| Question about how analog audio recording works @mahgister , adaptation is the key to human survival. What are you driving your headphones with? Triodes seem to be the thing now a days. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @jasonbourne71 , just don't smoke while your doing it:-) Really, what I use is a fine artist brush which I trimmed the bristles back about 1/2 way to make them a bit stiffer. The longer handle makes it easier to use than brushes with short handles... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ricco275 , I think you might have read the Stereophile STR integrated amplifier review. As far as I can tell Stereophile did not review the STR Preamplifier. There are many reviews of it though and most quite complementary. There are a few compla... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ricco275 , let me have a look at the article and I will get back. Harshness is usually easily controlled by attenuating the area between 3 and 4 kHz just a coupld of dB. | |
| Speaker OHM's and AMP question Good news indeed! (with just a little less power) | |
| Add sub to 802D4s? Unless you are willing to add 2 subwoofers and a digital 2 way crossover your friend is absolutely correct. The thump is actually not in the very low bass. Will you be missing anything important without subwoofers? If you like to listen at loude... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) @o_holter , There are still improvements to be made. The current subwoofers which I built 20 years ago have some flabbiness in them that I can hear with acoustic bass. I have just finished construction of four new subwoofers which will fix that pr... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ricco275 DEQX got stung by Covid. They were just getting ready to release the new Pre 4 and Pre 8 so they announced that the old units were discontinued (the Premate series) and then lost the supply of the very new processor they were putting in... | |
| Free air resonance @unreceivedogma , 1+ @mahgister Subwoofer drivers have a long list of characteristics that defines the size and type of enclosure. Both of your drivers might be usable in sealed enclosures and ported enclosures or only in one or the other. Read t... | |
| Where did the term "mono block" originate? I got a pair of Krell KMA 100s back in the early 80s and back then they were just mono amps. The block came after. I cannot say where it originated. They were more squarish than stereo amps and instead of putting them in cabinets we stuck them on ... | |
| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense @tablejockey 1++ Your weak link is the tonearm. That should be the first item on your list and that makes three of us with that opinion. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" I think an alcohol is a very important part of a proper record cleaning formula. I do not care for ultrasonic cleaning. It is messy, inconvenient and of questionable effectiveness. However, I do not think a 25% mixture of any alcohol in water is e... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @whart , Overall I agree with you. However, it is important for knowledgeable people to point out errors when they see or hear them. Avoiding errors is a very important part of the learning process. am extremely good at making them. For me the le... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) @bigtwin Thank You! @o_holter If you look at my system page you will see two computer fans behind each amp. Each pair has an L pad to control speed. At full tilt I can hear them above in the media room. The 12 volt power supply that runs the fans... | |
| High end speakers at low volume @ricco275 , The Anthem STR is an excellent value. It is well made and offers most of the digital flexibility needed to adjust your system exactly the way you want it. When we only had analog equipment, no tone controls was the standard because ana... |
