| Gain stage, advantages/disadvantages For someone that is "new" to audio, you've picked the name of a very old and respected audio company for a moniker and purchased some very nice gear. Is this "luck" or are you an old "golden ear" playing dumb ? : )Honestly though, the low gain sta... | |
| OHM Speakers? OOPS !!!! Here's the website about Walsh's that i was talking about and forgot to include in the above post. Sorry 'bout dat... Sean> | |
| What stand does you Turntable sit on? Inpep: I would have to worry about such things if the above were true. I figured that you folks could use a laugh. I know that there are people that have done what i mentioned, but i'm not THAT crazy ( yet ) : ) Sean> | |
| Adding power-supply chokes to gear possible? The choke is used to shunt high frequency noise and minimize ripple on the line. There are other ways to do this but Jcbtubes is correct in stating that such an internal modification would require forethought and care in both selecting the parts a... | |
| how do you measure the coil in the crossover? Strictly ballpark suggestions here on wire: 18 - 20 gauge for the tweeter12 - 16 gauge for the two mid-woofersYou can start off by using some simple solid core copper wire from your hardware store and see what gauge gives you good results for just... | |
| Cardas Upgrade - Arm Balancing Problem Sounds like the cartridge is too light for the arm / counterweight combo. Either that or the wire itself is binding up somehow and trying to push the arm up. Could be a combo of the two things too. Sean> | |
| Anybody remember G.A.S. James Bongiorno is back in business and using the GAS name again. His new amp is called Ampzilla 2000 and supposedly sounds pretty good. I think it is a straight Class B design, not running in Class A bias at any point of operation. As such, it sh... | |
| OHM Speakers? The only Ohm's that have ever used a REAL "Walsh" driver have been the original Ohm A, the Ohm F and the Ohm G. Anything else that has been marketed as having a "Walsh driver" or sold as part of the "Walsh series" has nothing to do with the earlie... | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Scott: Speakers with first order crossovers "should" typically be more efficient than a speaker using a more complex and parts heavy crossover. If one uses very high quality drivers with good power handling characteristics, i see no reason why a s... | |
| Home Theater Power Amplifier Help Onhwy61: What kind of talk is this that you've introduced into these forums ??? Reality ? I'll have nothing to do with such topics... : ) Sean> | |
| What stand does you Turntable sit on? I had concrete pillars poured into the foundation of the house. These rise through the flooring and support each turntable that i own. The sheer mass of these is nearly immovable, so i need only worry about air-borne vibrations. Sean> | |
| how do you measure the coil in the crossover? My experience is that changing / upgrading speaker components almost always improves transparency and dynamics as compared to mass produced items. While Bigtee does bring up some very valid points, the key here is to use parts that are identical i... | |
| Please help: Room size? What type of speakers do you have or intend to run ? Personally, i'd rather see you go with something around 19' long if you plan on placing the mains on the short wall. While i think that 10' is too narrow ( you'll need MAJOR room treatment ), es... | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Twl: I don't know if you remember my original suggestion in Jeff's first thread, but it was not that far off from what you stated here. I took it up a notch in terms of refinement over commercial models and chose models that are very easily modifi... | |
