| speakers and cables That's a good cartridge. Also looking for a new one myself, going to get a Sumiko one. Other then buying new music, it's amazing how much money we can spend on all the little things. Also trying to sort out footers on my gear, so many choices! Do... | |
| Marantz 3300 - Fanboy issues, buyer beware..... Think so many people miss the point of vintage gear. Audio brings emotion. Marantz is as much art/decor as sound. Many people are building up system that attain a certain look, with sound being a byproduct. yes, lots of new things might sound be... | |
| speakers and cables Think the subs are wired up correctly for what you have. The filters will help. You can try to move the subs out next to the mains, or even (gasp) stack them. In your room, stacking might help. Can you use your turntable with the sub right there... | |
| Power consuption of an amplifier You all are getting so far into the weeds with this. Just looked up the Amp, it's a 150w class A/B made in France, after reading the manual, it states max power consumption is 185w, so it is a very efficient amp, almost class D like. manual If... | |
| Power consuption of an amplifier Most components will tell you on the back what the power draw is. This has nothing to do with Watt output for speakers. If it says it's 400w, then you should get a at least a 600w converter. What is being missed is, this is MAX power draw, not ... | |
| speakers and cables so the High-pass RCA link is the simplest, it's a plug that has the filter inside? All the signal that comes out of it is above 100Hz? Reading the reviews, it's simple and effective. Yes, that is what it does, blocks everything below 100hz. Jus... | |
| speakers and cables LOL, knew I opened up a can-o-worms. There are of course several ways to do this..... Using RCA cables, they make filters that attach right to the end of the cable, then go into the amp. They also make ones that go on the speakers these would... | |
| speakers and cables @grislybutter Yes, confusing. Normal sub cutoff is 60-100 hertz, your mains go down to 40, and the lowest your subs can cut is 80, maybe try 100? There maybe a variable lowpass XO out there for you, that way you can dial it in. One sub can wor... | |
| speakers and cables This is becoming the most consisting thread. Your 2 subs start at 80 Your Mains go down to 40. Why did you get 2 subs in the first place? Your bass is going to be muddy, that is a lot of overlap. Might need to put a low pass filter on the mai... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery Basically, you remove the fuse from each component, or all the fuses in the component. Then add the slug into the fuse holders. All fuses are not solid slugs. Then you add the circuit breaker/fuse to the power cord of each component, and you hav... | |
| speakers and cables I ended up with this, it has more (too much) bass for sure but I will play with it, check the phases as advised above and figure out the right settings. It did push me to dislike my amp as it has connection issues, I almost have to hit it with a... | |
| speakers and cables @mswale , if OP hooked up to both of his subs from amp + to + and - to -, and then he went from his subs to his speakers in the same manner (+ to + and - to -) is there any reason that his subs (or speakers) would be out of phase with each other?... | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? Never lost a playlist, but have had music disappear, the service stops streaming that artist. For me, if it something that I really like, or is important, I buy it. What bugs me with streaming is that they are always changing something. Tidal h... | |
| Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers? Just starting to use footers myself. Started with my TT, that has 3. From what I have been reading (lots of white papers, feel like I'm back in school) the number of footers doesn't matter much, or really what you use. What matters most is that ... | |
| speakers and cables Might not be the smartest guy in the room, I don't understand why this is so difficult. You have 1 amp, 2 subs and 2 speakers. You are going to be using line level inputs on the subs. You have L/R subs Amp has L/R outputs There are L/R speak... |
