| Could headphones be used to evaluate speakers? You are forgetting the room is a major part of the performance of any speaker system. Some speakers will do well in a certain room others may not. Having said that If you have a good set of reference headphones you can use them to get an idea of w... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable I do not think so testpilot. He is setting the motor speed when it is cold. It should be the same next time he checks it cold. dcaudio, next time you start up check the speed but do not change it. Get an idea of how many dots drift by a fixed poin... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander Gee this is fun. I will now respectfully bow out. I encourage everyone with interest to read respected manuals on the subject of speakers and all their associated parts such as my favorite, The Loudspeaker Handbook by John eargle. There are severa... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander Audiotroy, Most audio sales people I have known, and I was one once, were rather poorly educated, impressionable, dishonest, mythologists whose sole purpose was to sell whatever stuff they had in stock that had the largest profit margin. It was so... | |
| Found the bass culprit in my monitor speakers... I'm sure. My father's B302a speakers were a glorious part of my childhood. With a Dynaco stereo they would play 95 db or so beautifully.He had an Ampex real to reel and the prerecorded tapes he had were incredible, a lot of Jazz and classical. I m... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander Oh, Martin Logans do not image any better than any other ESL or Ribbon loudspeaker. They are compromised by having to cross to a woofer usually at 250 Hz or above because the curved panel is non linear. Sanders, who designed this panel for ML aban... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander Audiotroy, when you go to a large say stadium show what you see are very large usually JBL linear arrays. They are in no way point source because point source loudspeakers suck in that application for the same reason they suck in large rooms. Now,... | |
| Turntable leveling My turntable sits on a 150 lb circular granite slab glued to a gimballed gearing from which hangs a 250 pound pendulum. It is accurate to 1/1000 of a degree. Just kidding. A spirit level is all you will ever need. | |
| Found the bass culprit in my monitor speakers... stereo5, yes you are right. My father had a pair of B302as and as you describe they had I think it was fiberglass insulation probably between 1/2 to 1" thick stapled to the inside wall of the cabinet. They were doing that I think to reduce resonan... | |
| beryllium vs diamond jsautter, I think you are on the right path. All anyone can ever do with problems is compound them. Not that you can't tune your system to sound a certain way with the attractive characteristics of certain components. In spite of my system being v... | |
| Found the bass culprit in my monitor speakers... The original paper on this was done by Acoustic Research in I think it was 1954. They released the first "acoustic suspension" loudspeaker shortly there after the AR-1. Before then most speakers were infinite baffle and much larger like Bozak spea... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander audiotroy, to be kind you have no idea what you are talking about and judging by your dialect would not know a good speaker if it hit you over the head. Your explanations of physics and acoustics lack any semblance of reality and the way you descr... | |
| TVs' sharpness control and modern speaker design House philosophy. I think the dealers are more inclined to stack the deck. | |
| Help me decide on my next cartridge (<$900) viridian, I think that is called cutting off your nose to spite your face. I would think that you could have enough fun playing around with tonearms and cartridges. The suspended SOTA turntable is one of less than a handful of turntables that are ... | |
| Found the bass culprit in my monitor speakers... Audiodav unfortunately not a good idea. The acoustic filling in speakers essentially makes the enclosure seem about 30% larger to the woofer than it actually is lowering the system resonance frequency and improving low bass frequency response. It ... |
