| Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing? I agree with the Almarg....Depending on how "desperate" you are I see four possibilities.1) Try Rrog's ideal of changing your room. (Probably the hardest to do if a relationship is involved).2) Add a preamp with balance control. (Probably the hard... | |
| Dolby HX PRO Dicrete Circuit. MPX, which means multiplex. In this case the stereo carrier freq used on analog FM broadcasts.If memory serves it is at 19 kHz and has to be removed to keep the bias correct. | |
| Any inexpensive ways to check acoustic response For a moderately priced unit check out Parts Express, Radio Shack or Fry's. Search either spl meter or sound meter.... It is tedious to do it this way as you have to transpose your readings off of an A or C weighting. If you can spend a little mor... | |
| Any inexpensive ways to check acoustic response Yep, HH meter and test disc although some of the meters do not respond well above 10k. Check the manual and if so you will have to adjust your readings. Also be care full how you hold the meter. If to close to your midriff you will exaggerate some... | |
| How to setup a home theater system Your Bottom Line statement "If you can't enjoy music coming out of your I phones speakers, you can't enjoy them on high fidelity state of the art equipment either" is a laughably absurd statement. It's akin to saying if you can't enjoy the movie b... | |
| Anybody biamp Allison 4s? Springbok10, The only reason I suggested that he test the Allison's in such a manner is that in a different forum another poster had suggested that some speakers have multiple sets of binding posts but that the crossovers inside were not necessari... | |
| Anybody biamp Allison 4s? Hopefully you will get your answer from an Allison owner. If not I've seen your post in the other forum and I believe the rub is that some speakers may have extra binding posts but that the internal high/low x-overs are not actually independent. I... | |
| Interconnects Signal Path I say you never know what makes a differnce so give it a try. Even after reading all of the suggested threads I am sticking with my understanding that music is an A/C signalwhich is a push than pull (both charge and current) event. I base the stat... | |
| Interconnects Signal Path I did not say that was the only reason. Just that, IME, it was usually an indication as to which side the separate shield wire was grounded to.In my designs I have stayed away from a separate shield or drain.Lastly I'd not be at all surprised if i... | |
| INFINITY RS 2B CROSSOVER PROBLEM ?? Check whatever caps and resistors that are in series to those drivers. | |
| Interconnects Signal Path There is not a direction to the sound as music is more of a push pull kind of thing.The arrows usually indicate what side the independent shield is grounded to. The reasoning is that the shields should all end up at the same ground which in most c... | |
| What reviews do you trust if any? I ony trust reviewers who make reference to well accepted equipment that is already in the market. In that way, if I also have experience with the same equipment, I will often find out if they and I have been hearing the same things, have the same... | |
| It's raining cats and dogs Maybe you can loan them out to some of the people I run into who absoultely swear that there is no difference in sound between......(insert your favorite controversy here). | |
| Balanced cables and passive amplifiers The quality of a balanced cable is just as important as unbalanced. | |
| Simple Biamp question Have not tried it but either approach is valid. What I have heard over the years is that if you go "vertical" as in one stereo amp feeds the left speaker and the other the right channel you will get the benefits that are obtained by mono blocks wh... |
