| Bass management with stand alone preamps They are not listed on the site. At least I have not seen them. What does he do? | |
| Blackbird / SME Viridian, the effective mass of the detachable head shell version is 12.5 gms. This version is 9.5 grams not 6.5. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that vertical bearing it is just expensive to make. Every arm has some "secondary" resonances ... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel It is not only phase but arrival times that are important. Two woofers can be in phase at a specific frequency but if one is say 15 feet from the listening position and another 10 feet from the listening position the arrival times will vary and th... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono' georgehifi in order to make that work right you need a rather expensive digtal crossover to do it right. Then you bypass the in speaker analog network.ssnk you really should look into Channel D's Pure Music. You do have to buy it but you get a fre... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Kosst I think Ralph would give you a huge argument on that one. It has to do with the relationship between sensitivity and efficiency which are not the same. Anyway, he says his amps drive low impedance loads just fine. He has several amps on Wils... | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps I can do better Atmasphere. It is not far off the distributed array idea but is a more powerful. I have mentioned it before on this site. I have linear arrays which project power differently than point source speakers. Their power drops off at the... | |
| Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps? Thanx twodolfins. I am certainly going to use them with ESLs. Good luck in finding your MA-1s! | |
| Blackbird / SME Go on Amazon and search for Technics Head shell weight. One should do it. If your resonance frequency winds up too low you can shave parts of the weight off with a Dremel tool to get it right 8-10 Hz. get the Hi FI News test record. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel 4 JL Audio Fathom V2. That should scare your neighbors to death. | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps Atmasphere, I think you are confusing room correction with bass management. Bass management supplies cross over points, slopes and outputs for sub woofers. Room control without careful woofer set up and acoustic management in the room just shifts ... | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps esthlos13, yes Trinnov does 8, 16 and 32 channel units using the same system. The Amethyst is the only two channel unit they make. They make a stand alone room control unit but the Amethyst adds a lot of important features like digital bass manage... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound I have heard great examples of both types. It is interesting that Atma-sphere amps have been forgotten in this discussion. They are class A OTLs Tube amps and many say better than any type of class A SS amp.They all get hot so why not have a littl... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound It all comes down to the way the amp sounds into a specific speaker and the only way to know that is to hook them up and have a listen. You can make assumptions all day long and many of them will prove right. But, assumptions are the mother of all... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... Actually noromance you can kick the stand under a SOTA and as long as you do not kick the stand out from under it will continue along as if nothing happened. But, not only is it insensitive to this abuse it is also insensitive to everything else t... | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... I am 65 and can still hear 18,000 Hz just fine. I do not normally play at 110 db but I do have a sound level meter and the system will go that loud w/o distortion. A comfortable loud volume is 95 db. Tweek, properly set up Acoustat 2+2s with sub w... |
