| Speaker mod companies? Forgot to mention Raw Acoustics in Surrey. Makes speakers and DIY kits. Would be interesting what he can do without his usual budget. He's got a web site. | |
| Speaker mod companies? From what I understand, Art has options and signature series on most of it's models. If you don't have the signature version, it wouldn't be too difficult to upgrade to the same value Jensen caps. Probably SOL on the exact Jensen film inductors. S... | |
| Stepped Attenuator to replace Potentiometer. You caught me. Not the single-ended I meant. Single-ended as opposed to balanced or differential circuitry. Neither RCA's or XLR's in and out are necessarily a true indication.This kind of application stuff, is more critical than the printed rating. | |
| Your last speaker? Probably not the last, but it's all downgrade from here. | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Seems to me like Kurt is a candidate for some Selah line arrays with lots of ribbon tweeters. No affiliation. In fact, I've never even heard them but I know they'll handle SPL's and dynamics beyond his imagination. If you want concert bass with th... | |
| VDC at a tube preamp's output The other option is a transformer, like Jensen, which Rowland used. | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Not necessarily. I've had 100W that kicked heavyweight amp, so to speak, and I've had 100W that barely tickled the woofers.Your basically correct but... there are just too many buts. | |
| Stands for bass traps You might be nitting picks there. Bass is not that directional and reflections aren't that straight forward. I've hung membrane traps in the ceiling corners, like angled soffits. Placement is not as critical as you might think for this type of tra... | |
| Stepped Attenuator to replace Potentiometer. Just to confuse you some more...IAG used to carry Sowter based mono TVC attenuators. Input impedance was way off at 30K but offers galvanic isolation and conversion between balanced/SE. Impedance can be raised with series resistors, on each leg if... | |
| Stands for bass traps Those are very nice. Unfortunately membrane traps should be mounted rigidly. You don't want the frames vibrating instead of the membranes. | |
| most effective bass traps The ones in the corners.Depends on the frequencies you want to trap. Although I'm skeptical of their product claims to go as deep as they state, I'm in no position to argue. The methods of measuring sabines for an individual trap have little to do... | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' "Blown off the stage" is too strong but a couple years ago Susan Tedeschi followed by Koko Taylor and Buddy Guy. Buddy is still an amazing guitarist but they both brought Susan back on stage for duets and virtually passed the torch.The oddest doub... | |
| Stepped Attenuator to replace Potentiometer. Marchand can make custom attenuators. More expensive than DACT but at least worth an email. The DACT is series, as opposed to ladder, if I remember correctly. Size might be an issue as well. Goldpoint could be another option (goldpt.com). I have n... | |
| Bass issues,,,,will new speaker help? Checked out the system pics. Nice. Very capable.That side wall is panelling, right? You can fur that out 3-4", only supporting and nailing it at the edges of each sheet and place 2" 703/705 behind it. Rock wool with a burlap/cotton sheet to retain... | |
| Speakers and depth... There are a lot of things that affect percieved depth: speaker choice and design, amps, sources, placement and room.I've got a friend who comes over and likes to toe-in my speakers for his taste but I prefer them with no toe-in because I want a la... |
