| Lowthers - Please educate a village idiot... Trelja: Heresy's use an accordion surround, so there is no foam to rot. If the driver needs to be re-coned, it is either rattling or torn. As for the tweeters, i don't know if one can find diaphragms for these or not. I would get busy looking for ... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread Plasma's are omnidirectional except when coupled with horns to raise their output. The problem with trying to mate the Plasma with most any other driver is that the Plasma is SO much faster that the sound being reproduced lacks continuity between ... | |
| A Wholly Different Approach to Power Conditioning Twl: I agree with everything that you said. The only problem might arise from using dedicated inverters for each component. Since all the components share signal ( and possibly chassis ) ground, it is possible that the inverters might interfere wi... | |
| Lowthers - Please educate a village idiot... Twl: My comments about "sipping tea" and using most "full range drivers for background music" referred to the lack of bottom end that most of them suffer from. Elevator music doesn't need bass : )Other than that, my comments had nothing to do with... | |
| A Wholly Different Approach to Power Conditioning 3% distortion is not too good. Your AC as supplied by your power company is supposed to remain lower than 5% at any given time. If it is above 5%, chances are, your pole transformer is defective. In comparison, the PS units are probably WAY, WAY b... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread Unsound: My buddy is trying to get me into Plasma drivers, but the trade-offs are VERY steep when running this type of driver. Besides the limited output, there are health hazards and TONs of RFI to deal with when using them. If i were to mate a P... | |
| Lowthers - Please educate a village idiot... That's really cool Joe. I'm sure that it did your Uncle's heart good when you not only shared a common interest, but that you would probably be as glad to own the product as he was of building it : )I did just what you are thinking of doing, but n... | |
| What benefit do bullet plugs add to ICs? Just the opposite Bigkids. Since there is more plastic than metal, the cables have a higher potential to pick up RFI since they are not shielded as well. Plastic is also far more fragile than metal, so you're paying more and getting less for your ... | |
| Help in Selecting CD Player Does Quad still use those "funky" DIN connectors like they did on their older gear or have they come round to using something a little more universal ? Converting cables from RCA to DIN is a real PITA !!! Sean> | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Slappy: I think that you'll find that there are MANY schools of thought as to what makes for a "great rack" ( oooh boy.... ), but there is no single ideology that covers every aspect perfectly. That is why there is such a vast market of products a... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread El: I have contemplated just such a thing i.e. producing a newer, more refined version. If you read the Agon wanted ads, i have a listing for Ohm F's posted. While i could do some "tall experimenting" on the four that i have, i really don't want t... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread Viridian: I agree with your observations about the majority of stock F's "ringing like a bell". There are ways to DRASTICALLY improve their performance in this area though. Since "ringing" has to do with transient response and internal damping, an... | |
| Skipping CD's Lasers will typically "fall off" in output as they age. As such, their ability to recover data also declines as they age. Whereas some "scuffed" discs may play fine in a new machine with a new, high output laser mechanism, the older laser with low... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? I have to "re-nominate" Radiohead. What the hell is all the hype about ??? Between these guys and a band called Porcupine Tree, i've wasted too much time and money trying to see what others and reviewers see / hear in them.This gives me an idea. R... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Viggen: That "naked baby pictures" was a great analogy i.e. it made me chuckle out loud : )Gunbei: Shame on you : )I would LOVE to have enough time to sit down and actually measure / chart / document "vibrations" using various types of racks / foo... |
