| VH Audio Vcaps Sns, I am just curious. If you have the following suspect issues:: 1. Cart alignment / 2. inadequate Cart / 3. Remaining stock caps / 4. lack of break in of new caps..How could you ascribe anything to a particular alteration?IMO, you need to come ... | |
| NHT Classic Ten or HSU VTF-1 or STF-2? Right you are! I read 'STF' as 'VTF'. I like the VTF2 since the internal x-over goes down to below 40hz, some others don't go that low and it has Stereo RCA's, so it was easy to go from the pre-outs of my integrated.Any place will loan you the NHT... | |
| NHT Classic Ten or HSU VTF-1 or STF-2? If you live in Southern California, the HSU is a no-brainer.If you go to the 'factory store' you will end up with 10% off for cash and NO shipping charges. Even at todays inflated gasoline price, that makes it a reasonable deal. Unless all you hav... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones If a fuse element (wire) is 1 inch long, an electron is in that said element for about 8.5e-11 seconds. I simply can not see how that could effect an electron enough to be audible.Also, If fuse elements DID vibrate you would see more failure of th... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps Any opinions on X-over caps....in this case for my Magnepan MG1.6s.......???Keep in mind I am not rich! | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I can't use Magnetic Fuses 'cause of the Steel Plate in my head. I hear a whistling sound. | |
| Amp for Maggies Magnepan Users Group (MUG) really got my attention.Some of the tweaks and X-over mods/suggestions are Great.I found photos and an original ad for my MG-1s there, with 'wings' on the stands I hadn't even known existed. | |
| How thick is the limit?... never heard anyone say? Yes, everything resonates. The way to avoid that is to have multiple layers of stuff that doesn't share a frequency. Hi or is that low? hysterisis rubber (whichever one doesn't bounce!) is a good layer to add to a resonant system. Many years ago, ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Let's hope it doesn't come to that! | |
| How thick is the limit?... never heard anyone say? Isn't resonant frequency related to mass? More mass=lower Fr.Also, wood being a 'natural' composit will have the resonant modes distributed so there will not be one 'bell like' peak.You are correct that speaker builders take advantage of this.Howe... | |
| Current Draw The speaker level input on subs is Very High Impedence. | |
| Amp for Maggies PS Audio GCC250 is my choice w/1.6s.I run them full range w/sub x-over at 45hz. The PS is an ICE ASP500 module amp. | |
| Quality of amps in bridged mono ? Amps can apparently be bridged in parallel or series.This will make a difference in results......but not the fact that generally things go.....downhill.Some, my old Rotel RB-1070, for example didn't even spec 4ohm stereo power and only listed 8 oh... | |
