| Subwoofer Advice Making deep bass accurately is very difficult because the laws of physics are stacked against us. Bass is also vague relative to midrange, it not as easily localized if at all and the timbre of bass instrument is determined by their contributions ... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @big_greg you think? Just because your subs are not at max volume does not mean they do not resonate. Some enclosures are better than others, but the only commercial subwoofer that are virtually resonance free is the Magico Q series subwoofers and... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? Detail is how well you can pick out individual voices and instruments and how much of their timbre you can appreciate. Percussion cannot be used to determine detail as it is hyper-detailed and leads to a false sense of detail. The best test is a s... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts About 3 feet, but do yourself a favor and be happy with your newly programmed MLs. Don't stress your finances. Save up and when you have more than enough, go for broke. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @rauliruegas | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @lewm you know I meant the wavelength of the tracing, obviously the wavelength in air does not change. | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts If you really are attached to ESLs (I certainly am) The Sound Labs 545s give you 45 degrees of horizontal dispersion without curving the diaphragm which is a very non linear approach. This is why ML has to cross out of the ESL portion a... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @dogberry I think music is a separate issue almost entirely. I can enjoy music on a transistor radio. Being an audiophile is about the sound for which there are innumerable definitions. For me it is recreating the live performance on my audiophile... | |
| MoFi or Harbeth (used) @panzrwagn I am 100% right if the line source ends at barriers like the floor and the ceiling. The line source behavior then extends down to 1 Hz. As you note, line sources project power better and are used exclusively at large concerts. Their ver... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts Yamaha NS 5000s? What you really need are a pair of Sound Labs 545s and Subwoofers. If you get the subwoofers for your MLs the switch will be easy. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk You do not want me to answer that question. | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters Come on @rauliruegas you know darn well that I have read everything. Yes, it is true that any given frequency has a shorter wavelength as the groove speed declines, but the situation does not get serious until you are inside of 65 mm. I would gues... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts That is quite the combo, Alice in Chains and Herb Albert. The Grunge seems to be serious bad luck. There were suicides in all three bands. Probably a good thing to stick with Herb Albert. You should try Fourplay, Bob James band, Smooth ... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? In that case I would get a Sota Sapphire, Kuzma 4 point 9, Channel D Lino C loaded and an Air Tight Opus One or Lyra Atlas SL | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk 30K gets you an awfully fine phono stage and cartridge. With that kind of money I would get a loaded Channel S Lino C 3.0. and an Air Tight Opus 1 or a Lyra Atlas SL or maybe even an Ortofon MC Diamond. |
