| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond , you will hate any analog high pass filter. To operate a subwoofer correctly all filters have to be digital. The highest quality units now use 64 bit floating point processors and have none of the issues older units had like the volume co... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @rsf507 talking about $60,000 Phono stages is not that relevant to most people either. @rauliruegas , since I design and build my own subwoofers and analyze the results I know a lot more about it than most audiophiles. Putting a 1st order high p... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @rauliruegas , Raul, I have been using subwoofers with ESLs since 1979. The system then was Acoustat Model Xs, with two RH Labs subwoofers, a Dahlquist crossover and Kenwood LO 7M amps. The model Xs were soon replaced by Monitor 4s which were plan... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @ledoux1238 , have patience. You definitely want to upgrade to the 3.3 when available. @kingrex, I have a very recent Seta L plus with current mode. If you want a little more floweriness in your sound try a My Sonic lab Signature cartridge. The go... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond, Are you dizzy yet? What you have here is a whole bunch of people making assumptions without a bit of first hand knowledge. The horse's mouth is right here. I have been using subwoofers with ESLs since 1979 and have been through every perm... | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience The only speakers you can really listen up close to are full range ESLs as everything is coming from one driver. Sonically you never get close to the speaker. As you move towards two and three way speakers it becomes obvious at some point that you... | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience @johnk , quite correct. The major advantage of horns aside from their efficiency is their controlled dispersion. This limits room interaction and improves imaging.. I have never heard Jubalees but have a lot of experience with K horns. They do no... | |
| Need some help with Analog,Just Learning What is wrong with your "sound quality?" Do other program sources sound OK? | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? @smodtactical , For that space you are going to need at least two 12" subs with excursions over a cm or you will be pissing into a forest fire. The idea that music requires different subwoofers than theater I find very odd. Any sub system that c... | |
| Field coil dava cartridge @newtoncr , I have an MC Diamond and it definitely sounds better with current mode amplification which you have in your CH. SUTs are a waste of time when you have a phono stage like the CH. Loading does not matter in current mode. I also have the ... | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 @bubba12 , you can listen to anything on Maggies but they are volume limited and they do not do low bass well. Subwoofers can take care of that problem but the other problem is if you have one of the speakers that has Maggies wonderful ribbon twee... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @lewm . I'll put my black robe back on. While that is true about the double bass there is a lot more going on with a Jazz trio that will drop below 20 Hz, an undamped bass drum. The pulse you get when the bassist thumbs a string, the reverberation... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @lewm , the wider speakers may have more baffling effect which theoretically might help them with bass extension. My point is that I do not want them making bass at all. At the volumes I listen at with the music I listen to (Porcupine Tree is on r... | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 What size is your room? | |
| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? @clearthinker , I used Acoustat 2+2s for decades. They were great speakers with just a few flaws. ESLs are it for me. |
