s when Roon and streaming are so good.^That^ works with an internet connection, but in a vehicle it is easier to have bought the CD and either play it, or play it via an iPad/iPhone. | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell @chakster Thanks. What is your experience with required gain?That Audio Research PH2 is the SS model, and its manual says gain=48dB.That phono stage shows posts for resister loading, but a flashlight through the holey metal does not reveal them.It... |
