| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Atmosphere, come to think of it, I may have been wrong to include the Marigo dots, but, no, the WA Quantum chips and the Intelligent chip are 2 different things (but, as I said above, there are certainly quantum scams to be found out there). From ... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Atmasphere: Ok, I think you're right about my poor word choice. Let me see if I can fix that. I don't think Alan is really in the business of 'manipulating' Ohm's Law (and let me say that no one would think that it's somehow mutable less than I...... | |
| Buying speakers ten or more years old a good idea? I have been using the same pair of dynamic-driver, tower speakers ever since I bought them new in 1990. There have been at least 3 considerations I've needed to deal with over the years. 1) All the drivers have rubber surrounds, but it's still bee... | |
| Floorstanders or stand-mounted with a sub? I have 3-way towers that have twin 8" woofers in each cab that are rated 3db down at 30hz. I also have a modified Behringer DEQ2496 as my DAC which gives me parametric EQ. Lots of power conditioning in my setup has increased its bandwidth on top o... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Agear and Atmosphere: Here's how I see it: I'm absolutely convinced there is, and has been, such a thing as bad grounding schemes in perhaps all manner of hifi gear up to now...happens all the time. But, I don't believe for a moment that alone can... | |
| Maple Platform Question If it were me, I'd follow Mapleshade's recommendations. I'd also try removing the cups from the VPI cones and let the points have contact on the platform. Of course as you know, that's really what the platform is for - to act as a "sink" for the v... | |
| Volume and Dynamics It's not a question I think I understand what you're getting at. In a way it's all about proper scale...being true to the original recording I mean. When all the spatial cues (volume, dynamic, harmonic, phase, tone, timing, etc) with the playback system can be made t... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Davehrab: "... as a matter of fact in high school I was so poor in math that I thought that Calculus was Julius Caesar's hair dresser"....wait...you mean he wasn't?!? :)Jfrech: No sweat. Do give us an update at some point, I'm curious too. The 2 M... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Davehrab: good post. Glad to see someone with more ee experience chiming in. All extremely interesting and useful. | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Jfrech: I think Spirit is basically right, but what I'm seeing that the difference amounts to is the distinction between the traditional "power conditioning" we're so far familiar with and this emerging new field of "electronic noise reduction" - ... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Tboooe: from the looks of it the Entreq unit may remain a bit of a mystery for the time being since any English-language description of it I've seen is so hopelessly mangled from the translation from Swiss. I have no experience with it (and don't ... | |
| 13yr old speaker upgrade I'll echo what Tls49 said, but do you suspect the crossover b/c you're not getting any sound output from the speaker at all? If that's the case, I'd first check to see if your speakers have any fuses (possibly a dirt simple fix)...or, if it really... | |
| Is it just me? Tony, didn't mean to suggest that my post was the only possible interpretation of the OP. But, I know exactly the kind of experiences you relate to. In fact I think we all do...enough so that I imagined Mlman probably understood that as well and, ... | |
| Is it just me? All of the above, plus maybe the day-to-day voltage swings from your incoming power to your dwelling. See about getting a plug-in voltage meter (not very expensive I think) and examine readings the next several times to see if there's any variatio... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki, hmmm. Thanks for your comments. Will see if I can keep a more open mind on the topic in the future... |
