| Frequency response measurement Hey OP, my advice is to not avoid but embrace the research, besides there is plenty of info especially with REW and if you visit "gearslutz" there is an REW dedicated forum where you can get all the help you need. The process is not difficult. ... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @simonmoon, good post. As you describe, results of sensible XO mods I've done have always improved the sound, ranging from a clear and easily heard upgrade to the astonishing. | |
| Modifying Crossovers I have found some rather expensive speakers that look expensive and fitted with beautifully machined spikes to give the impression of great care and engineering chops, but have cheaped out on the XO components which are hidden from view. Push-on c... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2, Hey Jerry, thanks for the generous offer. I have a lot of experience designing and modifying XOs. Have been doing this for what seems like forever and have a speaker design of mine about to go into production. The person who asked me t... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @jaytor, understood, thanks. | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2, with regard to the Duelund bypass caps, I'm curious to know if you listened to your system before installing the bypass and what change you heard after, also which ones did you chose? @jaytor, very nice set up you have there and I not... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2, nice looking XO you put together, congratulations. Are those Path resistors you have there and did you compare with any others? There is also what appears to be maybe a Mundorf resistor mounted on a heatsink. If so I think it is a Vish... | |
| Modifying Crossovers There seems to be a lot of advice from people who have little to zero experience with XOs and even display resentment that somebody should have the temerity to suggest they could improve on what the OEM did. The idea that if better parts were nee... | |
| Vibration isolation or absorption? @whipsaw, +1 | |
| Vibration isolation or absorption? absolute mechanical isolation and decoupling cannot exist in the presence of gravity You throw this out there to further your self-serving post, intimating that because absolute decoupling is impossible, your way is the only way. Absolute deco... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, I will heed your advice, add the extra signal wire and allow it to accumulate some hours before doing anything else. I think that the single strand of wire should not take as long to settle down as the full build did. Yes the OCC i... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac, yes the CCC wire is impressive as is the OCC Ag. As most of us realise systems differ and mine which is border line over-analytical requires, I think a mix of these two types. I will modify the 'skinny' IC and allow many more hours play... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, hey Steve I'm glad you responded to this confirming my doubt about Cu. and Ag. in parallel. The 20 AWG and 24AWG Ag. I have are all P/Connex solid bare and if I add the #20 to the mix will result in about 17.5AWG. As the interconne... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Yes, I agree. At the price of silver wire I will not be making premature decisions. The first helix I built was with PC Triple C Cu. which I left in its insulation and has had now about 220 hrs. It appears to have stabilised but will not disturb i... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Hi guys, I have just received an email back from Stephanie at Parts Connexion that the 14AWG bare Connex solid Cu. wire is out of stock and that the business that supplies it has closed down !&^%# Any ideas for a substitute? I have 70 hrs pl... |
