| Adjustable Spring Bass Traps I’ll look I’ve found two types that are adjustable. One of them only does one frequency at a time and takes 6-8 for 2400 CF. That’s a typical 300 foot floor X 8 foot ceiling. A lot of listening rooms are close to that..The second one I found does ... | |
| Adjustable Spring Bass Traps Maybe springs on the French doors will work as a poor mans substitute. Besides they are already there..:-)I'm not trying to "catch it all", BUT I would like to make a dent in the frequencies I'm trying to work with. 45-55, 75-85, 115-125, 250 (?)p... | |
| Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound Funny OP I have 2 MX110z, MX120 and a MX121. My preferred is the MX120, the only reason is the remote. The 110z will just whip the pants off in any of the 2 channel stuff. The 120 though.. a serious 2 channel stereo, it’s ALL Mac.. I’ve found a co... | |
| 30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs? Little long in the tooth for a single ended run. The XLRs will get you there BUT delivering a signal with everything it collects along the way. Does that make good sense? NOW if you had an amp that had balanced inputs. I’ve seen a few RCAs at 20 p... | |
| Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound I read up on your MX170. It doesn't say a WORD about two channel playback.. LOL I'm not quit understanding that BUT that is Mac.. I have a lot of Mac stuff.. Play through and a good Stereo Preamp will go a long ways.. Stick with Mac.. They just wo... | |
| Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound OP you're asking question you need to answer. Is the sound good enough for you? Does it sound good to you? Do you want to make it better for a reason or is money just burning a hole in your pocket? :-)D' Agostino amp? How many channels are you cur... | |
| Blocking Ports on Ported Speakers OP remember restricting the port works both directions on the driver, when you restrict the port the RETURN to center is slower. That literally puts the voice coil in a forward position while receiving the next signal.The better solution might be ... | |
| tweeter control L pad I'm a Mac guy, I'm a L-Pad guy.. simple.. They CAN be a problem usually from NOT using it. I move L-Pads once a month on the gear I'm using. I lube L-pads on stored gear pretty good along with silicone treatment for the foams, before I decommissio... | |

| Decware Line Conditioner - Worth the wait? I picked up a pair of Decware 60 watt MB 13-4 years ago it was 17 weeks THEN..I ordered a ZP3 Phono/Tape preamp November 19 2020. Look at their current build list. David B. that's me. I actually paid 2 weeks before that. That is why my SN is ahe... | |

I'm a Thoren guy, and for rim drives Russcos, Sparta, QRKs..Good to know though.. I think I have a 301 somewhere. 401 was the better of the two. Weird a Zero 1... | |
| Adjustable Spring Bass Traps I've seen subs that double fire. Isobaric, and daisy chained. The active driver on the inside of the chamber is fired out of phase.. They dig pretty DEEP.. Face to Face in an open baffle is pretty impressive too. It's always the same with bass, d... | |
