| Subwoofer for Dunlavy SC IV's Can't remember the name, but there is a company that bought the remaining stock & parts from Dunlavy. You might want to check and see if they have any of the Dunlavy subs. These were all pretty big though, so don't know how that would work int... | |
| How many quality interconnects to I need ? Psychicanimal: One has to look at source and load impedances when discussing such things as inductance and capacitance in a cable. Having said that, the electrical characteristics / load that the cable brings with it will remain constant but wheth... | |
| Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please Rather than try a "band aid" that results in another set of completely different problems, why not go to the source ? If you are bothered by the bass talking to you via the floor, why not install some simple braces underneath it ? I don't see any ... | |
| Signal degration over length, source vs. output ? Kr4: Since your concern is with loss of power transfer, which do you think "loses" more power / signal ? A) A long run of 20 gauge or thinner wire ( as commonly found in most interconnects ) ORB) A long run of 14 gauge or heavier wire ( as commonl... | |
| Sony SCD-1 can't read Multichannels Hybrid SACDs While the unit is unplugged, turn the device off and on several times. This should help to fully discharge the capacitors and do a more thorough "reset" of the device. Sean> | |
| Signal degration over length, source vs. output ? Generally, you can read a lot of generalizations about this subject : )Balanced lines are less susceptible to running into problems with long line lengths. They are still subject to degrading / losing signal via dielectric absorption and the imped... | |
| How many quality interconnects to I need ? Audioengr: While i would basically agree with your comments, i recently did a cable shoot-out with various interconnects between my SACD 1000 and my Pre-Pro ( Sunfire Theater Grand Mk II ). One set of cables had a total capacitance of 23 pf's per ... | |
| SUPER TWEETERS-anybody heard them? Not to side-track the thread, but in response to Czbbcl's comments about his AR 90's being "soft" on the extreme top end, these speakers are relatively linear out to appr 23 KHz. Some tweeters marketed at "super" tweeters won't even go this high. ... | |
| Biamping with 2 spare channels on 7 channel amp? Jotter: You've got it right. You simply split the signal coming out of the L/R preamp jacks and feed them to the four channels that you would like to use. Obviously, you HAVE to remove the jumper from the speakers' binding posts or "KA-BlOOEY". If... | |
| Audio articles of interest Positive Feedback has an interesting article / interview with Steve & Janet Nugent of Empirical Audio. For those that don't know who Steve is, you may have read some of his posts here and at AA under the name of "Audioengr". Not only does this... | |
| Try this simple DIY interconnect cable. What do you mean ? We AREN'T making cables that should cost that much already ??? : ) Sean> | |
| What was your greatest epiphany? Matchstikman: I was talking about digital front ends in this post, not amplifiers. As far as amps go, almost all of my speakers are of low impedance, low sensitivity and highly reactive. This is a combo that very few tube amps would enjoy dealing ... | |
| Power cord? Why? Corona: I apologize for my idiocy and redundancy. If i can shake loose that much change from my pockets, i may give one of these a try. Sean> | |
| Genetic differences in turntable design. Psychicanimal: Dare i ask what your last comment means ? I'm almost afraid of the answer.... : ) Sean> | |
| Try this simple DIY interconnect cable. Twl: I built a set of cables incorporating some of the ideas that you discussed. The wire i'm using is 24 gauge Teflon insulated silver plated copper. I'm using two per polarity for an equivalent 21 gauge conductor. I have multiple spools of this ... |
