| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Drubin: How can i make this easier to understand? I'm not aware of any speakers in box stock form that i really like or think are phenomenally well implimented. On top of that, I don't know of any current production speakers that are sealed and of... | |
| Please Advise: Pre-Amp RIGHT channel OUT You guys hit it on the head. That is cleaning and solder joints on the pot itself. Should be a cheap fix, even if you have to take it in for repair. Sean> | |
| Review: Radio Shack MegaCable 16-gauge Speaker cable I've run into similar situations where using higher grade cabling in a receiver based system caused poorer results. I would not consider your results normal if using a higher grade of "backbone" ( preamp and amp ) components though.As a side note,... | |
| Subwoof Piega P10s for bass Quality, not Quantity? Rgs: If your main goal is to lean the system out slightly, try some Nordost speaker cables. Don't know if you'll like them on the whole, but they will reduce the quantity of bass that you're currently observing. Sean> | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Drubin: Why do you think that i've said that it is difficult to reference "box stock" speakers? The pickings are phenomenally slim. Even those that do some things "right" are "hurting" in other areas. Bombaywalla: I don't doubt that Roy is capable... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Roy brings up some great and very valid points. Speaker design is obviously VERY complex and loaded with design trade-offs. Having said that, Roy's comments also point out that the room has to be taken into consideration i.e. how the drivers "blen... | |
| Subwoof Piega P10s for bass Quality, not Quantity? A high damping factor contributes to more consistent sound from speaker to speaker with the same amp. It doesn't necessarily provide more "authority" or "grip" in terms of bass control. That has to do with current capacity and circuit stability. T... | |
| Believe it or not, an A.M. radio question Use the longest piece of wire that you can hide for an antenna. Doesn't have to be heavy gauge or anything fancy. If that doesn't work, you're probably out of luck. Sean> | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all Jamiehughburr: Atma-Sphere gear is NOT "typical" tube gear. To me, these are tube amps with an SS heart. This is not meant to put them down in the least. What i'm trying to say is that these amps are fast and offer wide-bandwidth. Most tube amps a... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Hopefully, some of you folks that are interested in learning will be able to follow along with this. To try and put things in understandable terms, the "Q" of a speaker relates to the amount of damping at resonance. The speaker with a lower Q has ... | |
| Bass Response Help If everything is hooked up properly i.e. speaker cable polarity especially, you're probably just not happy with the Musical Fidelity house sound. To me, their gear lacks warmth, body and impact. If you've got ported speakers with bloated bass, it ... | |
| MMF 7 help 2.5 mv should be used in the MM input due to the output level. Problem here is that the loading in the MM input is probably not as well suited to your cartridge as the loading in the MC input. You may have to contact Sunfire to see how the phono l... | |
| MMF 7 help I agree that the cartridge could be out of alignment or damaged. The other possibility is that you are experiencing distortion from overloading the MC phono input. Since all circuits overload in various manners, it's possible that the "gargling" s... | |
| Hometheaterphile What finally brought everything together in my HT system was finding amps that could drive my speakers without generating enough heat to cook eggs on. I've now got 6500 watts RMS and, most of the time, the amps are running cool as can be. Prior to... | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all With poor digital recordings and lower quality digital playback gear, i agree that tubes can really breath life, body and soul into your listening habits. This is especially true if those crappy digital recordings are being played back on a lower ... |
