| Crossover issue. Why not DIY? I did with mine. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 The last 4 pictures show the crossovers. Simply replace everything you have now with same value parts. Resistors and caps have their values printed on them. Inductors sometime... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? Ballpark $100 per Pod. They are priced higher https://www.audiogon.com/products/townshend-audio-seismic-isolation-pods but call and order direct from John Hannant he will give you better pricing. They like to recommend four per component, but I us... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? Really good bass always was pretty much impossible to achieve. People came up with all sorts of solutions. Do a search, with enormous horns and speakers built into walls there are people pretty much turned their whole house into a subwoofer. I hea... | |
| American Audio Back when I first started replacing my vintage stereo with real high end it was a bit of a surprise to realize how much of it was made in the USA. California Audio Labs, McCormack, Synergistic Research, Black Diamond Racing, Graham Engineering, Ba... | |
| Audio: what took so long ? Don't feel bad, most threads are shot-gun affairs. If a stray pellet hits a target somewhere call it good. The way it starts, "what took so long" and all the rest sounds like you just could us a little more perspective. Plenty of people were doing... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread What you said earlier was when looking at the IEC with ground below the fuse (power) goes R to L. That works with mine on everything I have tried so far. | |
| Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone? I’m no Linn fan, but even so they are fine tables and that is unfair, and off-topic. Please delete. Thanks! | |
| Dedicated power to audio system—how extreme to go? My pleasure. | |
| TT rumble versus "oscillation": what's the difference? Oscillation is any back and forth. What you describe is usually called woofer pumping. The drivers move back and forth, sometimes a lot, but at such a low frequency you don't hear it. Doesn't hurt anything but it does waste amplifier power. Rumble... | |
| Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone? Haven't tried those exact ones for Linn, but I have used a couple tone arms, turntable, mat, belt, cartridge enabler and record weight. If the Linn upgrades are anything like those they will be well worth the money. I would suggest try the belt, m... | |
| Dedicated power to audio system—how extreme to go? My listening room is a remodel from about 1991. My electrician father in law insisted there is no reason for a separate circuit or line and so the room was initially wired just like yours. Then over the years I have redone it a couple different ti... | |
| Heat You are right about heat being generated internally. From there it flows into other things such as the heat sinks by a process of conduction. When you put a spoon in a cup of hot tea and the handle starts to get warm this is conduction. So the amp... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? Not surprised. If you're ever in the Seattle area come check it out. | |
| DIY concrete stands My turntable rack is solid cast concrete. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 The hardest part was making the mold with curves so it doesn't look like concrete. The thing about concrete, it is massive and stiff but not very well damped. So i... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? One of the beautiful things about multiple subs, the more subs the less the room matters, and the less it matters where in the room the subs go. It really is a rather pointless time waster to measure room modes. Basically, every time you move the ... |
