| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? I haven't read all the posts, so- someone may have already mentioned the sonic benefits of observing the directionality of film caps. Most of the better ones are marked, in some way, as to which lead is connected to the outer foil. Good tips, espe... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? I'm just talking from my personal experience, as a speaker reconer. The article YOU cited, was referring to the spider sagging towards the magnet structure(not the frame), and states exactly that. Like I said, I don't doubt that could occur, do to... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? Step Six is speaking of the spider sagging toward the magnet(read it again). Something that I ran into frequently, with older woofers, when in the reconing business. Just the opposite of what one would get, in a downward firing woofer. That would ... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? You might notice; that article, and it's accompanying remedies, addresses downward facing woofers only(as in some subwoofers). Many of which have heavy cones and/or long excursion(some double) coils. The effect of that type of sag would displace t... | |
| Tact 2.0S or Tact 2.2XP Hello Southwind- I spoke with Boz, not long ago. Some of the components he used, in the build of the 2.0, are no longer available. If you did buy one, support might be iffy, and- no, the 2.0 cannot function(perform room corrections) without a comp... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? The price has gone up, from the $60 you were quoted: (http://www.vinylflat.com/index.html) | |
| Why magic at 80 db? There's been a move in Washington, to try to control commerical loudness levels: ( http://www.livescience.com/5737-effort-shush-loud-tv-commercials.html ) I hate hype, and immediately mute my system's sound, when they come on. The fake excitement,... | |
| Why magic at 80 db? To support Mezmo's observation: (http://www.digido.com/honor-roll.html) Also- some systems take more power, before they, "come alive" than others. How many hours do have on your speakers(are they a recent acquisition)? Most driver compliances take... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? If in doubt, try it out! These have a 30 day, money back, satisfaction guarantee: (http://www.musicdirect.com/p-9670-shunyata-venom-3-power-cable.aspx) If you can't hear a difference, between them and your stock cords; count your blessings! You st... | |
| 103r Stylus replacement? Another excellent retip & repair service: (http://www.eugenehifi.com/VanDenHul/htm/van_den_Hul_Cartridge_Retip_Repair.htm) | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Iso- I'm not into animal cruelty in the least(OR Anthropomorphism). Angel was as much a compleat, frisky feline after, as it was before the procedure, minus it's capacity for shredding things. It was an indoor pet, and needed not to defend itself.... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Tim- You keep talking about, "mass." What part of, "stiffness"(changing a driver's compliance, Cms/Qts), do you not understand? | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Hello Tim- I did speaker reconing for a number of years(largest speaker repair service in Orlando, FL), before opening a High End shoppe, in Winter park, FL. I was building my own line of speaker systems(Pro and home), and still reconing/repairing... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Timlub- It seems we pressed the, "Submit" button, within seconds of one another, on those last two posts. Regarding cyanoacrylate and rubber: There are numerous kits available, that use neoprene, Nitrile, Viton, etc. and cyanoacrylate to allow one... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Timlub- Adding paint and fabric to a surround, will both stiffen and add weight to it, changing the Thiel/Small parameters. It's easy to, "fix" a speaker, so it continues to make sounds. Reconing is another option, but the vast majority of reconer... |
