| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions If your sub doesn't make your system sound glorious you are just gilding lilies. @erik_squires , there have been sessions with certain source materials that I honestly did feel my system sounded glorious, but I would also add that it was not be... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions @grislybutter , actually, I think your first post about changing things all the time to find "happiness" was a serious concept. As far as the trade off going on with the highpass installed, I don’t think it’s worth it. What I think is that I need ... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions @erik_squires , yes! My M&K sub and M&K high pass do, in fact, date back to the days of Dolby Prologic! (They are both ancient and obsolete.) I remember that back then the conventional wisdom seemed to dictate that if one wanted to use a s... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions @grislybutter , I believe you are on to something with that. @mitch2 , the high pass filter probably isn't all that good, and the subwoofer is ancient and probably obsolete. Low bass is probably the weak link in my chain at this point in my life... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions @gdaddy1 , that's basically the route I went. The high pass made my system more dynamic with my first preamp and a lower powered entry level tube amp, but as I moved up in equipment I remember a dealer referring to using a high pass as "putting a... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions If you can run Balanced out to the poweramp and RCAs to the Sub simultaneously, why not try going back to balanced between the pre and power amp whilst continuing to use the M&K high pass. @theophile , to put the high pass in between the pr... | |
| Burmester 218..... LOL! You gotta love it! | |
| 2-way design vs. 3-way design means ? Bring Other Sound Equipment. | |
| Burmester 218..... thecarpathian, that's what happens when you're in a good union, I was making $25 an hour back in 2000, and my last year before retirement I was making $35 an hour in 2021. Ah, I see. That explains it. The most you can afford is the Sims gear... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode I was commenting more in the fact that the manual was either poorly written or misleading. @atmasphere , that could be; this subject is over my head so I will not offer an opinion.. As far as the UL design, Mr. Had does state at least a couple... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @atmasphere , I am not arguing with what anyone is saying; I have stated before that I am illiterate on these subjects. I was simply directly quoting from the owners manual that came with my amp when I bought it. Although he didn't write it that... | |
| Burmester 218..... If zuesman really did compare them, then he can’t help it he has bad hearing. All of the Sim dealers whom I spoke to when I was up in Canada last week did tell me that the Sim gear is mostly popular with the audiophile crowd that is suffering f... | |
| Burmester 218..... The burmaster only has 165 watts lol The Sim 861 has 300 watts, Well, you know what they (the Sim dealers) are all saying, "One Burmester watt is worth at least ten Sim watts." | |
| Burmester 218..... After I visited those Sim dealers up in The Great White North and did the A/B comparisons, they (the Sim dealers) were saying, "Give me Burmester or give me death!" I expect to see a lot of Sim gear going out of a lot of dealer's doors at bargain... | |
| Tinnitus There are some drugs (I am thinking about legal ones) that are known to have the potential side effect of causing tinnitus. Aspirin is near or on the top of the list. I attribute my own tinnitus to taking a lot of aspirin when I was younger, and a... |
