| Which balanced crossover fits with Apogee FR's? Hello, This is also not my area of expertise but I also use the NHT X-2 but also only as a sub crossover. You can choose up to 50hz, 80 or 120hz into the sub, the rest goes up into your speakers. It is either balanced or rca into and out of it and... | |
| Schematics for Apogee Dax 1 or 3? Thanks Sussman... Unfortunately, I've been there without great results. But thanks again. Regards | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- Distracting thoughts that enter your mind while driving are about some new cables or accessory you're trying to get a hold of... | |
| Do you listen alone or with guest s Alone 99.99% of the time. An occasional friend drops by and gets to sit in the sweet spot and I do love the jaw-dropping reactions... but other than that, it's my personal time which is deeply appreciated as an escape from the outside world. Unfor... | |
| What time do you wear? Luminox daily...rugged, reliable, highly legible, waterproof, reasonable $$$, Swiss quartz.Breitling when I'm dressing up: rugged, reliable, highly legible (it's a "superocean"), waterproof (1000 meters,yes, 3 zeros, Meters,), slightly less reason... | |
| New op amps, good idea? Thanks for all the additional input. I think the power supply will be targeted as well as the bridge rectifier, caps and resistors, as per Bombaywalla's great advice (really nice Scinnies by the way and the Cat/Symphonic must make an outstanding c... | |
| New op amps, good idea? Great information so far and exactly why these forums are so helpful and appreciated. Yes, it is an Apogee Dax, but not the one pictured with my previous Mini Grands. I have Duetta Signatures now and the one we're discussing is an original Dax 1. ... | |
| Tubes in the Dark? I can understand how those wine glasses with their high center of gravity can be precarious in the dark...one of the reasons why I use low, wide glasses for my vodka concoctions...don't want to spill a drop of that, especially as the night wears o... | |
| Tubes in the Dark? The mirror idea crossed my mind more than once but setting them up to be reflected at just the right angles to go over the main transformers and all which is basically 'boxed' in front of them would be tough. I actually have a tentative design mad... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? I just picked up the Fisher, they did a nice job. The tech says he owns 4x500c's personally and one 800 (is that a model?) and loves them. That said, he poured his heart into replacing everything he thought it could use and cleaning it up nicely :... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? Thanks for the input Lewm. The crossover does have a high pass filter (choices of 50, 80, or 110 hz) which is what helps the CJ handle the Apogees without issue. Should I really ask the tech to try to increase the phono gain or should I just try i... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? OK, Thanks for the input so far guys but I should have completed the scene with the rest of my system. The Fisher was brought in to act as a full featured unit for a secondary pair of speakers which I know it will match up to beautifully: Silverli... | |
| Do power cords make an audible difference? You heard a difference because they DO make an audible difference. Just because it's not easily explainable and because the logic of it seems so inconceivable does not mean it is not true. In 99.9% of the time a decent after-market power cable suc... | |
| Best bourbon? Four Roses, Single Barrel. Ultra smooth, amazingly rich sippin' bourbon. In a warm handed, ever so slightly melted, ever so slightly swirled glass of ice...it "gels" with the sweet spot chair. | |
| Cold room, Bad for equipment? Hi Magfan, I wasn't living here when the vinyl siding was done to the house and my detached garage (the room we're discussing) so I can't be sure if Tyvek was used under the siding or not... whatever is considered "standard procedure" with vinyl s... |
