| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? mofimadness, a man who clearly has ears and knows how to use them, writes: I knew DJ. Very intelligent and creative. I use BDR products all over my system.I’ve tried just about everything out there over the past 40 years and the BDR stuff is proba... | |
| Anyone have this turntable issue? It seems to be the stylus entering the groove. Right. | |
| Point source vs line source? A point source is one. Ideally one driver, but could be co-axial. Whatever. The idea is all the sound radiates out from one location.Line source is what it sounds like too- a ribbon is a line source. In this case the sound radiates out from the line. | |
| Amp Configuration SS or biamp Tube + SS Try and find a McCormack DNA-1. Even better, one from SMC. | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? Every single component in my system is on Cones. Everything but the speakers are on the Shelf. With Cones and Those Things. Speakers on Cones with Pucks. CDP and phono stage each have a small Shelf on top. Still never have heard anything better. D... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs A Y-splitter coming out of the pre-amp to connect the amp and the sub will probably work just fine. Doing it that way the pre-amp will see the input impedance of the sub and amp. Where now it sees only the amp. Should not matter but not knowing an... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs Here is the actual LOC circuit along with a very succinct explanationhttp://www.epanorama.net/circuits/speaker_to_line.htmlStudy it. This is exactly what I did. It was worth it to me to install this circuit- really nothing more than 2 resistors an... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) It’s always nice to read a report such as this from a self-acknowledged cable skeptic. That’s why I dismiss the arguments by those skeptics who simply refuse to listen or experiment. Indeed. I myself grew up with Julian Hirsch and Stereo Review... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs IMO, using high level input connectors offers the best possible integration with your mains speakers. Okay so here's the thing. If you look at the schematic for subs with high level input connectors, the circuit is exactly the same as the LOC d... | |
| DBX SF-150s, should I grab these? Well they are going for over $100 on eBay so worst case you should have no problem getting your $25 back. Never heard em. Just looking at the design though I would pass. They have drivers firing off at an angle left and right. Great if you want a ... | |
| I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase Sorry to hear you're using an AV receiver. Not much your speakers can do until you get something capable of giving them a good signal. Swap that thing out for a decent stereo integrated. Won't even cost you a dime. Sell your surrounds, all the oth... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs rhern213, sorry for the bad advice above. I've actually done this. The simplest solution is a Line Out Converter or LOC https://www.parts-express.com/stinger-sgn111-30-watt-fixed-line-out-converter--268-482This is simply a couple of resistors betw... | |
| Subwoofer Class A/B vs D Power Amplifier Not that there aren't differences, but whatever difference there is pales in comparison with the difference between using just one and using three or four. Whatever the budget, you'll get better results using it to buy four than putting it all int... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Not only do cables make a difference, dep14, but with the right ones the difference is enough that cables are EQUALLY as important as any other component. Two great stumbling blocks stand in the way of realizing this.The first is thinking measurem... | |
