| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @lewm , I was not trying to give you a lesson on TL design, Just my opinion. I have heard some excellent TLs from Celestion back in the day and more currently Sanders also under an ESLs! MDf is OK for a woofer, but not for a subwoofer actually p... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas , sorry if I F-ed that up. I don't always read things right. Your a little more difficult for me to understand sometimes. You are one of a few that I have some confidence in their hearing and technological shrewdness. I know for a fa... | |
| Tonearm Parallel? The SRA needs to be 92 degrees. The arm has to be adjusted to achieve that angle. | |
| VTA my compromise in setting Thank You @testpilot! If you can hear the difference between the various record weights you need to have a long discussion with your shrink. It is more likely that the variation between record Lathes is greater. Set Your SRA at 92 degrees on a 180... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @lewm , transmission lines are arguably the hardest type of enclosure to design. Yes, you can effectively double the size/efficiency of the driver at some frequencies. The problem is that the front and rear waves are only exactly in phase at certa... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas just because a sub is a balanced force design does not necessarily mean it is going to be good. It depends on the quality of the drivers and the construction of the enclosure. All internal bracing does is change the frequency of the r... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas , That Evolution sub is absolutely nothing special and will resonate it's a-s off. The only subwoofers that have a prayer of performing at state of the art levels are those with a balanced force design. This is the only way to neutral... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @phusis , knock yourself out phusis. @holmz , It is a nice problem to have. There is no amount of coloration that is acceptable. The problem for most audiophiles is that they can't avoid it. Some of them like phusis even glorify it, make it not o... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas, Raul, we built our systems over many years guided by our own preferences which vary to a large degree even though we agree on many aspects. On these issues I can tell you that you need to alter your opinion. I owned Apogee Divas for ... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @Phusis, if you think those speakers image you have never heard the image of a current state of the art system. Experience is the best teacher. Next, what do you know about CAD when it comes to speakers? Do you actually design speakers? Back in th... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @lewm , thanks Lew. That is a common subwoofer mistake, crossing over too low. The makers of commercial subs using just a low pass filter suggest that but, it does not clean up the main speaker as much. Info below 40 Hz is relatively rare. If you ... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @holmz , the technology was the same a century ago but speakers had different requirements. Given the state of amplifier development, efficiency was a very important issue if you wanted to fill a whole theater with sound. Now we have CAD tech to h... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @atmasphere @rauliruegas , OK guys, I'm the one who owns the SLs. You are both right and both wrong. Asking Dipole ESLs to make bass causes a lot of trouble. They will do it but it knocks the wind out of them in regards to headroom and increases... | |
| Simplest Linear PSU? @jerryg123 , sh-t Jerry. The last thing you want to do is agree with me. That is the kiss of death. | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @phusis , by all means enjoy your EVs. |
