| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @whistleraudio aka @holmz : I already made the " food " but you want that I " eat it " for you., no way. You need to make your job. I asked about compliance as a function of loading. You provided frequency response as a function of loading... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Speaker testing often shows thermal compression at 86, 96 and 102 dB. So if one is listening at 80-85 dB, and there is little or no thermal compression at 102dB, then that is ~20dB of dynamic range. Hence it is something that, IMO, is worth consi... | |
| Touch up paint for Preamplifier ? Take the existing cover to any paint store and they can computer match the color. Or open the paint chip book there. | |
| I am so happy..... Well done @cakyol | |
| Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup? How does it sound? | |
| Dipole speakers, subwoofers and that rear wall I can imagine perfecting positioning for one frequency and its modes, but not for 20-20,000 hz full spectrum. Try imagining more like 20 to 200 Hz (or 500Hz). Or is the midrange a dipole too? The rear wave does have further to go, so it will l... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? It’s also part of the sound of interconnects. Not likely. This sounds like a #metoo post where interconnects are suffering compression like speakers. And it reads more like an advert for something not on topic nor germane to speaker compress... | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? Let’s stick with Monitor Audio like the OP has. It is a different model, but I see: Cabinet resonances The step function is upside down The impulse response is a bit ratty at the onset. high distortion at 96dB, which is likely speaker compre... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size But it makes me wonder if I should have included some Tungsten to my DIY box(es) ozzy If you listen to heavy metal, then… yes... It would likely help. | |
| Vandersteen 7 and room treatment Personally I would start with all the panels in place, as you already know the room. Then remove panels one by one. Measurements with REW might be able to show a time domain comb, and keeping the early reflections low is usually better for imagin... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Thanks @mijostyn I’ll start looking. | |
| Vandersteen 7 and room treatment Better than the speakers in a treated room looking out of ABQ, would be in front of a window in the more alpines or north NM… 😎 I’m tempted to clear the room of all the treatment and see what kind of sound I can get just by tuning the speaker... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? @holmz , it is always good to be happy with the results. I certainly hate it when I am not. Not theory holmz but fact by design. As for effects on sound quality this is always hard to quantify. Whenever we buy new equipment it is unlikely that... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @noromance : " While mechanical impact does occur as a result of electrical load- there is some back emf necessarily generated by the signal current that affects the mechanical motion, but a quick back of the envelope calculation using Lenz’s l... | |
| Vandersteen 7 and room treatment I have pair in woodshop 10 ft ceiling. Have drill press and radial saw behind lathe on left side. Right side have lumber rack. Sound very nice. Fly the richard out. Yeah… we would need to fly him as he ain’t Irish, and it is likely 2x 500 mi... |
