| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Andy, all I am saying is that the more revealing a speaker is the more sensitive it is to defects up stream such as a miss tracking cartridge or distorting amplifier. ESLs, ribbons and horns are frequently blamed for problems elsewhere in the syst... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Erik, yes speakers interact with the room but that has nothing to do with the transient response on the speaker.Mike, unfortunately regular dynamic drivers are a poor impedance match to air. They have to work much harder to get the job done. ESLs ... | |
| Advice on Krell amplifier The Krell would be the easy winner here. | |
| I need some turntable guidance No noromance you are fooling yourself. When I evaluate anything having to do with audio I am careful to place the evaluation within the context of my physiologic and psychological weaknesses. You obviously have no idea were your weakness are which... | |
| I need some turntable guidance noromance, then you are a seriously superior human. Not only is audio memory extremely short in all humans except noromance but our perspective of sound is subject to psychological modification. We hear what we want to hear except noromance of cou... | |
| Azimuth setting using channel decibel level on a mono LP? This is what a balance control is for:) | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Mass and inertia guys. Transient response is how fast the driver starts and stops. Lets say you have 6 inch speakers with identical voice coils and magnets. In one the cone weights 1 oz and in the other the cone weights 2 Oz. When I play a transi... | |
| Who owns or has owned McIntosh Speakers? Whenever you see speakers with over 6 drivers alarms should go off. I'm all for linear arrays but there are much better ways of doing it like ribbons.Their top speakers are very confused about what they are. The tweeters and upper midranges are li... | |
| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement Oh, 1 million dollars. I though you were nuts:)I still would take the cabinet out of the equation by using a baffle board (painted like the cabinet to match) and a plate speaker but if you have to stick something in there fill the remaining cavity... | |
| I need some turntable guidance Noromance, you have your system set up the way you want to hear it. It is what you are use too. On top of that audio memory is very short. On top of that we hear what we want to hear. So, I am afraid that kind of comparison has no validity. Hook y... | |
| Azimuth setting using channel decibel level on a mono LP? Well, there is validity to the method assuming your anti skate was adjusted perfectly and the output of both channels of the cartridge were exactly the same. 1 db is not that much. The best cartridges match channels to about 0.5 dB. I do not care ... | |
| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement Spending $11,000 for speakers to put there? I though I was out of my mind. Temporal, spend your money on something else, women, fast carsSushi whatever. Spending more than a couple of grand for speakers there is just a waste of money. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? simmonmoon is correct. The correct term is transient response. Speakers with faster transient response tend to be more detailed and dynamic.There are a bunch of rather silly terms out there in regard to audio equipment sound quality. Terms like pa... | |
| I need some turntable guidance daveyf, the LP12 is way overdue for extinction and there is no way to upgrade it to make even remotely competitive it is so poorly engineered.The SME, SOTA and Basis turntable are all excellently engineered suspended tables and so much better than... | |
| MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR Good work displayname. I think you chose wisely (he didn't turn into dust in 30 seconds) In mechanical devises simplicity is generally best. Extraneous vibration is a big problem for cartridges and the design of the MoFi with it's dampened plinth ... |
