| Best way to decrease the internal volume of a sealed speaker? For experimental purposes (trying to find the correct internal volume reduction for a given sound) you could cut off various lengths of appropriate sized blocks of wood. Easy to do and to dial in to your preferred sound. Once the amount of volume ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @phusis Thanks for your comments and I definitely agree: the interest in horn material damping somehow appears MIA, yet too many manufacturers seem to be acting almost as if they are better off letting such sleeping dogs lie, rather than stepping ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? But....I suppose makers of box designs may *claim* that they’ve gotten rid of their cabinet resonances by their sheer prowess in wood construction and so forth....only in fact to rely on a lot of help from their crossover design in the final resul... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? One thing I do not particularly like (not that I hate it, but I find it swaying me not to buy) about most modern horn speakers is that the horns are so often made of some kind of plastic but that there is generally no attempt by the manufacturer w... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @inna The above is only my own personal take. Why not a $5k USB cable? Hey, if anyone is inclined, I'd say go for it...but for me, considering where I happen to be with it all at the moment, it's just a question of having different priorities, I g... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @aberyclark Good point. I have a MoFi CD edition of Billy Joel's Turnstiles (1976) and a BluSpec CD edition of the same exact album. The BluSpec one happens to sound great across the board, no issues at all. The MoFi by comparison happens to sound... | |
| Room acoustics (It seems I had nothing else worthwhile to do today, so I decided to submit this novel I had originally written for publication. I haven’t proof read it yet, it’s just too damn long for me. ;>)I can understand why no one here might fully have r... | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... Glad it was of help. That's true what you say about regenerators. I don't use one. I've never been aware of any amp designers that seem to be following the issue that closely (or perhaps many even at all, really). I did have really good luck with ... | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... Don’t want to hijack the thread or anything, but this may help also with the edification angle a bit. I apologize in advance for the stoopidly long post.There are generally two different possible reasons for voltage instability: one originating fr... | |
| On/Off Switch "Note. The power switch is a snap switch and should always be manually closed and opened in quick follow through movement. Especially on power amps. This will help in preventing of arcing when the switch is being opened. Arcing can/will cause pi... | |
| On/Off Switch I did neglect to address your other Q’s in your OP, but I’d say that your original instincts are correct about that if all the other AC ancillaries (power cords, fuses, power supplies, IEC inlets, duplexes, etc) are fair game for ’getting it right... | |
| On/Off Switch Congrats to Astros fans. Finally a world series win!! | |
| On/Off Switch nenon, Reading from your subsequent posts, I think maybe I've been going about this all wrong. Since you're building your own amp And you need the switch installed at the rear panel before the fuse and power supply, then that may change our game e... | |
| On/Off Switch LED indicator lights have also been found to slightly pollute the sound as well. | |
| On/Off Switch All this shows nothing more than the futility of cheap power switches. In gear that can be left on all time, you might consider removing the switch, and its associated wiring leads, altogether and use slightly better wiring in the bypass. Many DIY... |
