| Passive subwoofer amps help! @audiokinesis I use Dayton Reference subwoofer drivers and I get them from Parts Express. I have not seen anything that is functionally superior at any price. They make sub drivers suitable for any enclosure situation. I do not like putting elec... | |
| Passive subwoofer amps help! @audiokinesis 1+ If you want higher performance you will need a two way crossover such as a MiniDSP or a preamp with digital bass management. I do not like Crown amps. I have had them twice and both times they were unsatisfactory. I use QSC PL380... | |
| Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue Hi Quincy, The Gyro SE is a beautiful little table and nicely designed. I do not know what kind of motor it has but I suspect it is an AC syncro motor. If there is a problem with the belt drive the speed will become irregular and if bad it will s... | |
| Tonearm resonance @sokogear Right here scratching my head. @johnnybwood The only thing you will here with a tonearm cartridge mismatch is feedback (if the arm is too light) and only under some circumstances. What you are looking for is a quieter tracking cartridg... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas It really depends on the cartridge Raul. The Atlas SL sounds better with a lower signal to noise level in current mode, but the MC Diamond sounds better in Voltage mode. The Hyperon only works in voltage mode. It's great that your 318... | |
| Record player sounds out of tune and "wavy" Clean the belt with isopropyl alcohol and the platter with brake cleaning fluid. Make sure the belt is positioned correctly and the set screw on the motor's pulley is tight. If this does not fix the problem you have a defective turntable. | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions @robes What you have there is a real mess. First of all, try it out. If there is no hum then you are good to go. Many components have chassis ground connected to the negative signal jacks. So for instance, if you have an amplifier that passes grou... | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions @robes Floating ground means disconnecting the AC line ground from the device. This assumes the device is being grounded by a unit attached to it, By floating the ground (this is what "Cheaters" are for) you are breaking the loop causing the hum.... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @pindac Not really chemical reaction. Read about neurotransmitters and vestibular nucleus. | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions You have a whole house surge protector, the Zerosurg is an unnecessary road block. You already have a "star" grounding situation at the power strip. The problems come when the signal wires pass ground from one piece of equipment to another, so you... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas Of course all multi driver speakers do not perform the same, but they are multi driver speakers nonetheless and separate the audio band which is noticeable as you walk up the speaker. One of the cool things about full range ESLs is t... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? I can sit on a wooden bench and listen to music. Here again I am going to disagree with Raul. Nobody in the store though the Denon sounded better than the Koetsu. Perhaps this was an example of groupthink. The cartridge did not last very long, pe... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong @macg19 That is why it was a brave thing to do. However, if all manufacturers of great equipment would take this stance instead of keeping their mouths shut, scared of losing sales, there would not be near as much mythology and people would have ... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas Perfect for you, but then that is all that counts. The difference between 50 kHz and 100 kHz is one octave, an octave not a single one of us can hear, not to mention most loudspeakers can not reproduce. The Koetsu of the day sounded... |
