| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? Good information Eric, but my desire to change the sub's output level is solely related to low level listening, where I enjoy a little more kick - sort of like the loudness controls we used to have on our receivers back in the day. I have decided... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Any user reports on the Sonnet Pasithea (with VC) yet? | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @ieales - Thank you. That is exactly the type of project I was looking for. I would need it to be balanced. The trade-off of course is whether the benefit of relieving the main amp/speakers of reproducing the lowest frequencies is greater than ... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers My subs are also crossed over at about 40Hz but I can immediately tell when they are not turned on, which happens occasionally when I turn them off to insert new wire or make other changes and then forget to turn them back on. Even at 40Hz, they ... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @ieales - Maybe I do not understand. The Vandersteen M7-HP is in fact "an inline filter between pre- and power amps". It has an XLR input and output and is intended to be situated between the preamp and the power amp. The purpose would be to roll... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @ieales It’s simple to add a first order passive HP to roll the lows out of the mains. Are you speaking about a line-level HP filter like the Vandersteen M7-HP High-Pass Filter? If that is so easy or simple, then why does the M7-HP appear to ... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @akg_ca - My understanding is that getting that high pass crossover just right is difficult and can be expensive. The manufacturer of my speakers and subs suggested simply blending in the subs at a low frequency and letting my mains roll-off, whi... | |
| EVS Music Purifier Appears to be a Boucherot cell, a.k.a., Zobel network, which can be used to flatten the impedance curve of a speaker. Ideally, they are designed for the specific speaker drivers and they may already be included in some passive crossovers. If you w... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? Much easier with two than with only one, and also much more noticeable sonic improvement with two. I would like to try three or four. | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? I’d be curious if one disguised a regular old 10 cent fuse as a $2800 one I recently disguised all my fuses and put directional arrows on them and the sound of my system has now been totally transformed! | |
| Cable curmudgeon @cleeds As for those asking others to post their systems, Just for clarity, I am not asking you or anyone else to post their system here but, for those who do, seeing their virtual system usually allows me a better understanding of their vie... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @exflute - You are correct, you did kick an ever-present hornet's nest. Its all good when people share their personal experiences but things tend to go off the rails when people try and tell others what they should be hearing or make collective j... | |
| Shielded cable between pre and SET amp Two good responses so far. IME, hum is typically grounding. If it is shielding, then the Partsconnexion link Eric provided includes shielded selections. Your other option would be to add a shield to your existing cables. Purchase and add the a... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers About 1:1 at around $11K/pair each, which includes the price of their dedicated Sound Anchor stands. | |
| Proac SM100 speaker stand? I also support the recommendations for Sound Anchor stands and have used them under speakers, amps, and electronics for years. Target’s literature says; Target Audio Products Stands are 100% thick steel, substantially heavier and of vastly more ... |
