| ARC SP16 vs SP8 I have an SP16 in my system and I can assure you that imaging is not an issue. I have not heard the SP8 so I can't say whether it would be an upgrade.I can say that one the biggest upgrades I made was the purchase of my Benz glider. Again I can't ... | |
| New tube problems - need help I switched tubes and the problem remains with the amps.I did check the fuse and changed the fuse before installing the new tubes. It was fried after I shorted the tube.Initially when I first shorted the tube, I contacted Quicksilver. They confirme... | |

| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Is the noise floor system dependent? or is it directly the sum of the noise floor of the individual components? | |
| Strangest problem I've ever had It's sounds like you hit your cable with a nail or dry-wall screw when you were patching things up. | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 Thanks Al for the great explanation | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 May I hijack this thread for a few post? I would like to pick Al's brain, I hope to the benefit of all.Most speakers do not have similarly flat impedance magnitudes, and most speakers have impedance phase angles that reach considerably negative va... | |
| below 100hz, do speaker cables matter? Al agreed!Douglas, at negative hertz values you can use imaginary cables "i cables" | |
| below 100hz, do speaker cables matter? Al, it seems I am still a little confused on the issue.If inductance has a neglible effect at low frequencies due to its proportionality to frequency. Then the slight correction, is no longer slight. The op sates "outside of cable gauge", or in ot... | |
| below 100hz, do speaker cables matter? Yes, more than for other frequencies in most cases.My argument lies with voltage divider effect, eloquently explained by Al (Almarg) in this thread http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1336159920&openflup&3&4#3Given that m... | |
| Owens Corning 703 Good luck with completion of the project. I hope you post some pics in your system page when it's done. | |
| Owens Corning 703 Try rock wool instead of fiber glass, products such as Roxul Safe n'Sound. The rock wool is less of an iretant than fiberglass.As for facing materials, for my bass traps I bought fabric from Ikea and used it to cover the Roxul. Just be sure that t... |
