| Building Resonance Free Subwoofers @curiousjim Thank you Jim. I wish to reiterate. There is nothing I can not do with a band saw and hand tools, both powered and not. The big machines just make me faster. For me the fun part is what I call process engineering. How the heck am I goi... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @dwette I use vacuum clamping and I do not have any problems with lipless records sealing properly. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? I built my own SUT specifically for very low impedance cartridges. It started off as a nifty science project and initial results were pretty bad. I tossed it in a corner. A year later my phono stage had to go back to the factory for repair, so I d... | |
| Clearaudio Clarify Help Needed! @balthus Have you got it straightened out yet?? | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @dwette I am certainly noticing more lipless records and I have to say that I prefer them. For those of us who cue manually they are much nicer. | |
| Building Resonance Free Subwoofers @terry9 Go for it! IMHO there is no such thing as too much power for subwoofers. With the amount of gain required at 20 Hz and the corrections room control makes some frequencies are going to be plus 15 to 20 dB. That is 6 to 8 times the amount of... | |
| Add a subwoofer? @soix Hey, I am all in favor of subwoofers and SVS makes a high value 15" subwoofer. The Cornwalls go very loud, just not very deep. The deep has to go as loud as the not so deep. A Pair of 12" drivers will have to work too hard to keep up creatin... | |
| Speakers on top of subwoofer @gdaddy1 Yes, and it applied to items like automobiles. The job of loudspeakers is to create vibration. If the speaker enclosure is designed correctly it should not vibrate. Any vibration of an enclosure is audible and called distortion. Those fee... | |
| Add a subwoofer? @soix You obviously are not familiar with Cornwalls which are capable of prodigious output. They will swamp two 12" drivers. I many systems subwoofers do more harm than good. If the OP is a critical listener and continues along the path he is on... | |
| Speakers on top of subwoofer @gdaddy1 First of all, those Wilson's are incapable of projecting 20 Hz into a closet. Frequency response specs are extremely misleading being taken at one meter. In short, they are not subwoofers which for the majority are poorly designed, cheapl... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm With high quality, properly set up arms and cartridges very little of this applies. What is with that silly brush hanging of the front of that cartridge? I always removed those as they increase skating. I stared at the cantilever of my Atlas and ... | |
| Building Resonance Free Subwoofers @terry9 Thanx! I have never heard the DWM. I assume you are using Magnepan loudspeakers. Where does the Isobaric sub come in? It is important to note for the gallery that properly made cylindrical subwoofer enclosures do not require any bracing ... | |
| Building Resonance Free Subwoofers @clio09 The swarm is built to a price, but I agree crossover flexibility is an important factor when is comes to integration. The most flexible by far are digital. @bdp24 You won't get an argument from me. Roger Modjeski was absolutely right. Big... | |
| Speakers on top of subwoofer If you want your speakers above the subwoofers build a stand that straddles the subwoofers | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? I am a line source, dipole, ESL kind of guy. I have listened to the Ktemas extensively powered by a Bricasti Design M 25. I have to say The Ktemas are the best point source speakers I have ever heard and represent a fabulous value. The company wil... |
