| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Side question: what do you guys recommend for a tweeter protection cap in an active system? Protection for DC on amp turn on, or eventual active crossover malfunction.A good rule of thumb in an active system is the protection should be set two oct... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hi jsman.I'm interested in learning more about your midrange horn. Is it circular? What are your xo points and what is the horn cutoff frequency? I'm also exploring tractrix midrange horns. Right now with a suitable cone driver but also considerin... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello Al.Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful reply. I've gone through it several times in the last couple of days.You made it very clear so I can work through the tradeoffs. Maybe running the amp up to 50% si not as offensive? Something to try... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello Ralph (Atmasphere).I've seen your comments before and I am keeping them in mind as I design/assemble my new system, a 4-way active. If using a 45 amp to only reproduce 350 to 2000Hz on a 100 dB/W driver in a 25m2 room and if average listenin... | |
| A/B comparison McIntosh MC275 MK IV vs. MC275 MK VI I have not heard the mk VI, but have the mk IV and I've tried a couple of things.On my amp/system, fuses had a very marginal impact.Rolling 12ax and 12at tubes had a significant impact.Replacing stock kt88 for shuagang treasures had a very signifi... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Indeed, high efficiency and high impedance speakers are common factors when you read/hear someone is happy with a SET amp. Another factor is the SET should be driven "well below" its rated power, which is of course undefined how low is low enough.... | |
| Subwoofer hunt FWIW, I own Rythmiks and believe they are very good. I used to have REL Storm, and don't regret the change one bit. Rythmiks are very tight and I have them in a sealed cabinet, plus their servo seems to work really well. They also are very flexibl... | |
| Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction? I use Acourate. Been using it for 2 years. Initially I only used it for room correction. Eventually implemented active crossovers (within Acourate) between subwoofers and the 3-way speakers, then added a pair of monoblocks and added another active... | |
| Where do I start Hello gotog. Sorry for the delayed answer.I suggest going in small steps. I did that, and being a non-pc-techie I'm happy I did. Plus computer audio opens the door to maybe unimagined options. You don't need much computing power to play music. But... | |
| USB audio problems You can set latency for the audio device from the device driver. Try increasing latency and see if the noises persist. | |
| USB audio problems I hear no pops, clicks or crackles in my system. Did you find out what causes it? Maybe latency settings are too low? | |
| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? Thanks for the heads-up guys. It does look utilitarian indeed. | |
| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? Thanks all for the input.I contacted Ocellia and they are being responsive, which is great.Jrinkerptdnet and Gsm18439 owned an A-08S but decided they neeeded more power. I realize power is THE challenge for the 45 tube, which is likely most notice... | |
| Amp for stereo subs The Crowns sound like an interesting option, especially at the price.Good plate amps could be had from Hypex in The Netherlands. They make the NCores, which would be overkill for this application as their strength is on how refined they are for a ... | |
| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? Thanks guys.I'm intrigued by the lack of owners and threads about this brand. I was aware of Srajan's reviews and those also fueled my interest. The few things I came around sound appealing, but the fact they are so few are also making me pause.Ch... |
