| The Belle Klipsch Project – Thank you! Absolutely, between the crossovers and the doghouses, as I mentioned above. I miss my vinyl, for sure, but I was in it at such a high investment already, and still, always heard imperfections in the vinyl playback, it drove me nuts. Enjoy and be w... | |
| The Belle Klipsch Project – Thank you! Yes, put as much Dynamat ( equally between pairs ) as you can, on the horns ( tweeters, woofer frames and between the crossovers and doghouses. ). Another area to improve, is to dampen the " bracket " at the driver end of the mid horn ( when music... | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) I own in my collection, an RGR model 3 and a model 4 ( I had several RGRs, but sold those ). These sound, imo, very tube like. I did some mods on them, and for an inexpensive preamp ( sold for around $900 when they became available ), a good unit.... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Giving this some more thought ( not a whole lot, mind you ), adding upgraded power cables ( significant ime ), and moving the listening chair to a " near field " one, with re-positioning the main speakers, would be improvements. | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? 1st, your room is the " busiest " room I have ever seen, and I have seen / been in / listened in, all kinds of rooms. Given you are restricted / preferred to combining 2 channel with home theater in one room, and you are pretty much enjoying what ... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? The truth is folks, fuses in general, are bad for sound. They limit current, and are a band aid for the purpose of the protection of gear. This is the fact. As theaudiotweak pointed out with transformers, they produce mechanical vibration ( and ot... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? @danvignau , Speakers or no speakers, amp chassis' have vibration and resonance, Do as I suggested, and live with it a while. You ears will tell you the truth. Do all of the fuses....I have my predictions...... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? I believe in fuses, but because you have a lot to change, this is what I recommend. Better fuses have superior electrical characteristics as well as superior mechanical characteristics ( ime ). Before spending any money, do this : Remove each fuse... | |
| High end Class D amps? @noble100 , I do not have any photos of equipment listed here under myself, so you must have mistakenly, someone else in mind. I have a chip amp ( gainclone ) on it’s way to me, and I am still interested in trying Class D. I do not pay attention t... | |
| High end Class D amps? @atmasphere, I have not heard a recent Class D amp in my home, as of this time. What I have heard was not to my liking. I have tried a few " T " amps ( chip amps, for those who might not know ), and although was surprised, not to my liking. I woul... | |
| High end Class D amps? @speakermaster, I have many of those amps you speak of. I want to try Class D, and judge for myself. | |
| High end Class D amps? George, I totally agree | |
| High end Class D amps? So, in a nutshell....I want to try a Class D amp. I am looking for 1, that can do all of the best things, tubes and solid state, do wonderfully ( I would say we all want this ). Black background, dynamic, fast and well tempo'd, neutral in tone, no... | |
| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... BTW, I switch out ( rotate ) amplifiers the way folks switch out tubes. | |
| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... I know how luscious tubes can sound, but give me good, clean, fast, noise free, reliable and consistent, class A ss, anytime ( and this is with horns ). Just my opinion, and just what I like. Nothing debatable, listen for yourself, and decide. I o... |
