| Another room treatment convert Thanks for the link about the superchunks. Somebody mentioned these before and I misunderstood the concept. Looks like a good, practical, broadband design. Might not absorb low enough for room standing waves, which are typically 30-90 Hz and nearl... | |
| Another room treatment convert Probably, most rooms and setups could be better with proper accoustic treatment. Forums like this spread the know. How ya gonna do the DIY bass traps? | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Please, call an electrician before starting. | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? I'm assuming that you're in US/Canada, in which case there would be two hots at 120V each. These are out of phase and are cumulative to 240V, but they can NOT be combined together without a load. That would be a short.It can be cheated by putting ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Drubin, it's probably because your source doubles output voltage into balanced. My CDP, for example, puts out 2.1V into RCA and 4.2V into XLR. You might be comparing to non-differential preamps. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players I had no intention to belittle the effort or sincerity. Without disclosure of the rest of the system (better but impractical, would have been two or three different systems) and the participants in the test and some idea of their own systems to gu... | |
| How big a room for Dunlavy SC-V? I've had speakers as big as those in similar sized rooms and it's not optimal but it's not bad either. Some bass traps that can dig deep, like Realtraps, helps a lot. The problem is the same with most speakers, getting away from the walls and far ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Call me a skeptic, or whatever you wish, but the little hairs on the back of my neck tingle when something reads like an advertisement. | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1146682440&openusid&zzNgjockey&4&5#Ngjockey | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them The midrange might not be blown. The domes clear up after being heated. In fact, if you CAREFULLY use a hair dryer on them, the yellow will disappear. I think I origionally recommended a pair of Carver Pro 1600's and I'll stick to that.You're sing... | |
| Plinius 9200 or separates? I would never accuse the Plinius of being 2D, it's more like sitting 20 rows back at a concert. Actually, I prefer that vantage because of the stability of the imaging. Many people prefer front row center. As matanoosh said, "it's simply a matter ... | |
| Attenuator recommendations It occurs to me that all you need is resistors in male/female adaptors. How's your soldering? You might start with 3 KOhm and see if that works. To give you an idea of the rating, P=V^2/R, so 1 watt would be more than enough. If you can find Visha... | |
| Attenuator recommendations You might want to get in touch with Marchand Electronics. They have a good selection and can tailor to your needs. The XLR/RCA presents a difficulty because to be fully balanced means double the components. On the other hand, TVC's don't care abou... | |
| Bridged amp with electrostatics.. I can't see how it would be possible to bridge an integrated amp like the KW550. | |
| Bridged amp with electrostatics.. Depends on the amps and the speakers. I use bridged Plinius SA100's into 4 ohm planar ribbon mids/tweeters but that load is purely resistive. These amps were designed to be bridged, unlike many others. Stats are differerent in that there is a tran... |
