| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @mikelavigne The purist and the early adapter. Black and white. My room is also epic and I use dipole linear arrays which limit room interaction, ESLs with an order of magnitude less distortion than any dynamic driver. I digitize my turntable... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. "We need good cable because they make a difference" @jpan There are two types of cables, good ones and bad ones. It is extremely easy to make good ones from cable and parts you can get online. Adding a fancy casing and jacking the price only mak... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard Any news on the Larostat? The arm wand section is only 6 inches because the tonearm we are working on is a straight line tracker based on a new motor design used by the semiconductor industry in robots that position chips under lasers... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @snilf I think it would be more correct to say everything factual extends from theory. Once you have a fact it is no longer a theory. @mahgister That's exactly what I have, a nanobrain. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @mikelavigne , The Trinnov is fine for home theater. I looked carefully at the Amethyst but Its bass management is severely limited and it is not programmable at a level that is acceptable. I waited 3 years to see what DEQX was going to do making... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @brev No brev, the craftsmanship of Fleetwood Mac is not lost at all (at least until Peter Green left). It is the craftsmanship of the recording engineers that is lost and the vast majority of people do not care about that at all, only people li... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @mikelavigne , There is no such thing as a perfect room. There is also no such thing as a perfect loudspeaker and there is certainly no such thing as a perfect analog crossover. Each one of your speakers has its own amplitude curve and they are ... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @mikelavigne That itch is tough to ignore. Sometimes the newer system winds up being worse! Speakers like that are very expensive to make and the market for them is limited. There is certainly a point of diminishing returns and you are well pa... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @rauliruegas Hold on Raul. I do not use a processor to correct colorations in the recording. I use a processor to correct amplitude and timing problems with my system and room, plus using it for crossovers. The was a time when I has a specific t... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @mikelavigne Somewhere I heard you were trying to sell them? | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I forgot to mention Dahlquist DQ 10s. Amazing loudspeaker for the price, then and now. I'm stuck on ESLs. If you can find Acoustat 2+2s in decent shape, add subs and really big SS amps. You will have an amazing line source system. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @cleeds You animal! IRS Betas? You are going to destroy your hearing! What are you driving them with? Nothing like having 8 12" woofers staring at you. | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @mirolab I also play the drums, just not very well. You are right. It is impossible for most systems to produce the sound and volume of a crash cymbal, at a distance of one meter. Some horn systems can do it. However, at a concert you are not on... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @asctim I made a set of two way open baffle speakers for a friend with subwoofers below. I hung the speakers from the ceiling with decorative chains. The baffles were made of a sandwich of Corian and MDF. They were very heavy for their size. Wor... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @asctim It is because of dipole effect. They radiate in a 3D figure 8 pattern minimizing sound to the sides, up or down. Thus, there is less room interaction. I might suggest deadening the wall directly behind the speakers. It will improve your ... |
