| correct way to bi-wire? Hook up the speakers as you would normally do on one channel ( A ). Play some music as you would normally at a low level. While playing, switch over to the A + B setting with no speakers hooked up to B. If the sound disappears, your speaker jacks ... | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? Z, there's a story i'd like to share that is quite complimentary to Technics DD tables, but i might lose what little credibility i have with "audiophiles" if i did. I'm glad that you have enough faith in your choice and ears to mention such a prod... | |
| Anything beat dh labs t-14 for the money...... Marakanetz. Use whatever you like as speaker cable. As i've always said, you have to listen to your system, so you might as well enjoy it regardless of what anyone else has to say.As far as your calculations go, your math and assumptions are way o... | |
| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment Thorman is right on the money. Most of that stuff sounds horrid unless you're looking for sheer brute volume. This is due to the fact that these amps are not built for sonics, they are built for rugged reliability under any / all load and thermal ... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? If these are the little two-way design that they sell, i agree. It may be the finest "baby sized" speaker on the market. The funny thing is, these use drivers made by Focal. For those that don't know who that is, Focal is the same company as JM La... | |
| Anything beat dh labs t-14 for the money...... Marakanetz: Dynamic speakers can offer various levels of capacitive or inductive reactance at various phase angles. E-stat's that are "direct drive" ( no transformer ) present a very high capacitive loads. I'm sure that there are other speakers th... | |
| Chicago Audio Society June Meeting Charlie: I'm not sure exactly what is planned. Hopefully, Brian will jump in here and take control of this thread. One thing that Brian did make me aware of is that Bob Crump "might" be at this meeting depending on his schedule. With all of these ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 or Pass Labs Aleph 30 I don't think that you'll find the Aleph lacking in warmth, but more-so in bottom end extension and "slam". Sean> | |
| Convert Bozak Mono Speaker to Subwoofer??? I would start off by investigating the condition of the driver. If everything seems okay i.e. the driver moves freely without dragging or scraping, the surround ( foam, cloth, etc... ) is in good shape, etc.. If that all checks out, I don't see a ... | |
| Convert Bozak Mono Speaker to Subwoofer??? That's definitely a pretty good sized box and if the driver is still in decent shape, it should be capable of good low frequency response. Is the box sealed or vented ? Sean> | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? As those that know me can testify, I have a way of finding "killer deals" on a regular basis. With that in mind, the one that really stands out to me was when i bought my first pair of Ohm F's. When Ohm Acoustics stopped production of the F's, the... | |
| Power supply variations- We must have all been posting at the same time : ) Sean> | |
| Power supply variations- Sugar and Herman bring up very valid concerns. You can use a different wall wart so long as the voltage is the same and current capability are equal to or higher than originally specified. While voltage will remain consistent ( or relatively so ),... | |
| Anything beat dh labs t-14 for the money...... Marakanetz: The cable that you suggested is basically "generic" Monster Cable. Such a design is best suited for use below 300 - 500 Hz when connected to the typically inductive load of most dynamic loudspeakers. Above that point, you can expect ro... | |
| Philips SACD 1000 / power cords in general Richard: The SACD 1000 is not grounded in this system other than by the grounding that one achieves through the interconnects that tie component chassis together.As a side note, i would prefer that the chassis of all components were "floating" and... |
