| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Nrenter's recommendation of side placement with inboard tweeters and toe-in was a good one IMHO. still wondering about upgrading the tweeters though, but need to start doing my homework first. | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? when i found my vintage hartley monitors, the crossover was the same, a single cap to an older cone tweeter with the mid-woofer running "wide open." the response of my friend who dabbles in speaker design was "ugh." the new tweeters and crossovers... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? depending on the brand of speaker, i guess the one cap crossover could either be considered "elegant" or "cheap." maybe a little bit of both in this case? | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? midrange clarity improving with break-in. it's faults continue to be eminently forgivable at this price! a fun little speaker, especially enjoyable with acoustic jazz, folk etc. | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? as these speakers break in, they are simply impossible to criticize for the price. to my ear, they offer a surprisingly clear, robust and balanced sound within their 65-20K range. there is of course a degree of opacity compared to my current speak... | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? "perfect sense" parts 1 and 2 from roger waters' "amused to death." likely sums up the coming year as well. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? christmas gifts! 1) richard thompson "front parlour ballads" - stellar, stellar, stellar! 2) cat power "the covers record" - almost as mesmerising as she is in concert 3) dirty three "cinder" - quite good to my ears, i like 'em--chan marshall voca... | |
| Best "P" mount cartridge? if you look on the KAB website, i think they sell a high-quality p-mount (groovemaster?) for their modded technics tables. psychicanimal may chime in at some point, or you may want to contact him directly as i think he is an advocate of this cartr... | |
| What tt 's have you sold after getting a Lenco? Teres 245 with cocobolo base. actually sold it in advance of having a lenco put together. no regrets, not even for a second. just listened to richard thompson's "front parlour ballads"--a quasi-religious experience :-) | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? perhaps some sort of vibration damping for your skull? unwanted resonance of the tympanic bones would conceivably blur fine detail. this was possibly accomplished indirectly by the weights on the shoulders via the trapezius muscle and it's attachm... | |
| bass problem in a sailboat if you want to get the lowest bass from your sailboat, i would recommend the longest fishing line available. or maybe a "sub" woofer? :-) sorry, couldn't resist! happy holidays! | |
| Where are you from this Christmas.. hendersonville (hooterville), north carolina. no snow to drive my new subaru in, but oh well, the stereo in it pretty much sucks....... | |
| Stiffened poly outer sleeves? that's an interesting fact aceto. i certainly didn't mean to offend you in any way if that's what you're conveying. gotta keep a sense of humor in life IMHO. i deal with death regularly in my line of work (three so far this week, sadly), but war i... | |
| Stiffened poly outer sleeves? no offense, but the title of this thread reminds me that i have to buy some condoms.....:-) | |
