| Current equipment similar to ancient DBX 14/10 and/or 20/20 computerized equalizers? @weh51nc- I suppose one could use either of these methods, to get a DEQ 24/96 connected to the tape loop of an older system: https://www.amazon.com/Balanced-Unbalanced-Line-Level-Converter/dp/B00NK7OVA0 or: https://www.amazon.com/Female-Sock... | |
| the dB/octave specification of the crossover? Phase shift is also a concern, regarding higher order crossovers. Funny; these guys misspelled, 'Linkwitz" in their title. https://www.audiocontrol.com/downloads/tech-papers/tech-paper-102.pdf and: https://www.passlabs.com/te... | |
| Is Break-In essential and potentially dangerous for the Audiophile? Anyone ever heard of VAC Audio? From their 70/70 manual (copy/paste/verbatim): "Any time that the VAC Power Amplifier has not been used for a few weeks the sound may be different. This is also normal for high resolution audio equipment. Op... | |
| Current equipment similar to ancient DBX 14/10 and/or 20/20 computerized equalizers? Then, there's this: https://reverb.com/item/7998367-dbx-20-20-computerized-equalizer-analyzer | |
| Current equipment similar to ancient DBX 14/10 and/or 20/20 computerized equalizers? This is far from high end, but; I’ve installed them in a number of live venues, with good results. There’s one in my listening room (outside the system) for checking room/system response with it’s Spectrum Analyzer and a variety of Pink Noi... | |
| An Odd Question @mysterioso1- "Maybe I just accept the idea that the stereo gets good vibes from the guitars and vice versa!" That’s my friend’s point of view. I'm still going to mention those Fretwraps. Great idea, that one! | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? I’ve already posted a link to this article elsewhere, but- it seems relevant here, as well (Again: notwithstanding opinions on Robert Harley, Martin-Logan, Constellation, TAS, the term, "Hi-Fi, etc): http://www.enjoythemusic.com/tas/261/editorial.... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Resurrecting another dead thread? Yes, the materials used in any cable’s (or PCB laminate’s) dielectrics affect signal transmission speeds, according to the Dielectric Coefficient (Dk) of the material. ie: https://www.edn.com/rule-of-thumb-3-... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers "There is that old saying though.....too much of anything..... " Hence: the article link I posted. | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers @mahgister- Of course; how others communicate their ideas/perceptions is often a learning experience. Somewhat: the theme of this thread. Happy listening! | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers @mahgister- I thought I was being quite clear; in that clean and ample AC, vibration control and room acoustics are PRIMARY, in my experience and different from tweaks. ie: "It’s been my experience; only after those (the a... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers @mahgister- The article does mention clean (I’d add ample) AC and vibration control, which, "aided" the author in obtaining greater system resolution. Though I’ve always considered both those and room acoustics (per Sabin, etc) primary, far as ... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers In no way do I intend this to be an exercise in semantic gymnastics, but- I’ve often used the terms, "resolving" and, "revealing" interchangeably. ie: A really, "resolving" speaker will be found, "revealing" of whatever is correct or incorrec... | |
| An Odd Question This thread made me think of a close friend, with a collection of guitars, banjos and dobros, many of which are displayed on the walls in the room adjacent to his system (10’ wide opening, between rooms). He generally has his favorite Martin a... |
