| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? I heard the DeVore 0/96 speakers driven by an 8W 300B amp sounding great. I spent most of my time at the audio show listening to these finding them fun and entertaining. Certainly these can't be accused of 'got completely wrong' Someone here with... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. Guys, I feel it would be remiss of me not to warn you about Dennis Fooley. Apart from him frequently offering dubious information he has spent time in prison. Best to steer clear. To those who think that bass traps do not belong in corners here ... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better @erik_squires of course actives sound better. It goes without saying that the same quality amplification must be used for the comparison so the damping factor is the same. One of the most pertinent reasons for superior sound is that there is no ... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Hugh Masekela, the track Stimela. A South African trumpeter who will certainly get your attention and anyone else's in the room. | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Chuck Mangioni ... Children of Sanchez, plays Yamaha flugelhorn (startling dynamics) Johan Linstead and Nicholas Gunn, particularly well done latino and one of my favourites. | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address I seldom respond without reading the whole thread but here I skipped past most replies. This is just inane drivel. The word bloviating comes to mind. Hey OP which competing speaker manufacturer do you work for? Change your name and try again! | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. I recently placed some Vibrapods under my Oppo 103 and was very pleasantly surprised at the result. On the strength of this I bought a used Townshend Platform to replace the Vibrapods, which elevated the sound further. The difference was IMO well ... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? Yes, multi-subs along with bass traps and absorption of the strong early reflections are the best way to tame the acoustics. This done properly will essentially remove the damaging effects of an untreated room and allow you to hear the acoustics o... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? @panzerwagon, a good post. I agree. @noir59, "Treat the room only when all else fails" The room itself creates huge problems which happens in all rooms, an unavoidable fact and is the downfall of many potentially great systems. If you have somet... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, great thanks. I will be visiting my home country South Africa for a few weeks and will take the speaker cables, a PC and a pair of IC's with. I will also be visiting my mates at 'the old farts club' a bunch of good guys who are not c... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, thanks. I have just enough TFA 14awg to make a 2.5 : 1 ratio helix. Would this be detrimental in any way? Unfortunately I don't have the time to order more. A year ago when I ordered from TFA the package took 5 weeks to arrive. It ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Hi Steve, a friend has asked me to make speaker cables for his system. The speakers are my design at 96dB sensitivity and driven by a Manley Stingray tube amp providing 40W ultralinear and 25W triode-connected which is how it is alwa... | |
| Speaker cable length. This is a total non-issue. The only effect if taken to the extreme would be to slightly reduce the damping factor. Could you hear it? Well if you measure the DCR of the woofer voice coils you will find a small difference and nobody bothers with th... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @grannyring, I was trying to search through some of your posts where I think you mentioned preferring VH Audio's silver wire with AirLok insulation as being a little 'more relaxed' than bare wire in tubes where I happened upon an old post of yours... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, That's great, I have the Neotech neutral here and waiting on the silver. I'll report my findings when complete. Would using a gold plated Sonarquest schuko plug instead of the silver plated dull dynamics and transients? Only consi... |
