| Record-playing Rituals? It is quite possible that the vinyl itself is damaged from repeated plays on an improperly aligned phono system. It would not be beyond comprehension that such a system may have been tracking at too high of a force and literally "carved" its' way ... | |
| Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s Phasecorrect: Please explain to me how your rebuttal here:"Here is what one can get new or used for same amount of coin / all vastly superior in one way or another." differs from what i stated here:"You can probably beat them with newer products i... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? You might be right. I think that the first commercially available "loaded" woofer system was the Janus made by Jan Marovskis. That is, as far as i can remember. Design Acoustics, a division of Audio Technica, also did this on some of their models.... | |
| Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist The first thing that came to mind was a band called "Wire" from the UK. They were a highly influential "underground" band that many punk, metal and "college artists" took to heart. Some referred to them as the "Pink Floyd of punk rock". Michael St... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? I don't doubt that Allison did something like that as he was always playing with / taking into account room loading and gain. There have been other designs that fire the woofer upwards into a "loading plate", which achieves the same effect without... | |
| MCs: to load or not to load, that is the question? HAHAHA... you guys are cracking me up.I think experimentation is what works best. Due to the differences in capacitance and resistance via the tonearm cabling, interconnects, phono stage loading and the tonal balance of the rest of the system, one... | |
| Try 4.0 or 4.1 instead of 5.1... it's worth a shot I agree with you to a certain extent. A lot of it has to do with how you have your system optimized i.e. for two channel or for HT. Speaker placement WILL be different if seeking optimum results for each mode. Type and radiation pattern of the spe... | |
| Need Help with Koss CM-1030 speakers Thanks for the detective work Ozfly. I appreciate it. I'll try dropping Aargonaut an email to see if they can help me out, but i'm hoping that someone out here that has a set of these will "volunteer" to work with me on this. Convincing a total st... | |
| What Tube Amp Looks Coolest? Someone help me out here. There was a company that was formed after the owner splintered off from Audio Note UK. They had some rather "different" looking tube based pieces from what i can remember. I think that these guys might have been the first... | |
| Anyone remember the "Elcassette"? Due to the lack of availability of blank tapes and the fact that you can't play them in anything but machines that are no longer available and never sold well to begin with, i don't think that there is any market for the Extra Large Cassette. Sean... | |
| What does + or - in speaker binding translate to? Black is negative or - and red is positive or +. It is quite possible that something else in your system inverts polarity also, which would result in "normal" polarity at the speaker. I would hook the system up with "regular" polarity and listen f... | |
| Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s Phasecorrect: I won't argue the points that you brought up. They are all true. As i had already stated though, i don't think that you could find a "conventional" speaker that could compete with the DQ's at the prices mentioned. That is, if you are... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Danner's comments about surface area only cover part of the equation. Not only is surface area important, so is the amount of displacement. In order to achieve high levels of displacement, a "long throw driver" or one that is capable of making qui... | |
| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K Specific types of "rock" music are FAR more demanding to reproduce than any other type of music. The amps are required to generate a far higher average power level and the speakers are required to dissipate that power. Obviously, using more effici... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? Unsound: I had forgotton all about those models. Personally, i think that downloaded subs lack "attack". This probably has to do with the longer signal path to our ears as compared to a direct front radiating design and the damping of upper harmon... |
