| Denon 2900 Technical Drawings Someone sells the service manual for this unit on Ebay, but as far as i know, this one is on CD. You might also want to contact Denon and see if you can buy the manual directly from them. When working on this type of gear, having the print in fron... | |
| Vibration Problem Try mass loading the player using the sandbag trick, varying the amount of sand / weight in the bag. As Sugarbrie mentioned, you can always put the sandbag inside of some type of ornamental cloth covering.As far as the inntertube goes, try stickin... | |
| Audioquest/Acoustic Zen/Analysis Plus? Phil: As i stated, i wasn't trying to "gouge" on you guys, but was just stating what is a fact. That is, ask 10 people a question pertaining to cabling and you'll get 10 different answers with the possibility for some overlap amongst those 10. Obv... | |
| anyone biamping with B&K ST-140? Kg: My Brother is using an ST-140 for his tweeters, an ST-202+ for his mids, a dual mono ST-202 for his woofers and a dual mono 442 for his subs. All of the amps are heavily modified and actively crossed over at 24 dB's / octave. The speakers are ... | |
| Review: Pass Labs Aleph 3 Amplifier El: My experience with the various Nelson Pass designed amps that i've tinkered with have led me to believe that they are highly load dependent. That is, they are somewhat of a chameleon in terms of sonic characteristics. Most of what one will hea... | |
| Point-to-Point wiring vs. PC Board . . . C4B's: I can't say that i've seen every piece of gear on the market, but i can say that out of those that i've seen, every single one of them can be improved upon with relative ease. Cost cutting in parts, poor design lay-out, redundant circuitry,... | |
| Audioquest/Acoustic Zen/Analysis Plus? Zaikes: My thoughts on cable performance are that each cable acts as an impedance transformer between the components it is linking together. Since each component has their own input / output impedance, various levels of reactance, various levels o... | |
| Audioquest/Acoustic Zen/Analysis Plus? All i can say here is "sheesh". One guy says Brand A is warm, the other says it is slightly lean and the third says it is over-rated. Nothing against any of these folks as they are sharing their opinion and experiences, but how is someone to draw ... | |
| Does good DAC improve sonics of low end transport Yes, a good DAC will improve the performance of most stand alone multi-disc players. Having said that, i would echo the sentiments of what Audioengr stated pertaining to having the changer modified. I don't know anything about your budget though, ... | |
| NEED HELP Down-firing subs will lack detail, definition and impact if crossed over too high. You have to use them as SUB-woofers i.e. crossed over WAY low. If you cross them over too high, the increased delay in arrival times between the subs and the mains ... | |
| The best way to isolate my subs from the floor? You might want to try bracing the floor from underneath using some 4 x 4's and / or some hydraulic bottle jacks. You can place the bottle jacks on top of the 4 x 4's to get them up near the floor and then adjust the bottle jacks for the amount of ... | |
| Loss of digital signal...help My guess is that the Pioneer / Tivo is not maintaining a constant signal. As such, the communications between that unit and the B&K is going out of lock. I would suggest contacting Pioneer and asking them what their thoughts on the subject are... | |
| Point-to-Point wiring vs. PC Board . . . Point to point wiring typically results in measurable variations from unit to unit due to variances in impedances. Obviously, not all the wires will be routed exactly the same, nor will they retain the exact placement and shapes that they are conf... | |
