| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers Dcaudio, what did you decide to do? Did you upgrade anything? | |
| What are the best quality speakers for under $500? Dahlquist DQ-20 and DQ-10. | |
| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers You can spend a small fortune on capacitors and not achieve much. If you're looking for a dramatic change in sound, you should look elsewhere. If you're looking for a fun project to learn something new, then I highly recommend digging in. Remember... | |
| new to tubes I'm late to this thread, but wanted to ask what brand of KT88 people like the most. I'm sure each brand has a different sound. | |
| I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope The constant need to upgrade doesn't seem rooted in sound quality. If you've been in this hobby for a couple of years, I bet your system is already very good. For many of us, upgrading seems like an addiction driven by perfectionism. Aren't we all... | |
| wright sound company, step up wmt100 Jim, can you point me to the specific step-up you use with your DL-103? A link would be great. What's the boost ratio? I'm not familiar with Cinemag. I'm comfortable with DIY projects, but the more I read, the less I want to guess about which SUT ... | |
| wright sound company, step up wmt100 Jim, I just picked up a WPP100 and I'm using it without a step-up. Even before the needle hits the vinyl, I hear more hiss than what I think is normal. It sounds like low level radio static -- as though I have a tuner keyed into an empty station. ... | |
| Phono stage with gain control? Tvad, how does the WPP200C compare to the Lehmann Black Cube? If I remember correctly from other forums, you have one. Ed, do you own the WPP100C? If so, what's your impression? I just picked one up and am waiting for it to arrive. -Mark | |
| wright sound company, step up wmt100 Jazzbeq, I'm curious if you bought the Wright WMT100? What are you using for a phono pre? I'm keenly interested in the Wright Sound WPP200C and will need a step up for my DL-103R. Any info would be appreciated! -Mark | |
| what exactly does a zobel network do? Here's a basic definition from: http://www.trueaudio.com/st_zobel.htmA Zobel is a series resistor-capacitor (R-C) network that is connected in parallel with a loudspeaker driver in order to neutralize the effects of the drivers voice coil inducta... | |
| Upgrade advice needed Tim, I've heard the Arro and Sttaf. They both cast realistic sound images and manage to do something most affordable speakers can't - they disappear. Whatever Totem is doing, they're doing it right. If I were looking for speakers in the $700 range... | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener If you haven't heard the Totem Mani-2, you owe it to yourself to hear them. These little guys not only disappear, but have a powerful low end. With dual 6.5 inch woofers configured in a push/pull Isobaric fashion, extension gets down to 30 Hz. The... | |
| Turn on amp w/o speakers Be very careful with NuForce amps. Powering up without the speakers connected (or some sort of resistive load) will burn up internal components. I know people who have had this happen. | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer Jcfergus, thank you for this useful information. What are the dimensions of your listening room in feet, and at what frequencies does it have bass peaks? Do your speakers boom without an EQ? | |
| Room modes are hijacking my music I stumbled upon a nice review of the Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rprea&1107728225It does exactly what I'm looking for. My question: can an RTA equalizer be isolated to the LF signal if you're biamping? O... |
