| Record-playing Rituals? I just want to say that I love you guys and am glad to see that others are having as much fun as me. My madness involves using 2 different disc washer brushes, one wet and one dry. I use a brush supplied with cartridge to clean stylus. I use too m... | |
| Wire Up-grade for Rega RB300 Thanks. I already have the Origin Live mechanical modification and I am looking for the wire upgrade that I can do myself. The express machining seems a bit pricey for wire. The DIY'er in me says just buy some high quality wire, some steel braidin... | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? I would like to thank Chris (Sqjudge) for the lead on a circuit. Thank-you! | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? I recently built an amp using Amplimo modules. Two years ago, I built a Marchand cross-over kit. In my youth I built dynacos and heath kits. I have also built several speaker systems that all exceeded my expectations, that I continue to use. Curre... | |
| Compare the Nautilus Tweeter to DIY Unless, you are very capable at cross-over design, I would stick with the Zalytron tweeter and his cross-over. You will probably come closer to the B&W sound by getting a similiar type driver.(ie a soft dome or a metal dome or metal inverted.)... | |
| Building an amplifier with Amplimo It was roughly $400. | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Some speakers (usually very expensive) really don't need subs or a sub makes very marginal difference. Then there's the question of power. Bass frequencies require lots of power while higher frequencies do not. By adding a sub with active cross-ov... | |
| BIAMPING I run a tri-amp system using an electronic crossover. I have found that the tweeter gets by nicely with 50 watts per channel but the midrange improved dramatically when it was replaced with a 250 wpc amp from a 100 wpc amp. The mid range runs from... | |
| Dustcovers.. on or off... I have to disagree. Perchance California is a dustier place than most but the dustcover keeps the dust out. The finest phono equipment sounds like crap when a piece of dust attaches itself to the stylus. Keeping the dust cover on keeps the dust do... | |
| x-cross overs HELP The improvement with an electronic crossover and separate amp over a passive crossover (even with biamping) is considerable. Get one as soon as you can. | |
| Daniel Pre-amp by Curcio Thanks for the response. I will proceed with the resurrection of one that was given to me. (It's a bag of parts.) Did you use any sort of plug arrangement to connect the power supply chassis to the main chassis? Any thoughts on the layout suggeste... | |
| sometimes you just need to tap your toes I will be forever stuck in the sixties and seventies playing Blonde on Blonde, In Search of the Lost Chord, Year of the Cat, and Seargeant Pepper to name just a few. Sadly the re-ssued CD's don't sound as good as I remember but then neither does t... | |
| Best Woofer s for DIY speakers The NHT 1259 for $150 at Madisound or Speaker City is a veritable bargain. It requires a 3.5 cubic foot sealed enclosure making for easy assembly. Both Madisound and Speaker City offer ready made enclosures. You need 200 watts to drive it. | |
| amp for sub If you have two 12" woofers, I would suggest you run each with its own amplifier rather than one amp with the speakers in parallel. My experience has been you can play louder and the bass sounds better. I suggest you buy a bridgeable stereo amp an... | |
| My DIY 300B amp God bless you for sharing your trials and tribulations with us. Currently, I am building a solid state amp, because my intestinal fortitude just wasn't there to try tubes. I do intend to make the plunge and I hope the occassional e-mail from me wo... |
