| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 Regarding the potential mismatch of the two amps, your point is crystal clear. I will know in two weeks time.If there is a mismatch, the issue of which x/o remains. The initial thought was a passive x/o, 1st order. However, several comments... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 I greatly appreciate your answers. As it turns out one of the amplifiers that I will be using, Mactone mh 300b, has a built in volume control. It put out 22 watts and I am using it right now to drive the LFT-8b's to satisfactory level. B... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 1. Can I simplify use two separate amps, one connected to m/t panels and one connected to the woofers, without a cross-over? Do I need some form of volume control for output mismatch? 2. From reading the manual, I need two x/o in passive ap... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 Thanks for the BDR tip. I am sure I can source locally for something similar. The Townshend pods will be inserted sometime down the line.There is a question about adding OB subs to the ET’s. I think you run GR Research servo subs and you do... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 Leaving the SA stands is probably the way to go with a bit more mass, as you say, at the bottom. How is the height of the Townshend pods affecting listening on the vertical axis? Do you need to change your chair / sofa height? I find the E... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don,It looks like a good month before we’ll get a report from you. Looking forward to it.@dover I emailed Vic regarding the new wand. It really is a trampoline! Adjustments of cartridge and counterweight are done by sliding ‘O’ rings. He develope... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity AmplifiersIn the past 1 1/2 year three tube amps and three pre-amp / phono stage has passed through the ET’s. I believe with @bdp24 that tubes in the signal chain mitigate brightness. I started with an all tube combo, vintage MFA Luminescence pr... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update UPDATE ALERT!it seems Vic has been a restless soul in retirement. He has posted a new wand that he claims to extract even more ‘details from the groove’. Frankly, I don’t know what to make of the new wand in light of recent discussions of complian... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Terry,Thanks for the explanation, crystal clear. As you can see, I am struggling with the CF wand and a 9ish g cartridge. Unless you start making your Panzerholz wand available for the masses, I am with @dnicol, getting by with adding weights. Sigh! | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dnicol, The timing of your post is uncanny. Prior to last week, I had been playing with a zyx ultimate 100, the entry level cartridge at 5 g - very enjoyable. More importantly it worked very well with the Terminator, I got to experiment with pump... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Terry,Allowing wood to naturally air dry for a long period of time is the best way for it to settle and stabilize. I know of a woodworker who uses an alternating kiln / air dry process for over a year to prep wood for flooring application. Just to... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Terry,The development of your Panzerholz wand is very informative, that it improves over the Tomahawk. The refinement of the Terminator carries on, first with the carbon fiber wand, and now equally (? ) the Panzerholz. I wonder if a laminate of P... | |
| Puritan Audio 156 or 136 vs PIAudio UberBuss @facten Thank you. I did the same and PM'ed BRM. I put in an order for the psm 156. Due to my location in Asia, I paid retail minus VAT shipped. I'll report in a couple of weeks. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don,I recall you mentioning that your TT2 will only work with the Goldfinger, 15 g. And in order to try other cartridges, you decided to try the Terminator. Did I remember correctly? If so, why is the TT2 so restrictive in its cartridge c... | |
| Puritan Audio 156 or 136 vs PIAudio UberBuss Thanks Wig,I did put in a post on the AC forum. No reply yet. |
