| AudioPrism Quiet Lines Quiet Lines can definitely help, but they will never give you the same benefits of having properly filtered, narrow-bandwidth, non-current limited AC. Tbey are additive by nature i.e. the benefits become more apparent as you use more of them in th... | |
| I've lost my bass.... I disagree that changing amps will not affect the quantity of bass and there are several reasons why i believe this. The two reasons listed below basically sum up all the various reasons that may fall into multiple different categories though. 1) ... | |
| VTA: am I nutz? Agreed with the above. Tonearms that have "on the fly" adjustable VTA offer a big advantage. That is, if you are truly anal about analogue reproduction : ) Sean>PS... No, you're NOT "nutz" : ) | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Twl: If the shape or size of the cone doesn't come into play with the quantity or direction of energy transfer, why did they choose what they did to work with? What i'm getting at is that you can't have your cake and eat it too. The marketing that... | |
| Your opinion on cable spending You can spend the rest of your life mixing and matching cables. Unless you have some type of constant in the system i.e. a given point of reference, you'll always be playing one type of colouration off of another. In order to minimize this, you ha... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets NO fiberglass in a speaker with open vents. Acoustic foam can work very well, especially since you can easily adhere it within the cabinet and vary the density through-out it. I would suggest covering the entire inside of the cabinet with a layer ... | |
| What does Holographic mean to you? It means that Bob Carver is a lot more influential within the audio industry than many give him credit for. After all, wasn't it he who coined the phrase / marketed "Sonic Holography" over 20 years ago? Sean> | |
| need your help flying blind. The electrical characteristics for optimal / neutral performance from speaker cables has been pretty well covered in many, many threads in the archives. If you are looking for suggestions pertaining to personal preference with the speakers that yo... | |
| Dual layer pause when playing DVD's? The Denon's get around this by buffering the output i.e. storing it in 8 meg* of memory ( like a computer ) and then playing it after it has passed through the memory. The buffer has enough storage capacity to at least minimize and normally remove... | |
| Dummy Load Rick: As mentioned, you want to run the amp up where you would have your normal listening levels at. So long as the amp or resistors aren't over-heating, more volume would be better / help to speed up the process. Other than that, glad that things... | |
| severe limiting factor Newbee: After reading your response, it looks like we are pretty much on the same page. Thanks for re-affirming my faith in your good judgment : )Other than that, i don't know what Kevin has done to try and work through this. He hasn't mentioned a... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets Are these speakers vented or sealed? At what frequency does the woofer cross over to the mid? Sean> | |
| Dual layer pause when playing DVD's? As far as i know, i think that the only machines that DON'T have at least some type of a pause in them when changing layers are the Denon 2900 and 5900. I could be wrong though as i'm not much of a vidiot : ) Sean> | |
| severe limiting factor Newbee: I agree with the majority of what you are saying here. I do have to bring up one point. I would not consider sitting 9' from speakers that are spaced 6' apart as being "too far into the nearfield". While i know that such variables as toe-i... | |
| Do most manu. buy or build their x-overs? I would agree with the above responses. As a side note, i just got done putting a 5 driver 4 way speaker system back together. That's why i haven't been around as much. These speakers had 61 connections per crossover board. After we were done layi... |
