| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To It was a game time decision, but I started the session off this afternoon with Patricia Barber/Nightclub (red book). I bought that one back in the '90s shortly after I bought Cafe Blue (even though, at the time, I wasn't grabbed by Cafe Blue). ... | |
| speakers and cables Update: I implemented the @carlsbad2 method and it works nicely Which is picture #2 of the pictures you posted, correct? Are you still going to try out a pair of "Y" splitters from Amazon just to see if you like RCAs to subs better? For what ... | |
| speakers and cables I think I have a compromised system I am also a member of that club. it’s a glass with dirt on it, an extra layer of dirt won’t make a huge difference That is absolutely one way to look at it. Of course, the other way to look at it is. . . ... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I also thought of this. I know it’s lame but fairly cheap and maybe by Christmas I can budget for it; it could be nice visuals and a speaker "multiplier". If it could handle it. Douk Audio VU3 Dual Analog VU Meter, 2-Way Amplifier/Sp... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To I had always seen “Shoot Out The Lights” on many greatest albums lists. Got it a couple of years ago at Goodwill for a buck, but I don’t think I’ve given it a proper listen. I’ll do that very soon. AND Shoot Out The Lights is a great sounding ... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To Back in the early or mid '90s I heard a Richard Thompson song on the public radio station I used to listen to, so i went to the CD store and bought Richard And Linda Thompson/Shoot Out The Lights (1982, I think). I remember listening to it a few ... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I have the same feeling about Y splitters, not very audiophile-ish. But - also cheaper than a box. I have not tried "serializing" subs and speakers. I want the signal to go from my amp directly to the speakers to somehow justify my s... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Old Proverb: The Road To Hell is paved with transformational pieces of gear. | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj thanks for the clarification. It wasn't your fault, I am easily confused. Your explanations are always very thorough. I am looking up Y splitters now on Amazon. @grislybutter , I've actually used 'Y' splitters for something I was d... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I am sufficiently confused as I try to visualize it with my limited options but at least I am positive you know how it works on your end. My setup - if my Outlaw had worked I think it would be Sorry, @grislybutter , for the confusio... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. From what little I know about speaker specifications, and this is what I have learned here, 83.5 is a very low sensitivity and on paper would suggest a hard load to drive(?) but on the other hand an impedance that only dips to 5.6 ohms is extremel... | |
| Revelation audio labs Note to self: do not buy anything from Revelation Audio Labs. | |
| speakers and cables Griz, I am intrigued by those Polks. My M&K is ancient . . . it was the piece of gear that started me down this road to hell. I think that was near the end of ’93, either that or very early in ’94. M&K (apparently at least at that time) d... | |
| speakers and cables Few bucks of fuses are not the end of the World. Hopefully you have not been using fuses that are orange, purple, or blue? | |
| speakers and cables Grizzly, let me add two more things: what I described in my last post was a diagram showing how to use only ONE sub. However, I truly do not think that it would change if you were using two subs, except that you would not use both left and right... |
