| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna I would sure give it a try femoore12. Just so everyone knows, I do NOT use valves to run bass. 300hz and down is SS. 80hz and below is normally GR OB servo subs 100-300hz is direct coupled to 12k class Ds and 6, 8" mid bass drivers per column an... | |
| Damaged Driver I can't count the number of times I've fixed dented dust caps for a simple repair or a stressed out buddy.. Tape or a vacuum cleaner for the easy ones and a dental pick for the real bad ones. A tiny pic hole, pull out the dents and then a tiny dab... | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? You are one irritating person tsushima. Just like a fly.. SHUT UP.. Learn some manners.. Do you EVER offer insight vs insult? The need for an ignore button is lookin' better all the time.. Mercy.. Absolutly no friggen regards. | |
| Nobsound springs - load range Yes you are looking for even compression on all spring pods. You can use a level too you know.. Just like a fence post.. I woulds also make sure the top, bottom and springs are completely installed.. The springs can get hung in the bore a little..... | |
| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna Here is something I would try if I used horns, I don’t. Not because I don’t like them. I just had to make a choice on what I was going to use. I went with domes 50 years ago and small planars/ribbons 30+ years ago. I haven’t tried a bridged Mac... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses andypandy 35 posts 11-20-2021 4:57pm Do you think Houdini got patents? He was an illusionist, just the "properties" of these fuses are made out to be by some here. That’s why there’s no chance in hell of one being granted to one of these... | |
| Can one use assymetric wire gauge for speaker cable construction? Shielding can sure kill the sound of a speaker IC. I'm prone to mini solid core individually insulated with teflon and then a weave 8-24 strands, I like ribbons too. Actually one of my favorites is the combination of the two, The weave is OCC with... | |
| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna Yea, just not with 240s in parallel or in series, you can run the 240 and 275 EITHER way. A MC275 were made for Klipsch Honestly a MC240 stacked is for PA, it will run the speakers just fine, they just won’t be the sweet sound of a MC240. They are... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps I like Macs most of them.. I love the older C11,20,22 or the MX110z they are all wonderful when restored or not, depends.. I really like some of the SS pres . C45, MX120, 121, and 150. I like my C2500 too, what a nice preamp.. Macs are simple to ... | |
| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna It’s pretty simple, NONE of the Macs sound worth a crap in Mono, Even built to be just mono. I tried a few times with mods and a few different thing. Nothing could get close to the sound of a Samra MC240 in dual mono or stereo mode. The problem I... | |
| Amp hum. What willgolf said, simple. Unplug and plug the valves back in, TOO. Same with your connections. Unplug and plug ALL the way back in.. Just 101 service.. Easy and quick. ZERO dollars, too. Move the valves left to right one at a time you’ll figure ... | |
| Great experience with audio society and local tech Same in the Bay Area. There are groups you literally have to be referred to get an audience. Then, there is a vetting process by the rest of the group. Some are very nice some are pure eitist. If you don’t have anything to offer and just want to ... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like So OP, a tune like "Havans" by Camilla Cabello, you don't tap your foot? Mercy when I put on Salsa me and the mail lady will dance for 15 minutes on her lunch break. We don't mess around amigo, and I'm American Irish/Welch kid. I'm a dancin' Bapt... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass musicaddict 173 posts 11-21-2021 12:14pm First Velodyne F-1800MkII in southern CO in the 90s was to me. I've had plenty of subs since, some RELs and now some SVS sealed (additional subs, sell nothing!) <<<<<<<<<<&... | |
| Subwoofer cable question SVS is a great sub.. A lot better design.. Go for it.. front ports or IB (no port). Better choice for sure.. Regards.. |
