| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David and other owners, Have you had a look inside the box? I saw a photo once that showed it to be a box lined with foam panels. But, the name suggests it is a tapered quarter wave tube loading arrangement which would include a slanted piece o... | |
| TT speed The .11Hz change in pitch is WAY off the mark--that was calculated by looking at the angular difference at its extreme, which are many minutes apart, then calculating what this angular change means in terms of pitch. But, say the recording is of ... | |
| 90% loss of one speaker volume. Blown components from excess current are usually easy to spot visually—they appear burnt or the case swollen. | |
| 90% loss of one speaker volume. Do all of the drivers in that speaker work? Is what you hear distorted or is it just softer? If it is just softer, but otherwise sounds okay, I would guess that you have a problem with the crossover. In any case, the speaker is probably worth r... | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective There is no single, simple answer to these questions. Some new drivers and technologies are quite good, though not necessarily better than all that preceded it,, and a lot of older gear/technology has stood the test of time. My all time favorite... | |
| TT speed lewn, Yes, of course this has nothing to do with pitch. | |
| TT speed I think that what he is saying is that the stylus tracks an arc across the record, which means it is at some point slowly moving forward (retarding, in terms of time), then at the top of the arc, it starts to retreat (speeding up). Both the slowi... | |
| Power Distribution I has at a demonstration at a high end dealership that had an extremely expensive dedicated panel and multiple independent runs into his audition rooms. Even with that kind of setup, power conditioning was helpful. A demonstration by Isotek show... | |
| Vacuum Tube TestingI'm Google search of tube testing service turns up a few companies, including those using an Amplitrex tester (modern, high quality tester that tests under hard driving conditions). I don’t know if any are good, but you can ask here about specific o... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Considering that she co-wrote the song, I don’t know which is the original and which is the cover, but, in any case, I like Marianne Faithfull’s version of “Sister Morphine” more than that of the Rolling Stones’. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David, Why is a discussion of the suitability of the Cube driver for use in OB systems not an appropriate subject for this thread? It appears to be a thread about both the speaker and the driver. While I have my doubts that this driver would b... | |
| What is your favorite cover? WINNER! WINNER! berner99, your "Total Eclipse of the Heart" video is fantastic. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure It is not just the large front baffle and space requirement that works against OB, they do not go as deep bass-wise because of the lack of reinforcement and because of out of phase cancellation. I personally don't give ultra deep bass a high prio... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I do like some open baffle speakers, but, I would think that if it were so easy to make a "much better version of the Cube speaker" by making a very easy to build and cheap open baffle version, Cube or someone else would have done so already. The... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure No, I have not heard the latest Horning Aristotle Ellipse. I have heard other Horning speakers which are very dynamic and exciting sounding. I do like their use of full range drivers as wide range drivers in multi-way systems. Some of their sys... |
