| Best matching speaker cable for my rears .35ft run I would try to stick within the same family / brand of cable that you're using for your mains if at all possible. It doesn't necessarily have to be the same specific model ( probably WAY too expensive to do that ). This will become more critical i... | |
| OK to place amp on top of subwoofer? Craig, i think that we are all basically saying the same things. None of us really likes the idea in theory but it may work out okay in reality. As i stated "would i recommend it, probably not". However, i don't know all of the variables in the si... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Sheesh, some of you folks amaze me to say the least. I'd like to have some of the "old junks" from some of those lists : ) Quite impressive to say the least. Having that many different speakers and the associated listening / fine tuning experience... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Rwwear, your comments regarding "bass speed" are WAY off in left field. What is typically referred to as "fast bass" is a low frequency system that suffers from minimal overhang, ringing and has excellent transient response on the whole. To achiev... | |
| Amp play a low volumes? Actually, there has been a more exhaustive study conducted some time after the Fletcher-Munson materials were presented. It supposedly delves deeper and with more accuracy as to exactly what takes place in our ears in terms of volume vs frequency ... | |
| Modification of Carver Amazing Platinums... Help If you wanted to go all out ( HA !!! Who wouldn't "like" to ??? ), one could probably make even further gains by actively bi-amping and using 4 identical mono-blocks for amps. It is commonly known that most ribbons / planars / E-stat's can be diff... | |
| 40hz ratings/speaker response Speakers of various designs and tuning will respond differently when fed a signal below their natural resonance ( point of max output ). Well designed acoustic suspension ( sealed box ), infinite baffle ( designs that make use of huge volumes of a... | |
| Has anyone heard of ZYX cartridge from Japan? This is supposedly the same company that made the Monster Alpha series of cartridges that are pretty highly regarded. That's about all i know / have heard about them. Sean> | |
| OK to place amp on top of subwoofer? No offense to Jeff or his answer, but if a non-mechanical component ( cd player, TT, etc.... ) can't deal with vibration, it is poorly built and under-designed. If you think about all of the "vibration" that any car audio component has to deal wit... | |
| BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD If Ted's suggestion doesn't solve your problem, i would directly contact BAT via phone or email or drop Victor Khomenko a line via the Asylum's email system. As you may or may not know, Victor is a regular on the forums there. He's the kind of man... | |
| Marantz SA-12 I am scared... I would instantly snag it and check it out at that price. If you don't like it, you can always at least double your money : ) Sean> | |
| Have you tried "doping" your speaker cones? Those are good pointers from Herman and Maxgain as to a source for "doping compound". As to the whizzers, the reason that i asked is that i've heard of some people using high density foam tucked between the main cone and the whizzer. Basically the... | |
| Rumble Filter for my Linn LP-12 setup ?? Weiserb, those two folks bring up VERY valid points. I would first work on getting the table isolated better. This can be done with sorbothane footers, sandboxes, innertubes, vibrapods, constrained layer damping, etc... The approach that you take ... | |
| Rumble Filter for my Linn LP-12 setup ?? Thanks for reminding me about KAB. I wanted to put in an order last night and lost my connection to the net : ) Sean> | |
| Have you tried "doping" your speaker cones? Twl, how could you do that ? What you did is both illegal and immoral. This is not to mention that you might have even gotten your drivers "hooked". For shame, for shame...Actually, i've heard many positives about doing something like that. I can ... |
