| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker There is absolutely nothing special about these speakers. They use the same old technology. I did not say the were bad but hey are not in any way shape or form a breakthrough. | |
| mint best tractor gone? I do not see anywhere on this web site what alignment the protractor is set to. For modern systems the best alignment is Lofgren B. It has the lowest distortion over most of the record. It is only higher at the very inside of the record which is a... | |
| Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge @lewm 1+ The OP has to limit his choices to cartridges with an coil resistance 10 ohms or less. The OP has not given us the amount he wishes to spend. At $2000 The Lyra Delos is very hard to beat. It has a reasonable output and a 6.3 ohm resistan... | |
| New Rel Classic 98 Subwoofer @j_andrews , They are very nice looking and remind me of my old RH Labs subs from back in the late 70's. There is a problem and that is down firing drivers are inherently non linear. Because of the weight of the moving part (Cone, voice coil, spi... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @ricevs , No, you can not parallel SHDs. The Dirac Live only knows about 4 channels in the SHD. As far as the crossover are concerned you might be able to double it up although I think that is a silly proposition. You are much better off with Dir... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @ricevs When my TacT 2.2x bit the dust the DEQX was still two months away. So, to fill in the space I got a MiniDSP SHD $1500 with UMiK 2. The Pre 8 is still one month away, so I will be glad to tell you what I think after a week with the DEQX. ... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? @markalarsen The new DEQX units which will be along shortly are insanely more user friendly and considerably more expensive. They will not require an expert to set up. Their build quality has gone up significantly. The Pre 8 has a 4 way crossove... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? @kraftwerkturbo , It is not push pull kraft it is push push and totally relevant to this topic if you want the best performance. Take any subwoofer and play a bass heavy number at highish volume. Put your hand on the subwoofers enclosure. You wil... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @jaytor , Good move. I have been doing this for 25 years and keep a close eye on the market. I have been chosen to beta test the new DEQX Pre 8 which has a 4 way digital crossover you can program to do whatever you want. It has complete bass mana... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @paulrandall I stated, I thought clearing, that the reference is the face of the driver, not anywhere else. @invalid It makes not difference whether or not you are direct driving ribbon speakers although you have to be careful. The tweeters ... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? @kraftwerkturbo , If you are ready to buy a new sub then No, it makes no sense to repair the old one unless you think you can sell it for more than $500. The Velodyn is old Tech as are all the SVS and Rel subs. The very best designs use two dri... | |
| Working with 78’s @atmasphere @mke246 @europeansoundtrack Pure Vinyl has all the EQ options available at the click of a mouse. All he needs is a 78 RPM Cartridge and Pure Vinyl and he can record any 78 made. | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? @tvrgeek That is lay intuition tv. The speed a woofer can move is indicated by the upper limit of its frequency response. Most 15" subwoofers make it easily to 500 Hz. The transient response of a sub driver has to do with the relationship of its... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @waytoomuchstuff No. With a point source the volume drops at the cube of the distance. With a line source it drops at the square of the distance. Volume drop off is an order of magnitude less. As for height that depends on the frequency. For a d... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? In a room that size you need at least two 12" subs. Highly recommend the Martin Logan Balanced Force 210. There are two 10" drivers in each. Get two of them. They are a much better value than JL subs which are overpriced for what you get. I sugges... |
