| Speaker hook up question. Could be. I have usually found the 8ohm taps to be best for most of my speakers, even some 4 ohm ones where the amount of power needed to drive the bass wasn't an issue. My 6 ohm speakers, which have a min impedence of 5 ohms sound much better on ... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Stehno, Just for fun, my answer to your penultimate sentence is floor borne and airborne. Vibrations produced within a component have always done their damage, and except for allowing vibrations at their resonsonce frequencies to pass out to an ab... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Nickway, If you've done the sandbox thing well the sand should be absorbing, and not passing, any vibrations in any direction. But, if I were to do something like that, I would probably use some medium soft rubber product and spread it over a broa... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Nickway, FWIW, I have achieved the best results in DIY isolation products for components and turntables, much the same way as you have, by using a sandwich of materiels, usually a soft wood and a medium density foam product. What I use depends on ... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Pbb, What I'm actually saying is that I feel that there is no need to debase someone else's beliefs. Other than some ego satisfaction you might gain, it serves no purpose.Personally, I would feel just as comfortible saying "based on my experience ... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Pbb, Why do you care about what others worry about. Seems like it would be more fun for you just to listen to more music? :-) | |
| speaker stand height for "floor seating" usage..? Conventional wisdom about speaker height is "tweeter at ear level", however with speakers that are intended to be heard well above the floor you might get too much upper bass reinforcement from the floor if you get them too low. You're just going ... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? Dave, I've had the BAT for about 7 years and other than getting the transport/laser overhauled at year 5, its been an excellent unit mechanically. As with all things which have tubes, tube selection makes a difference. I've never bought into the u... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I was just reflecting on my post about buying speakers unheard. I should add that I am much more reluctant to purchase source components on line unheard, and when I purchase a speaker I have no expectations of it being a perfect match to my amp. P... | |
| Jolida JD100 on the way ecool, I highly endorse the EI's Stevecham commented on, however they have had a bit of a QC problem so be sure to buy from a reputible dealer and buy ones which have been tested for microphonics (usually this is done in the matching process, as i... | |
| Review: Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors Monitor Nice review. Sounds much as I have experienced with the Linbrook line. Do you listen to them off the 4 ohm taps or the 8 ohm taps? Have you tried each? Do you listen with the grills on or off? Have you noticed a difference in the uppermid range wi... | |
| Magnum Dynalab 106T with poor reception...Help The FM signal is line of sight type transmission. Hills between the transmitter and your antenna will effect the signal. Reflecting surfaces can cause multipath distortion (getting the signal from two different directions, for example one direct a... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I've bought two pairs w/out listening first but I did a huge amount of research first. Both have proven to be excellent, though sonically different, speakers. Neither had a lot of raves from the crowd and both were by small makers. Probably just l... | |
| Are expensive cables worth it? You are not crazy at all. Unless you are in need of some tone controls (frequency bending cables) the differences between quality cables and IC's should be and are very subtle, where as the choice of speakers & amp are anything but subtle. I a... | |
| Thoughts about these forums Jadem6, I'd love to say "welcome back" but I didn't know you were gone! :-) I'm a relative newbie here. So much has been said, by you and others, about civility it's almost pasee to mention it again. But, in my view civility in talking with other ... |
