| Dustcover Blues @rauliruegas Glass is a bad material to use for a dust cover as it can ring. Have you ever made a wine glass sing? If it is thick enough to prevent ringing it will be very heavy and difficult to manage even if hinged. The dust cover I use now is... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @maxson Don't worry about it. It's my thread and it can go anywhere it wants. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm Come on Lew. You know you are preaching to the choir. I use essentially one 1:100 transformer to drive my Sound Labs just as I did the 2+2s and they sound exactly the same except for dispersion and output capability. The midbass of the Sound... | |
| Dustcover Blues @mahler123 Avoiding the dust cover is old audiophile dogma, the fear being that the dust cover resonates and affects sound quality. In some cases this might happen. Most people like yourself can not hear a difference. Dust covers that sit directly... | |
| Cartridge upgrade @rfauto I also forgot to mention you have to go into the unit and set gain to 45 dB. The instructions tell you how to do that. On the back you set the dip switches to 47k. | |
| Cartridge upgrade @rfauto If that is really the case, that idiot had no idea what he is talking about. Your Chinook is capable of applying the correct 47 k ohm load the Voice needs, Just read the diagram on the back of the unit!!! Return the Blue. The Voice is so m... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm See, you learn something everyday. I've still blown out more Quads than you:-) We both own extremely similar loudspeakers, I suspect for a reason. Acoustat 2+2s driven by one big transformer and crossed to subwoofers at 100 Hz sound exactly ... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand Having low bass is a lot of fun. Digital electronics do make it much easier to to get to the point where the subwoofers are invisible while still supporting the low bass. I promise you that if you get a second and digitally high pass... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm You apparently do not listen to me either Lew. I was one of the very first people in the entire world to mess around with stacked Quads. It was the brainchild of Mark Levinson and John Curl. It was called the HQD system. Levinson marketed an... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @dover yes, I listened to it most of the day yesterday. The sound was definitely less harsh, better, but after listening to 5 records that I know really well I best describe the overall performance as flat, flat in terms of excitement and visceral... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm My assessment of the Tympanies matches yours. I also took a foray into ribbon speakers with the Apogee Divas, also a big mistake. It was back into Acoustat 2+2s until the Sound Labs came along. You mentioned being fond of live performance... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand You were talking about balanced force woofers which are bipoles in the context of speakers which are dipoles. As you correctly mention 57s are dipoles. There is a huge difference. The dipole nature of panel speakers is not the same i... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @bdp24 Roger was a smart guy. 100 Hz is right. The only problem was he only had analog filters to use and 24 dB/oct or 4th order was the steepest he could go without penalty but it is too slow and you will get subwoofer coming through in the midra... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @bdp24 Dipole subs do not work well, I have built and tested them. No matter how heavy you make them they shake and the cancellation effects along with room modes create wild frequency response aberrations. The problem for line source users is to... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @richardbrand What is so special about the 10th row is that is where we use to sit, I can vouch for that location. The presentation may be better elsewhere, but I can not say. You obviously do not under stand how lines sources work. The best are ... |
