| Microphonic feedback? An extreme case if so, but it could be. Especially if your speakers and amp are not isolated in any way. Townshend Pods under the tube amp will probably be the best solution. Not only eliminate the problem but give a big improvement in clarity and... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO He is also some kind of genius. Brought his Sunfire sub to our audio club one time, gave what seemed like an hour long tech talk on how it works. Resonance, back EMF, locomotives, and more were involved. Just an incredibly fascinating talk. At the... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack A picture's worth a thousand words. Does that make it verbose? https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 | |
| Speaker repair...is it easy? My concern was I've read something years ago that said if you don't get the glue just right the piston action of the cone would be compromised. Voice coil. The voice coil is centered in the voice coil gap, a very narrow gap with tight clearance... | |
| Any real difference in RCA cables quality for sub? If the power cord affects it like that this tells me the Aurender is using batteries to avoid building a more expensive power supply. But if the batteries are connected to AC then all the AC line noise can ride across the batteries same as it ride... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? So when you say it, works for you. When I say it, proselytizing. Right. Got it. Thanks. | |
| Arrangement of components on rack The better approach is an integrated amp to eliminate altogether a whole slew of interconnects, power cords, and Pods- or whatever vibration control devices you are using. Then locate the amp as central and close to speakers as possible to keep yo... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings The original question is based on a profound and yet all too common misperception about high end audio. It is not about making recordings sound good. The very best cost no object system cannot possibly ever make anything sound good. That is a comp... | |
| Quadratic Diffusers Someday someone is gonna figure out how to make one doesn't look like a science project. Until then: HFT. | |
| Balancing sound to sharpen dialogue? That is called dynamic range. THX set the standard 105dB and since almost all movies are mastered to be played back like this and since nobody wants to hear dialog at 105dB it winds up being way down in the mix. You can hear it just fine with a fi... | |
| Low power amps and speaker damage? Beyond extremely coarse. There is nothing in all of audio less significant than the number the volume control points at. Anyone thinks it matters please study carefully the following documentary video clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc | |
| Low power amps and speaker damage? Anyone thinks low power damages speakers try and blow anything with an iPod. Audiophiles. When they aren’t overthinking, they’re over simplifying. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Great job b_limo, doing all the right things one step after another not getting distracted by the nonstop string of irrelevant comments.hilde45, can you explain how you worked through all the math that proves the unsuitability of low sensitivity s... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? 95+dB is really the place to be. But I get flack for even saying 92. That to me is rock bottom. As I suspect you are now really beginning to understand why. Your Raven is an absolutely fantastic amp, but one rendered out of bounds and unsuitable s... | |
