| Noise floors Ambient noise floor in my system you have to look forward to Rick.Note to self - purchase matching bullet proof vests for wife and myself when entering Seattle area. Two weeks until my big road trip! @desktopguy - yeah if I build a house, it'll h... | |
| Ultimate Demo Disc for Audio Geeks There was a company called audioXsell that sold black CDR media, and another from Germany with black CDR, probably close to a decade ago. There were starkly audible differences to be heard during playback.The disks I have were burnt on a Yamaha F1... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! Read increasing reviews of the sonic benefits of an audiophile Ethernet switch. Last I checked the $4k Telegärtner m12 network switch was at the top of the heap. Fortunately, there are some new audiophile Ethernet switches more wallet friendly. @k... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? @georgehoffmann60 - so long as the springs are correctly loaded for broad frequency isolation. It works for you, that works for me :) | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? If the tweeter and woofer did not move, you would have one quiet speaker! hahahaha yes, silent | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? I believe the premise is that the speakers are resting motionless on the springs at a specific tension and the function of the spring is to isolate/dissipate vibration. Dissipation of cabinet frequencies can be better achieved by using TMD (tu... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? @perki - The minus K approach would require some engineering based upon some pretty complicated math.If you’re going to order springs for your speakers, some specifications I have found that may help you. (specific to compression springs)springs s... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? @perki I kinda want this :) Minus KYes, it's probably the superior passive isolation money can buy. I was also looking into it for myself, and it's really really expensive. I just can't (at the moment) work out how to justify the cost, make i... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? @hilde45 - have you tired isolation springs? Like even the inexpensive Nobosound type? I have a concrete slab under my system, which is all on springs. | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? rubbed the wrong way nonoise?Vibrations, the good the bad and the ugly. Obviously we want the good vibrations, and reduce the bad ones. And doing that selectively takes knowledge, and effort and an attitude that will allow for learning.Sometimes p... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? I’m more and more getting the feeling that there is more than a little quid pro quo happening on this website, name brand advertising for benefits. is this an admission of guilt? You can tell us, we’re all friends in here, aren’t we? Maybe one of ... | |
| Noise floors Groove noise is the new noise floor. @millercarbon Hmmmm, yeah not really, the loudest thing is my air con, hoping it’s the loudest thing we hear between tracks on my system when I get to Washington *smirk*.Yeah, I know, it’s what you don’t know ... | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! Answering the door naked..Reminds me of an advertisement for DARE coffee flavoured milk in Australia. The daughter arrives on the back of a Harley with a big burly biker, and the daughter thinks she's got away with bringing home someone her dad wo... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? @mozartfan - my old boss makes a two way with the Seas T35 and Peerless 8" with a modified baffle (T35 baffle in solid copper) in a two way floor stander - exceptional!Mike Lenehan is developing a stand mount two way using the Purifi 6.5" and More... | |
| How to design a high end crossover… ^ that's called a fully active system. It was mentioned that even DSP could be used in that manner. |
