| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @neonknight Excellent, 48dB/Oct right? Linkwitz-Riley preferred. Pick a piece with an acoustic bass solo. Play at the right volume, as if the bass were right in front of you and compare. Then play a rock piece that does not have any synthesizer ... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @lewm , Ok Lew, All I can tell you is what you get rid of when using subwoofers under ESLs does not sound like typical IM or harmonic distortion and it is most definitely modulated by the bass. If this is not Doppler distortion then perhaps you c... | |
| New phono stage from SOTA @wynpalmer4 Now stick the Pyxi in the Acrux box and send both the Pyxi and the Acrux Pyxi to a reviewer of high astute. 😈 And, will you please get on Christan and Donna. They are supposed to be designing a tonearm. | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? @mahgister That depends more on the listener than the equipment and the variation is so wide there is no reliable answer. You would have to ask 10,000 random people and analyze the results. | |
| SPL Surprise! This is one of the problems with point source speakers. If you go line source the problem diminishes by an order of magnitude. | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @lewm , It is not a theory and there is nothing to debate. It is much less of a problem for two and three way speaker systems because the bass driver's range is limited. It is a huge problem for our ESLs because they are full range. It is extreme... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @johnlnyc OK, the question is why? Is the sound more to your liking or is the environment in the living room more to your liking, more comfortable. I spend most of my listening hours in the shop on a mid fi secondary system streaming from the ... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I also forgot to mention that the Trinnov is trying to make the bass (350 Hz down) reasonably flat. Is is driving the MLs harder at frequencies where the level is not sufficient making the excursion problem much worse. It is also robbing you of po... | |
| Dedicated line (almost) If the switches are off there is no current flow through that section of line giving you a dedicated line. Whether or not dedicated lines are an advantage depends mostly on the amount of power you have to draw. Most systems will do just fine on a... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @neonknight Excellent. Remember, any change you make will require taking new room control measurements. You will need to do this for both crossover points then you store both of them in presets.(I think?) This is a PITA but it is the nature of t... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @neonknight Sorry, but that is not true. ESLs will move their diaphragms in an attempt to make bass and if you take a very near field measurement they would seem to be very accurate... until you move away from the speaker. Because they are dipol... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? @dabel I use the 690 in various bases depending on the mission. My Plunge router is a 7539 and I use a 75182 in a router table configuration. I also have a 10 hp 3 phase SCMI spindle molder and the scars to prove it. I use the 303 1/4 sheet sand... | |
| New phono stage from SOTA @rauliruegas winning or losing has nothing to do with it Raul. This is a conversation trying to determine the way things work on a rational basis. We are forced into making assumptions about certain things. That humans can sense sound by mechani... | |
| ELEMENTS THAT AUDIOPHILE SPEAKERS REQUIRE @mahgister 1+ You can not consider the sound quality of a speaker without taking the room into account. They are two parts of the same transducer. It is relatively easy to assess build quality. Certainly, the amp and speakers have to be matched... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @tvrgeek , That is a statement only an inexperienced person can make. I do not mean that as a negative. People who experience a system with a processor like the Trinnov Amethyst in place are, to a person, blown away by the improvement in sound qu... |
