DIY Interconnects review
While it's great to read about someone reading / learning and doing on their own, i'm sad to learn of your illness JD. Needless to say, i wish you all the best!!!Other than that, most of what you've been playing with has to do with impedance, EM (... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Jamscience: Thanks for all the research and leg-work. I have to agree with all of the points that you brought up. That's one of the reasons why i've "harped" so hard on the fact that these units are NOT actual Walsh drivers. This can be seen on th... 
Installing dedicated lines. Which cable to use?
I guess that we all learned something in this thread. It's good to see that there are others paying attention that can help prevent "bad situations" from potentially coming into play. While i don't think that Romex type wiring would result in any ... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
http://fullrangedriver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6485If you read this thread, you'll find someone else commenting on the type of drivers used in newer production "Walsh" series. For the record, i never posted to this thread in any way, shape or ... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Line: I understand this and was joking. One of the basics of physics teaches how sound conducts through various materials, etc.... I'm sorry if my attempt at levity failed and / or was unclear. What i was attempting to do was to show how marketing... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Line: Stop reading and believing the propoganda put out by various manufacturers and start learning for yourself. Pull your Ohm's apart and find out what you've really got once and for all. Once you find that out, maybe then you can tell us what t... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
Drubin: What i was saying is that electronic componentry has a higher level of time delay and signal smearing than even just a reasonably well designed piece of cabling. Sean> 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
The Ohm A's used two different sections of cone and the F's used three different sections of cone, all seemed together mechanically. The Ohm A's had a larger cone with a non-linear flare rate whereas the F's had a smaller diameter cone that mainta... 
Cables, Cables
Thanks for sharing your "cable experiences" Jack. I think that it parallels similar experiences for a lot of us out here. Sean> 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
If you're going to start worrying about the velocity of propagation in cabling, you better start looking at the Td ( Time Delay ) through each component. That will be pretty tough though as most manufacturers won't provide this type of spec, proba... 
a simple yet stupid ? question
Use the Ayre Acoustics "Irrational But Efficacious" disc. Put on track 7 ( Cardas sweep tone ), hit repeat and play it at a volume that is reasonably high yet safe for your equipment. Be forewarned that this track is capable of not only damaging y... 
What do you think of the DIY Cat 5 speaker cables
Technically speaking, this design has a lot going for it in certain areas and drawbacks in others. As can be expected, there are some big sonic improvements in some areas over basic cabling with some drawbacks too. The first thing that i noticed a... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Trelja: While i briefly discussed some of the basic mod's that Bill suggested over the phone quite a while back, i'm hoping that he has somewhat "documented" this latest adventure in rebuilding / re-designing Ohm's version of the Walsh drivers. Wh... 
Installing dedicated lines. Which cable to use?
As Bignerd stated and Nrchy affirmed, so long as one uses the appropriate wiring, the geometric configuration of the wiring isn't critical so long as it is properly terminated. If in doubt, check with the local inspector and / or discuss it with a... 
CD Player Transformed by Power Cable
I'm not surprised that your digital system responded favourably to a power cord change. The power supplies in most digital gear are phenomenally poor, hence the power cords making the most difference there. I've often recommended trying power cord...
