| Townshend Pods with subs What was in the removed post?The walls have their own resonant frequency modes, removing directly coupled energies into them by means of isolation is a good move.Yeah I have everything on springs, wait till you try tuned mass dampers on top of iso... | |
| How to design a high end crossover… I’d venture to say that someone that does this for a living on the high end easily has $20kmin stock parts that they know well to do this. Many good to better caps cost in excess of $300, and the quality of those is a total crap shoot when it ... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? I think Troels mentions the Exotic somewhere on his pages, and says something to the effect that he found another tweeter for alot less money, (Not Seas) , that matched the Exotic, thus making the Exotic not anything special. Cresendo and ... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? Seas T35 exotic are pretty good value for money.It’s ALL about the design and the crossover, using the right tweeter in a given design. Matching drivers, using their strengths and relying on crossover points to diminish the limitations in a proces... | |
| Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright Without words, we’re dumb brutes. Yes, precisely.I believe all thoughts are made in language, even if we have to invent words and meanings. Audiophile terms, recognising them, identifying them and correctly understanding their meanings are possibl... | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" @ wturkey - WAF is a real thing in my life.It's the difference in lifestyle for me. | |
| Speakers as the principle component/other components are servants A good design is one that is voiced properly and that does not necessarily mean using more expensive parts. @ larryi - That could easily be a direct quote from my previous employer, and it's something we absolutely agree upon. | |
| Clean AC power Electricity in an electrical panel is nothing to treat in a casual manner..On that I can 100% agree. | |
| Clean AC power @jea4 - yeah when I'm opening a panel with 3 phase VAC I step to the side and have had some pretty interesting looks when I've told people to step aside and move way back, and I'll absolutely wait for them to comply.The PPE I have worn when traini... | |
| Which subwoofer? @bdp24 - thanks. I know oldhvymec loves his OB too. @oldhvymec - have your well fed chickens started laying Emu eggs yet? They are large and dark green, thought I'd share that, might save you puzzling over it in the future if they do :-) | |
| Need to clean some cds I use Meguiar's PlastX.Running from the middle to the outside I polish like spokes on a wheel all the way around. Then I use the laptop to rip them to files, and play from files. | |
| Which subwoofer? @lewinskih01 I have a dual opposing subs as a single sub. Like you I am interested in Rhythmik pair of speakers to make a DBA, possibly open baffle as well?Something to consider after I've got more room treatment finished.@bdp24 I'd like to know m... | |
| Clean AC power You will need an oscilloscope to see the sinusoidal waveform of your AC coming into your home. If you're dead keen on seeing it, that's what you want to use. What you use in your house / stereo system will introduce noise into the supply, especial... | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance Use whatever you need to get placement (take all the time you need), you can then move to superior footings?Like a trolley to move furniture, just don't leave it under there after it's in it's new home.And yeah, there's no surprise from me, do try... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon @ twoleftears - I nearly moved on an Inakustic power conditioner, until I had another Agoner tell me about the Puritan PSM 156. I did however purchase their demagnetizer disk and music. Did you buy any of their cables? I have heard good things o... |
