| Sounds better at home Grimace: I agree with you 100%. Because of the obnoxiously loud and/or unnecessarily amplified 'live' concerts I have decided to put my money on good recordings instead. I can get a number of excellent CDs for the price of one concert. A well bala... | |
| Build Your Own? Built the Linkwitz Lab Orion. That experience prompted me to dare designing and building my own active system for HT. No doubt, the plethora of information available at one's finger tips helped to make it possible. True, crunchin' numbers is only ... | |
| Suckout at 40 hertz...less pricey solutions? Don't be overly concerned with nulls for two reasons. 1) Nulls are almost impossible to fix. 2) Level out the peaks and you've half fixed the nulls. Peaks are much easier to handle. EQ is the obvious way, but before sinking money into that you mig... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Upon closer inspection, enlarged, the right channel of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" does look clipped/compressed. There is no contour to the peaks that is seen on the 1987 version. It'd be interesting to compare with the original tapes, rather t... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Those spectrograms look to be fully modulated, not compressed. If you've even seen one of a compressed file, it's unmistakeable. | |
| Speaker audition: a novice’s journey Sounds like you're off to a good start. Don't apologize for your inexperience. If you regularly listen to live, acoustic music, your ears are well trained. Using the same recordings, as you've mentioned, is the best means for comparison. You are i... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music At your price point, don't consider anything but active speakers. That alone will clear up a lot of the congestion you hear from most speakers. To maintain the best bass definition look at only sealed or open baffle. Avoid large panels unless you'... | |
| Ultimate DIY speaker design? Russ: I *did* preview . . , and still spelled it wrong . . , who's LinkTwitz? | |
| Ultimate DIY speaker design? Second the Linkwitz Lab Orion+. Hands down winner not just for DIY, but compared to any commercial speaker. (BTW it's Seigfried Linktwitz) | |
| anyone using piega speakers? "Revealing," "airy," "fast," usually means elevated mid-treble. That does not translate to bright IF all else is flat. Bright is elevated low-treble or a generally tilted up response through the midrange. Piega gets away with it because everything... | |
| Total spent on music vs equipment? Byegolly: Hat's off to you for spending more on music than equipment!!! I'm at about 50/50, but aim to correct that in time. | |
| anyone using piega speakers? If you have hearing loss in the 5-10 kHz region, you'll love 'em. They don't seem bright until you listen to strings, organ, or brass. They have a measurably elevated mid-treble that makes them sound very "fast." I owned a pair for 2 years. | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? Ryder:What you're hearing is called reality. Sorry you fell for all the hype. Are you thinking about tubes too? | |
| Hertz Meter Reading Device Response to 11 hz does NOT mean you have useful bass (not base) to 11 Hz. That number is probably down by 20 dB, practically inaudible relative to higher frequencies. Are there recordings that go below 20 Hz?Most subwoofers start rolling off at 30... | |
| Amp damping factor? Interesting. I have never read anywhere before this about the relationship between loudness and harmonics 5,7,9, or about sensitivity to these harmonics. Please explain. How are these harmonics enhanced by loop feedback? What are the audible detri... |
