| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Tbg: Something can sound "better" to you but maybe not to me. How something sounds is subjective and up to interpretation. If one were to go about doing some testing in a logical manner, it would be easy to verify which device actually produced mo... | |
| Your opinion on cable spending El: That is a completely backwards approach that creates as many problems as it solves. I am NOT recommending cables as a tone control so much as i am striving to achieve a high level of linearity throughout the entire system, from start to finish... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets Barry: Neither Joe or myself are encouraging anyone to "stuff" their ports so much as we are encouraging additional damping material inside the cabinet. Having said that, most vented boxes are pieces of junk and closing the ports completely could ... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Twl stated: "Airborne resonance energy(in the form of the music you are playing) enters the equipment, racks, or whatever, and can influence the sound of the music reproduction. We wish to minimize the effects of this by causing the resonant energ... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets Trelja: Yes Joe, these were the Legacy's we were working on. We just got them finished tonight and are pretty happy with them. That is, considering what we started off with. They are like a completely different speaker now i.e. MUCH better soundin... | |
| Your opinion on cable spending Here's a brief but simple formula on how to achieve consistent results in system building. This procedure is known as "voicing a system". Most consumers and audio shops do not know or understand this concept, but those that have been around long e... | |

| What causes 1 speaker to distort unexpectedly? Duke hit it on the head. Sean> | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? How is it that one device of limited mass and surface area could "couple" or "drain" all frequencies equally? If it can't, isn't it introducing non-linearities into the system via selective nodes being generated / left behind? Sean> | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes Kevziek: Yes, i've heard the speakers on multiple different occassions in different locations with different gear driving them. As to the comments that i made pertaining to frequency response abberations, try looking at the Stereophile review of t... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes If you can deal with a speaker that has frequency response abberations that diverge from "flat" as much as +8/-3 dB's to start off with, you're amp should have enough power to drive them. The speakers are relatively efficient, so gobs of power wou... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets As Barry aka "Bright Star Audio" mentioned, i typically do not advocate stuffing the port in any way, shape or form. That is, unless one is "experimenting" and does so in a fashion that is easily reversed. Having said that, most mass produced and ... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Does one have to ingest manure to know that it tastes like ....? Then again, maybe it doesn't taste all that bad. Anyone up to eating a few heaping bowlfuls and reporting back with their findings? Ten bucks says i can guess the results without lif... | |
| Mapleshade Samson rack: Opinions? I have a very similar rack in my bedroom system that i built, but it is of a MUCH lower mass design ( on purpose ). The only reason that i went this route is that all of the components that i'm using in this system are physically small ( Quad ) an... | |
| CD Cutting and / or Trimming As Matty stated, i have and use an Audio Desk Systeme, but not on every disc. If someone is interested, they can drop me a disc and i'll cut it for them. Just cover the shipping both ways. This works best if you have an IDENTICAL disc to compare i... |
