| speakers and cables Ok so this would only work with the Y splitter - in the preamp - amp scenario? Envision it this way: high pass filter INSTEAD of ’Y’ splitters. FROM the preamp L & R RCA outs TO the high pass L & R RCA ins FROM the high pass there wi... | |
| speakers and cables Ok so this would only work with the Y splitter - in the preamp - amp scenario? As emphatically as possible: NO!! (Give me a couple of minutes; I'll come back to this.) | |
| speakers and cables almost there. Very dumb question (you are used it to by now) does the high pass filter go between amp and main speakers? Or between preamp and amp? OOPS for the 3rd time. I didn’t see this. Not a dumb question. The high pass filter goes in bet... | |
| speakers and cables OOPS again! I think maybe @mswale was talking about replacing the existing low pass filter that is already in your sub? To one that can be adjusted lower than 80 hZ to better match up with the low frequencies of your mains ? (I’ll stay out of it n... | |
| speakers and cables @grislybutter: I won’t try to speak for @mswale, but a HIGH PASS filter is what I thought he meant, and I certainly screwed up (OOPS!) when I posted above by referring to a HP filter a a LP filter. I edited my post. You already have an adjustable... | |
| speakers and cables I don’t mind adding a low pass filter and reconnecting my subs. A high pass filter would actually simplify your subwoofer connection. Speakers would be. You’d need one extra pair of RCA interconnects to go from your preamp into your high pass a... | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid @charliehorse, as I mentioned previously, preamp tubes (and those are 6SN7s in the SLP98) do not get roasting hot like amp output tubes do, but I’d still like to give them some breathing room up top. I just did a quick search on the internet and i... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj Frequency response ( 3dB): 40Hz 23kHz my subs’ dial start at 80Hz so I can’t go below that. Hmmm . . . if I am understanding the last sentence correctly, your sub is going from at least as high as 80 hZ and down? And that means ... | |
| speakers and cables I was asking about how low your L and R main speakers theoretically go. | |
| speakers and cables @grisly, what are the specs on your mains? Or did you already say how low do they theoretically go, and I missed it? | |
| Absorption behind components and speakers rationale? It appears as if those Bubos acoustical panels from Amazon are only 0.4 " thick. | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid @immatthewj - I seem to have a gut feeling that Cary would be a great option for me. The SLP 98L gets a lot of good reviews and one is available for $2,000. I'm not sure that I would like the exposed tubes. I just read something from a old Aud... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? every once in awhile I try and re-live my 90's rave days I missed out on all of that. Was that where everybody got loaded up on MDMA and danced and partied all night? Sounds like fun. | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. When I listen to Willie on my system, it sounds like Willie, and sounds better than any of his live shows that I’ve attended, although you lose the excitement of watching him make music. Plus 1, @kerrybh. I’d say the same thing, except I have n... | |
| speakers and cables @griz, I didn't find your diagram to be fuzzy. On to finding a new power amp. An integrated might be the way to go at this point--particularly if you could find one with a pair of RCA outs in the preamp section for the subs. |
