| audiodesk pro All ultrasonic cleaners work just fine with water. The vast majority of the cleaning is ultrasonic agitation. Cleaning solution does help, but a lot of what it does is to hold whatever dirt is removed in suspension so its easier to remove and does... | |
| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics my signature is flat to the last band on the eleven band analog bass EQ with a Q of .72, unless I am listening to Steely Dan: Two Against Nature, then i tweak it back a whisker.... Teachable moment: flat is relative because human beings don't m... | |
| Setting up a swarm - amp question Right. All powered subs, the way the speaker level input works, the first part of the circuit is a resistor, typically about 10 k Ohm, that drops the speaker level voltage down to line level. So the additional load on the amp is negligible.I had t... | |
| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? The one thing I learned over the years is to look for value. Especially when on a budget, the last thing you can afford to do is buy anything that doesn't really get you where you want to be. Which is why I say, forget multi-channel, and especiall... | |
| is it possible to connect a subwoofer to Crown XLS amps? huh? can I not share the speaker level connections with either an REL sub or another sub that accepts high level? Yes. You can. Sorry, don’t know why people are making this so hard for you. If the sub accepts line level and you have a line out the... | |
| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics kenjit:There is no speaker design. That's why we have such a large number of speakers out there. Nobody knows what they're doing. There is no automotive design. That's why we have such a large number of cars out there. Nobody knows what they're do... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? Physics. Not the high point of a public school education, I'm guessing.In order to even begin to answer the question it helps to first understand the question. Which really is, "How could broadcasting 7.83 Hz radio waves improve the sound of your ... | |
| how important is it to use crossovers when adding subwoofers to a system? One of the main ways a sub improves bass response is by adding additional bass locations. This is the foundation on which a distributed bass array is built. The best solution to the problem of getting really good deep articulate bass in a room. In... | |
| Buying Speakers Based on Specs Specs are all that matters. Absolutely. Anechoic measurement really does tell you everything you need to know about how they'll sound in your room. Just be sure to impedance match, and you are set. Then again might want to check with your wife. Yo... | |
| Random Skips Anti-skate is notoriously imprecise, varies across a side, and even varies (as Mike alludes to above) depending on how much bass energy there is on a track. When it skips, does it always skip to the outside, playing the same bit over and over agai... | |
| What did I hear? v7b9b13, with a really good post asking some of my favorite questions! Trying to make sense of it all: It was a dramatically different sound. It was, for lack of a better word, tremendously more robust. Not loud, but large. Deeper bass. Roun... | |

| Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer If you want the best bass performance in your room, a pair of either of these subs, with both properly positioned, will outperform one of the Tekton 4-10 subs. Probably. But probably not by as much as most "one vs two" comparisons. The reason I... | |
| DIY Cable Supports Beautiful high tech, for sure. When I first heard of this back in the 90’s all the comparisons I made seemed to indicate the main benefit of elevating cables is the reduction of static charges. Because what worked best of everything tried was Cabl... | |
| Will I notice a difference? I've tried sub $1000 dacs like Topping D50 and heard no difference at all. Well there you go then. |
