| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? I hear a voice saying "Paul is dead." | |
| Japanese Audio robertrs,A friend of mine thought about Onken cabinets for his Great Plains 604 drivers, but, the Hiraga design and others recommended for this driver are enormous and extremely heavy; he went for a more conventional bass reflex cabinet. I person... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I've heard many different speaker types, and many different systems employing ful-lrange drivers, many of which I really liked, but, I would hardly say that such drivers beat out all others. I've heard many single driver fullrange systems, as wel... | |
| Japanese Audio bjesien,Speakers that are locally sourced (USA), small, and efficient is a tall order. By far, the best I've heard in that category are Charney Audio speakers. The "Companion " models I heard (with AER or Voxativ drivers) were among the best spe... | |
| Japanese Audio I suspect that serious Japanese audiophiles like high efficiency speakers, including giant horn systems, because they sound much more lively at low volume levels than other types of speakers. This is important in apartments with thin walls and in... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Speakermaster,The t 35 is a nice tweeter. A local builder finds those and uses them in current project. Another vintage tweeter that he uses is the Jensen RP302. I particularly liked an open baffle system he built with a Jensen M10 fieldcoil ful... | |
| Raven celeste competitors/alternatives Labguy,I would suggest trying the amp with your current speakers. I am not familiar with the Raven line of gear, nor am I familiar with your particular speakers. But, I generally find that most people grossly overestimate the amount of power the... | |
| Compression Horns for Far field listening The exotic dealer in my area, Deja Vu Audio, makes custom designed systems, including systems built around full range drivers. Quite often, the full range driver is utilized full range (i.e., no low-pass crossover network feeding the driver) with... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? I never heard the Boressen; now I am interested in hearing something with that tweeter.Another tweeter that I've heard in a terrific sounding system is the Murata supertweeter. | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? The tweeter that impressed me the most was one that seemed to not be there at all--it was so smooth and unobtrusive and high frequencies were present without calling attention to their presence. The tweeter is a G.I.P Laboratories reproduction of... | |
| Compression Titanium Worlds finest tweet ever engineered I like most planar magnetic speakers too. Many, such as Magnepans, are quite reasonably priced for the sound they deliver. Other types of speakers have examples that I like too. But, all speakers have limitations so it is a matter of different ... | |
| Compression Titanium Worlds finest tweet ever engineered I've heard many fine examples of compression tweeters and midrange drivers, some of which employ titanium diaphragms (my speaker came with a modern titanium diaphragm compression midrange driver with alnico magnets, but, I switched that driver out... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Sandstone,I agree that Harry Partch is extraordinarily underappreciated. I love his "Delusions of the Fury." | |
| Can you get proper imaging if speakers are not the same distance from center? It may sound good, but, you never know if it could sound better unless you experiment with placement. It would be incredible luck if you just happen to find the ideal spot without extensive trial and error. Even if you are not perfectly centered... | |
| New Arm or New TT and arm? The basic HW 19 table is a very well made, high performance platform. If it has been maintained properly (meaning nothing more than not abused), it should be fine for use with any of the top tonearms out on the market. I agree with millercarbon ... |
