| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help HEY, "wolf"- Look up a Vet on this declawing locator site: (http://www.localvets.com/services/declawing/) Ask them to educate you! I found twelve, in my neighborhoo, that are presently declawing cats. | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Haven't you people ever heard of, "declawing?" In 1978, my daughter got a cat for her birthday. It was declawed(front paws) immediately. After one incident, it was vigrously trained not to jump onto my turntable, and other audio gear. The cat's na... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help I suppose people incapable, or unwilling, to do(or learn to do) simple tasks for themselves, is what keeps our economy fueled(at least the repair/service sectors). Then again- there are A LOT of people out there, that should NOT be allowed to lift... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help Silicone will add weight to that section of the surround(not much, but...), and silicone does not adhere well to neoprene anyway. Get some Super Glue/Krazy Glue/cyanoacrylate adhesive, and dab a TINY bit exactly in the center of the cut, with the ... |
