| Is this clipping or just high SPL? DJ- To answer your question: YES, reflected sound/loud mush at the listening position. As an experiment: find two or three large, thick comforters and drape them on the wall, behind your listening position. That should let you know if slap echo is... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? My listening room is also somewhat small. I found that, at anything approaching a realistic(live or monitor) listening level; the room was overloaded. Treating the back wall(behind my listening position, about 2/3: top-down) with 3" Auralex and LE... | |
| Used tubes question Those that don't experiment with NOS tubes, just don't know what they're missing. Enjoy your music!! =8^) | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? IF the volume levels which you are obtaining are satifying to you; much of the improvement you desire can be had via NOS driver/phase splitter tubes in your power amp. For definition and clarity, I'd personally recommend a pair of Siemens ECC83's,... | |
| Why 6H30 Tubes? (http://www.balanced.com/) Click on, "The 6H30 Tube - One Designer's Perspective" for some info. That was dated before the tube was readily available in the market. I still personally prefer the upper crust of the NOS 6922 family(ie: Siemens CCa o... | |
| Used tubes question Finding TungSols in matched pairs will be hard to do(no- I can't cite a good source), but worth the effort if you can locate some that are low enough noise for a preamp section. Depending on what half wave rectifier you are presently using(ie: Chi... | |
| Ideas for used SS amp 2nd the Hafler suggestion. ie:(http://cgi.ebay.com/HAFLER-9300-AMPLIFIER-AMP-1200-WATT-HOME-THEATER-MOVIE_W0QQitemZ230373733135QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a358330f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) The DH-500 will drive you up a wall ... | |
| Foam Plugs It would be nice to know what size woofer you're talking about. The last drivers I shopped for were 10", and that's been a couple years ago. I couldn't buy the drivers that Lyngdorf used in their W210(raw) or anything equivalent, so I stopped shop... | |
| Live equipment chassis Actually- The nation is becoming more Socialist by the minute, in case you haven't noticed(are you a blond, by chance?). Funny, how little sense of humor Liberals have!! BTW- You're quite welcome. | |
| Foam Plugs Mr T- They laughed at Bob Fulton too, when he'd walk into a shoppe with his 'Gold's'. The laughing stopped, when the music started. Look at the revolution in cables he started. Mr E- There are a few drivers available, with fairly long throw voice ... | |
| Live equipment chassis Think of the income potential, equipping all those squirrels out there with miniature Faraday Cage suits. I'll bet Obama and the ASPCA would finance it! Well- It would end up coming out of taxpayer pockets, but........ | |
| Foam Plugs Mr T- Yes, I do understand your point. However, most make no distinctions between sealed box and 2nd order/acoustic suspension designs nowdays. ie: This site moves directly from a 2nd order alignment(calling it variously, "2nd Order", "Acoustic Su... | |
| Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis No "long term personal experience"(sorry to say). My recent past financial state(expensive divorce) had precluded that possibility. Thus- I can't say anything concrete concerning their reliability, but they do carry a warranty. It's been my experi... | |
| Foam Plugs If the plugs are closed cell foam; the alignment becomes an acoustic suspension. If the foam is somewhat open; it will serve to partially damp the port's output.If your speaker's placement was say, closer to the corners of the room; they could ser... | |
| Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis EAT tubes are manufactured with great care and expertise, comparable to that expended on the better tubes from "the good old days"(NOS GE, Genelex, GEC/Mullard, etc). Whether the difference in sound quality is worth the difference in cost TO you, ... |
