| Any one try pa amplifiers for home stereo? I've got an AB International amp that just came in for a customer that i'm building a PA system for. It is rated at 525 wpc @ 8 and 850 @ 4. I have not heard it yet, but i'm going to hook it up before it goes out the door. My guess is that it will... | |
| Sony SACD Owners: Anyone Use a DAC for Redbook? Ken: There are a lot of reputable "professional tweakers" out there that are working on these units. My advice is to talk to those that come highly recommended to you and see who you feel most comfortable with. Bare in mind that you can spend as m... | |
| Antenna questions The "basic" formula for a Yagi design is that the driven element is tuned to resonance in the center of the desired frequency range. The reflector is then tuned appr 5% longer than the driven element and placed behind it. Varying the space will af... | |
| Sony SACD Owners: Anyone Use a DAC for Redbook? I would suggest having the player itself modified. You'll save a cable and a lot of other additional circuitry. Sean> | |
| Gear in Albert: Most dynamic speakers will perform worse as they heat up. This is both measurable and audible and may be one of the reasons that drivers that are highly efficient can sound better in some respects i.e. they don't need as much power so they... | |
| Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group Wstritt, that Tonio K cut comes off of what i think is a truly GREAT and very overlooked album. Glad someone else recognizes that : ) Sean> | |
| Antenna questions Twin lead is lower loss than coax so long as humidity remains low and it is not mounted up against or near metalic objects. Otherwise, the impedance is altered and the loss goes way up at that point. Having said that, foamed twin-lead is more stab... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? One Audiophile: While Dynamat works, it is cost prohibitive to use in big quantities. Technically, while the Dynamat may work "better" in an all out effort as compared to the Asphalt or Vinyl based sheets i linked to above when used all by themsel... | |
| Choking more SPL's out of Maggie 3.6's Pbb is very close to the truth but i'm not basing my comments on my past experience alone. I did have a 4B a few years back that was pretty well beat up. Dennis at Bryston USA went through the amp top to bottom, replaced the chassis and put the un... | |
| More questions from Chris L. Chris: I said that some might intially find the JBL's to be "impressive" based on the physical size of the cabinet and the larger than "normal" sized woofer that one commonly finds in most current designs.Other than that, i'm glad that you have en... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct You folks might want to take a look at this thread over at AA. I guess i'm not the only one "stirring the pot" on this specific subject. Sean> | |
| Choking more SPL's out of Maggie 3.6's I see four problems here. 1) To produce very high spl's, you have to move a lot of air. To move a lot of air, you have to have a lot of driver surface area that is capable of long excursions. 2) Panel speakers can't make long excursions even thoug... | |
| More questions from Chris L. I stopped by BB today and saw the speakers that Chris is looking at. I can see why a "youngster" might be impressed by them i.e. they are good sized floorstanders and appear to be a bargain at 1/3 of retail price. Having said that, i was quickly r... | |
| FM radio enthusiasts Ehart, drop me a line. I may be able to pick one up for you if you don't mind covering shipping. It would still be WAY cheaper than buying the current model rotor. Sean> | |
| Something wrong with the Studio 100 v.2? Glad you found something that you liked but didn't you end up spending more than planned ? Sean> |
