| BoenickeAudio's "unique" wood speaker driver? FWIW, I use the Tang Band 3” bamboo cone full range in my front loaded DIY horns-it’s quite the driver from about 700 Hz on up. | |
| 'Short' horns Also, look at the Cessaro Wagner l- that’s a pretty good example of a LeCleach horn at the top. It’s smaller- I had a woodturner here in Chicago turn a pair for me, with a full range driver from around 700 Hz to 20 kHz the sound is pretty stunnin... | |
| 'Short' horns I do quite a bit of DIY. Right now I’m listening to a pair of 2 way speakers with a 6.5” woofer and a 3” wide-range driver mounted in an 11” diameter turned maple horn. Design is similar to the Viking Acoustics Berlin. To my ears, the sound is ... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. @erik_squires Two-way is much easier. Don’t post here much, but I do a lot of DIY speaker building. The Jantzen Alumen Z are very neutral and pretty reasonable cost for the sound quality they provide. | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal Has anyone figured out how to add Amazon HD to their Bluesound node 2? “Add Service” just results in Amazon music. | |
| Anyone Damp the insides of your Speaker Cabinets? I diy’d my speakers-bass reflex and a front loaded horn. Generally, with a ported design I line the walls with .5” wool felt pad and avoid stuffing the enclosure. A sealed design usually utilizes stuffing. Transmission line designs use a very s... | |
| Nuforce STA200 With my current speakers at 89dB, it rarely ever gets even warm, and I can’t go beyond a quarter turn with my passive pre amp before it gets uncomfortably loud. Not sure if that translates into having the headroom for a driver that’s 84dB. I kno... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Had my amp for about a year now, no issues, great sound. Current speakers (diy) are 89 dB. Looking at a new design where efficiency would be 84dB. Be interested in hearing from anyone that’s paired this amp with lower efficiency speakers. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Luminous Audio Axiom ii passive preamp works great with this amp. I use one, and I think another poster here does as well. Dead quiet even with the STA-200’s high gain. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Read the link quoted above. I don’t pretend to understand all of the amp’s measurements, but I know from speaker building that some that measure well don’t sound particularly good, and vice versa. My speakers have a good 5dB peak from 10 kHz to ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 I thought about the Pro-ject Prebox, but this where it gets a little complicated.....I’ve had this system together only 1 year, started from ground zero, and now I have upgrade-itis. Deciding what to upgrade next is tough. With the STA-200 as th... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Been reading about a lot of dacs, trying to figure out what might best match this amp. NuForce has the Dac-9, there’s the Metrum Acoustics Amethyst, and I very tempted to go tube rolling with the Jolida Tube fx Mk3. I listen exclusively thru Tid... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Hi MrD-Are you using a dac with the STA-200? If so, which one? I think we’re both using the same passive pre amp. I’m using a CEntrance dac mini, but thinking of upgrading. | |
| USB-cable: In between Neo Oyaide d+ and Tellurium Q Silver? 150 - 200 range? I replaced my AQ Carbon USB with the Oyaide Neo d+ A and noticed improvement in SQ— clearer treble and better soundstage. So much of this is system dependent and synergistic though. | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. +1 erik_squires- with diy you can really tweak to get the best response with your equipment/room. With my diy speakers that meant upgrading the caps from Clarity Cap PX to Mundorf Supremes. They remain a work in progress; with a commercial produ... |
