| Repair my Sony CDP 608 ESD? "I have a very clean Sony 608 ESD, I bought it brand new in 1986. So I can not complain that it has been a good sounding and flawless performing player all these 29 years."That is good run. My Cary CDP went 10 years before replacing the laser. Not... | |
| Request for assistance please room treatment I have gone so far as to reading Master Handbook of Acoustics, watching lectures and doing room measurements. For the novice, like you and me, it takes trial and error. The initial big deal seems like speaker positioning, then addition of acoustic... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Tough room. D/C the sub. Then experiment with speaker position. Some panel treatment will help with high frequencies but very difficult to control room modes. I've had a small room in the past. I would rather have good headphones than wrestle with... | |
| JBL Project K2 S9900 Speakers Anyone Know ??? What happened to preferring the perspective of a 2-way?Changing your mind is okay if you know why. I think 2-way is generally an inferior design to multiway myself, but a three-way horn/hybrid is really different from the others. Can't just plot o... | |
| 2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia "When I added JLaudio subs Xed over at 35, perfection. "I asked GTT audio at Axpona about adding a subwoofer. They didn't care for the idea. I'm paraphrasing that they generally did not like the idea of contaminating the make-up of the speakers (i... | |
| How important is a good rack? "I'd be very interested to hear accounts of people doing serious ABs comparing a "merely competent" rack (say like my homebrew rod and block) with a SOTA rack, say like a Finite Elemente, which costs 10 times more."I went from Flexy to ikea lack t... | |
| How important is a good rack? I found the difference to be night and day. I had now idea how bad my first two racks were until I tried a better one. No turntable here, but the difference had nothing to do with rigidity of the frame. The worse one was more rigid. The better one... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Just thought. Line sources are more efficient as distance, dropping -3db at double distance rather than -6db for point source speakers. The guy/girl in the back row can enjoy. "Or am I barking up the wrong tree?"Some designers also attend to the c... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? I also like Marty's post. Another advantage is there are no cabinet colorations caused by resonance and reflections.Small panels have less bass and often employ a dynamic driver that is difficult to integrate in to the sound of the panel. Although... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Do not forget to send the screws for immersion cryo, not the spray-on. | |
| Dynamic speakers High efficiency and dynamic are different. Daedulus, Volti and Sonist are some brands I just heard. All good. Volti is very dynamic. Sonist is dynamic and less expensive. | |
| Paradigm whole studio system Just look for obvious external damage of the drivers and cabinets. Listen to them. If they look and sound fine, then they are okay. See if the seller has original box, manual or receipt. I like to know how old they are. | |
| Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015 Hey Duke,I listened the rhythm prisms in a subcompact room here in Dallas a few years ago and am a fan of your posts and work. Looking forward to hearing your new speakers. I'm sure the Essential Audio room at Axpona will be a good place to hear t... | |
| Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015 Cool, I'm putting Essential audio on my priority list. Best room last year, using a Sound Lab rig. | |
