Speaker crossover capacitor & inductors values: schematic & implementation? Another thing to consider is that a ferrite core does an excellent job of absorbing EMI whereas an air coil is an EMI antenna. That may be a tradeoff that negates the better linearity of an air coil. Interesting. I thought air core inductors ... | |
Speaker crossover capacitor & inductors values: schematic & implementation? Thanks, Erik. Will repost this in DIYaudio and get a Dayton Audio DATS. I appreciate the help. | |
Speaker crossover capacitor & inductors values: schematic & implementation? Thanks. 2) The main thing that concerns me is the change in ESR. I've heard varying opinions on the extent of the issue. It has been suggested that when switching to low ESR film caps, to add some compensating resistance in series at the driver.... | |
Power adapter/supply for Mirage LFX-3 crossover Thanks. I think that is how I am going to go with this. | |
Power adapter/supply for Mirage LFX-3 crossover So, I asked Klipsch product support (they bought and eventually killed the Mirage brand) and they gave me an answer that didn't make much sense to me (I'm not an electrical engineer, but do have a science/engineering background). They said, "You w... | |
Twisting Anti-Cables Thorman- Not so worried about actually doing it, as i am getting the right amount of twists in (within the quoted range). Could NEVER get the other half to hold wires while I twisted them. I have a vise and it doesn't complain. ;-) I will say, how... | |
Anti-Cables and magnet wire Honest1 -- yes I know. ETP (electrolytic tough pitch ) Copper, which is standard grade used in magnet wire, is usually specified as being >99.95% Cu. The O2 is usually between 200 and 500ppm, with metallic impurities in the range of 50ppm. | |
Anti-Cables and magnet wire "Continuously Cast" is actually pretty common, and I think (but don't know for sure) that nearly all copper these days is continuously cast for reasons of productivity, efficiency, etc.Most of the generic magnet wire available has 200-400 ppm of o... | |
Real "Bookshelf" speaker 4 bookshelf or wall-mount Does putting "bookshelf" speakers actually on a bookshelf necessarily kill everything a high quality speaker has to offer, or is that only true for bookshelf speakers that arn't really designed for bookshelf or next to the wall applications? It se... | |
Can a passive pre-amp feed a powered sub? The output pre-amp is controlled by its volume knob. It feeds the crossover of the subwoofer which splits the signal and send the low pass signal to the subwoofer amp, and the high pass signal to the amp for the satellites. It works fine, and is a... | |
Can a passive pre-amp feed a powered sub? Thanks for the responses. The source is the latest Camelot Arthur v3.0 mk3 DAC. (which I assume has an output of 2V, but am unsure since it surprisingly is not listed anywhere in the manual) I don't really meed 2 sets of outputs since the amp for ... | |
Budget pre-amp for computer/office system As I said, I had a Adcom GFP-565 preamp and I was disappointed in the sound. Truly mediocre. Switching to other pre-amps revealed alot of detail that I was missing, and really opened up the soundstage. I see no reason to go back to something that ... | |
Power amp upgrades for Mirage, M3si speakers The advice for you to consider the EAD powermaster was pretty good. I have a pair of M-3si's that I bi-amp with a Powermaster 1000 (5x200 watts). It sounds great. I also have the bass below 65Hz crossed-over to a pair of Mirage BPSS-210 subwoofers... | |
Tube Rolling in a SF Line 3 Many thanks. Just what I needed to know. | |
Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Hmmm. All those jitter figures sound high, except for the Audio Alchemy player at 17 ps. Are these just being measured differently?My trusty EAD T-7000 transport produces less than 10 ps of jitter. I don't know enough about how jitter is measured ... |
