| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks I am currently looking at the only great DSP demo I know of and if you are ever in the area you are welcome to hear it. The owner of Sounds of Silence will be over with a friend on Thursday. Perhaps he will comment on this thread. It will... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @terry9 Unfortunately, it is flawed. Not only is the distortion amplified but so is the signal. The distortion remains the exact same percentage. | |
| How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear? @j-wall Most systems, that have no means of loudness contouring, are going to sound too bright when turned up. This is what a system with a reasonably flat frequency response is going to do. The problem all of us face is that the correct amplitude... | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? The best and safest way to clean a stylus effectively. Get a 1/8" wide artist brush and with a very sharp scissor cut the bristles halfway down and across at a right angle. This stiffens the bristles a bit. You can use it dry to knock of dust or ... | |
| An ANSWER....of sorts...... @benanders Not. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas Then, Why does my Atlas sound better in current mode? It also has more gain and a better signal to noise ratio. | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers @deep_333 , Multiple 12 and a little DSp will do exactly the same thing with less distortion. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Bricasti Design by a country mile. Nobody’s build quality comes remotely close to Bricasti. Their amps are also killer. | |
| Continued misadventures with Ortofon 2M carts I do not think it is the cartridge. What phono section are you using with each cartridge? | |
| An ANSWER....of sorts...... @immatthewj not to worry. Everyone is. | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers 18” subs are a bad idea. Their motion can frequently leave pistonic and begin to wobble. The largest I recommend is 15”, but then you are dealing with large enclosures. 12” is a great compromise. If you want more than two 12” subs can give you, ge... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas It is not the inconsistency of current mode or voltage mode. It is the inconsistency of cartridges. In my experience the cartridges that work best in current mode have an impedance less than 5 ohms. It is generally said 10 ohms, but ... | |
| Passive subwoofer amps help! @phusis Good article and no arguments from me. I cringe every time someone characterizes a subwoofer driver as being "fast" I do not care so much about efficiency. I care most about accuracy and by a huge margin it is the enclosure that causes t... | |
| Passive subwoofer amps help! @phusis Funny you should mention the K2. They were the last Crown amps I will ever own. Their control over big sub drivers with high BL products was terrible. I think it was the back EMF that destroyed one of mine, the other went in the dumpster. ... | |
| Wonder product? @baylinor 1+ I have the capability to do all that the puffin does and more with my preamp/processor and having this kind of capability is amazing, but my preamp is now up to $15,000 and I am sure the Puffin is a lot less expensive. The only thi... |
