| Sub placement Hello,I have posted about the CR1 before. It really can help with several of these problems that occur when blending a sub. I haven’t even used the JL Audio room correction because the CR1 works so well. Maybe I didn’t need the F series. I could h... | |
| Speaker magnets Hello,This is very interesting. I like to learn new things. When I was sixteen. I designed my own speaker and enclosure from Radio Shack and the lumber store. Stupid me I forgot to create a crossover. Also, it was not cheap to do at the time. I sh... | |
| Sub placement Hello,I have two of my subs as Mijostyn suggested but put 1/3 to a half behind each of the front speakers. Another friend who has the JL Audio F212 did the same thing. I have two F110 subs. I know it is expensive but the JL Audio CR1 crossover is ... | |
| Speaker Road Trip Hello,There is a store in Woodridge, Illinois called Holm Audio. They are a Dali dealer. They even have the Rubicon 6 blacks to listen to. All of them are fully broken in. I will tell you if you are looking for a speaker to play Rush it is definit... | |
| Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3 Hello,Thanks riaa,How do you know what my portfolio is worth. I too was able to retire at 45 but was asked by my best friend who owns a trucking company to help him run it. Just because I work does not mean I have too. You are so wrong to assume I... | |
| I don't have sibilance problems, are my speakers dull? Hello,I get it when listening to Diana Krall. As long as it doesn’t hurt my ears it doesn’t bother me. It may be a preamp issue. You could try changing you power cable on your preamps to a thicker gauge. It really makes a difference. The Puritan C... | |
| Mix and match subs? Hello,I have blended two totally different subs together with great success. This was talked about not to long ago. In fact you may want a sub that can reach down a little further. I am now running to JL Audio F110s with the JL Audio CR1 crossover... | |
| Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3 Hello riaa,What I was saying is he did not keep the Luxman gear. If he did what you wrote and bought it four times, that is literally the definition of insanity. Seriously, look it up. Also, He was using the top of the line products from Ayre. Ac... | |
| My battle with sibilance. Hello,It sounds like you need to cover your tweeter. No, What MC said. Before going to drastic changes to the VTA make sure it is the norm when playing all vinyl. If not, and it isn’t even the majority of your collection I would let it be unless y... | |
| And My Budget Is... Hello, I hate having buyers remorse. I am always doing a lot of research on things. Sometimes even years which can be interesting when the models change. Over 20 years ago I bought my second set of audiophile speakers. The Soliloquy 5.3 in curly m... | |
| Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3 Hello,If these are the only two companies your looking at that is ok. For $10k Ayre sells the KX-5 preamp. Instead of an attenuated volume on the inputs like these companies do it has a variable gain stage on the back end. You have a total lossles... | |
| Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used Hello,I am thinking the Tekton SET. I think they have an upgraded crossover package according to a forum friend. I was thinking this was a great match for Decware. You can call Tekton to get the details. I hope this helped. | |
| I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond! Hello,I have heard a significant difference by adding a LPS. The SBooster is really good. If it doesn’t make a difference then why would Pass put its power supplies in separate chassis. SPS are there for profit or at the minimum to keep costs down... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Hello,This is ridiculous, so vague! Maybe I am part of the problem for responding. As we talked about before there are some newcomers and new people to AGon or being an audiophile who read this. Then they believe that a basic headphone sounds the ... | |
| Power cord choice? Hello,My recommendation would be a Puritan PSM156 power conditioner. $2300 sound like a lot. If I had a $500 system today I would buy this power conditioner knowing what I know. It is that good. I would like to know which piece of equipment you ar... |
