| Crossovers Indeed, it depends...on LOTS of things. BUT...I believe you should not obsess about crossover networks or even make the simplicity/complexity of the crossover a 2nd or 3rd priority. LISTEN to them and go for the best-sounding speaker system you ca... | |
| Best hi res recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Ever read High Fidelity Review? Here http://www.highfidelityreview.com/reviews/review.asp?reviewnumber=17202764 is a review of Mutter's.. | |
| Best Source for Replacement/Upgrade Tubes?? I 2nd the good results from The Tube Depot. I've purchased 6550s, KT90s, 6FQ7s, and 5751s from them. Always low prices, great service, a low shipping charges (US$4). Oh yea...great products too. :-). | |
| B&W Nuatilus Was a new-product announcement made? There's still (Thurs. nite in the US) nothing on the UK site. . | |
| Can any one braid 8 & 16 conductor speaker cables See the Audioquest site to see how they wind their multiple-conductor cable.. | |
| Non inverting polarity? "Jeffreybehr...I just found out that all JBL loudspeaker drivers have polarity opposite to other brands. A positive voltage applied to the + terminal causes the cone to pull in (not push out). So, if you think absolute polarity matters, and you ha... | |
| Non inverting polarity? A signal with a (half-cycle) pulse of positive (or 'noninverted') polarity creates a positive push of a speaker cone--TOWARDS you, the listener. A negative- (or 'inverted-')polarity signal will cause the speaker cone to pull away from you.I don't ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Irv, EVERY change in equipment creates a change in the resulting sound, whether YOU can hear it. For instance, decades ago I laughed when my 'golden-eared' buddy talked about elevating speakercables from the carpet. Later in a single-blind test, m... | |
| Switching polarity of tweeter in two-way design "For real-world listening, polarity of the tweeter does not seem to make a lot of difference. Best idea is to try it both ways."I don't disagree with that, but understand the effect of reversing the tweeter leads from their original backwards orie... | |
| Switching polarity of tweeter in two-way design The tweeter is wired 'backwards' not to time-align anything but to 'offset' the response spike that occurs in most 2-ways if the tweeter is not reverse-wired. I don't pretend to understand it, but the result is to NONtime-align the system.. | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? As someone already said, ANOTHER one of these 'I can't hear it so it doesn't exist' guys. I personally cannot hear lots of differences others can hear. That doesn't mean those differences don't exist. I believe it's the height of egotistical arrog... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Well, I will be going back again to listen more with a friend. They never sounded harsh or strident to me, but they also didn't sound better in the treble than my modified Kindel PLS-As...but the trebles are my worst range of sound to hear well. O... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me After reading so many different positive comments on the Ref. 3s, I had to hear them myself and did today at a local dealer. Driven with all Audio Research gear and of course w/o any bass amp, they sounded very nice but not much different than my ... | |
| Anthony Gallo Ref 3 - Bass Solutions with Tube Amp Just had a thought...maybe the 'fuzziness' or 'lumpiness' (or whatever TAS's reviewer called it) in the Ref. III's sound with the bass amp used is caused by the inherent phase errors of its low-pass filters.Another thought...depending on its bass-... | |
| Anthony Gallo Ref 3 - Bass Solutions with Tube Amp Jackd, certainly it would--I guess 'most any stereo amp would work--but you still need a low-pass filter including gain controls. How 'bout an old Dalquist DQ-LP1? It had variable lo-pass filter points, gain controls, and a bass-boost control. Lo-... |
