| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? geoffkait,When you state that "I never said Franck Tchang’s diagram wouldn’t work at all", may I respectfully draw attention to your statement that Franck’s placements "are doomed to FAIL for the knock-off attempts of cheap DIYers ". And to your s... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's I have cobbled together my own DIY version of HFTs -- a total of 70 of them in the system, so far. The sound improvement is spectacular. I have left all the other room treatments as is, including ART. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? geoffkait,You stated, "Far be it from me to beat a dead horse but Franck Tchang’s diagram was designed SPECIFICALLY for HIS Special pure Gold, Silver, Platinum and Basic acoustic resonators thus are doomed to FAIL for the knock-off attempts of che... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? toddverrone,I leave mine bare. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? The sand has to be dry. If you are taking it off the beach on a dry day it may feel dry but it will still take some airing out to get rid of the residual moisture. | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? toddverrone,I also make some of my own cables. I use pure silver as well as top-of-the-line Furutech products. For vibration control I use sand boxes -- very effective. | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? rhyno,I use mostly 1/2" by 1/8" neodymium disc magnets -- sometimes in multiples. I also have used neodymium cylindrical magnets. I source them from Amazon and Ebay. There is a lot you can do with these little fellows. The results are often quite ... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? geoffkait,Simply being direct and to the point. You stated, " ... you’re only guessing if you don’t use a SPL meter." Do you mean that Frank Tchang was only guessing? But then you stated, "It [Franck's diagram] will get you around 50% of my SPL me... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? lexphin,I'm very glad to hear you are getting such spectacular results -- like me. Franck Tchang did not create his guide out of thin air. He is the original master regarding resonator placement. Everyone else followed him. Of course, variations a... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? geoffkait,In my system Franck's basic diagram works very well. Franck eliminated a lot of the guess work for me. YMMV. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? lexphin,I forgot to mention to place one on the ceiling -- at the crossing of the diagonals from one corner to the other, in the exact middle of the ceiling -- as per SR. Zilplex also uses the same location.geoffkait,Franck Tchang has saved us a l... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? lexphin,Copper is good. There are also silver cones but they are not easy to find. Franck Tchang's placement is perfect in my system. I would be interested in knowing your impressions. SR uses crystals under the screen. Audio-Magic copied this in ... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Any extras you can put on other components and tweaks. I have them on DAC, transport and other devices. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? lexphin,You were lucky to find them. Are they copper? Franck Tchang's placement is mandatory here. Google Franck Tchang acoustic resonators placement. This will take you to the page on his site with the diagrams. He is the master. Everyone else fo... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? lexphin,You're welcome. Glad to hear. Where did you source the cones? For placement you need to follow the diagram on Franck Tchang's site. This makes a big difference. |
