| Can I make a crossover or buy one? Tried posting this last night, but for some reason, my connection went down. Maybe my server needs Viagra : )Jimmy, the closest thing that i could easily find would be part number 260-221 OR 260 - 220 at www.partsexpress.com One of those is design... | |
| Modification of Carver Amazing Platinums... Help Marchman, Thanks for the kind words. With that in mind, my advice to you is to look into contacting Rudi if at all possible. Mrcaspence1 and Mar4004 gave you some leads that might be easy to follow up on. Active bi-amping with a good crossover wil... | |
| Amp play a low volumes? My experience is that systems ( primarily speakers ) that tend toward warmth sound better at low volumes. This is probably due to how our ears work and perceive tonal balance at different volume levels. This is also why "mid-fi" gear comes with a ... | |
| "Baking" vibrapods smell issue. I wonder if they have the same after effects of "sliders" aka "White Castle hamburgers" if you eat them ??? Sean> | |
| Personal speaker evolution Very impressive lists for some of you folks. I'll have to shamefully admit that i too have owned Blose: 301's, 501's, 601's and 901's. Had my first component system when i was 13 and that included the 301's. It only got worse from there until i fi... | |
| do you need to tweak a tape deck??? Sarah:A) Yes, you are a snobB) We love you anyhow : )I've been meaning to send my decks in for cleaning, calibration, bias adjustment, etc... Are there any "alignment tapes" other than those mentioned that a civilian can purchase ? Any good source... | |
| High-end tweeks for a vintage Technics Tuntable While i basically agree with John ( Jvia ) almost word for word, i think that Kevin at KAB Electro Acoustics can give you a few tips on this table. Francisco aka Psychicanimal has a Technics and i think that he mentioned KAB as a source of good in... | |
| stacking speakers? Placing speakers that are being used near other speakers that aren't being used will cause "sympathetic resonances". In other words, the driver producing sound will excite the other drivers not being used. In effect, they would become indirectly c... | |
| Modification of Carver Amazing Platinums... Help Your best bet would be to contact Sunfire and ask for Carver technical assistance. They may be able to forward you a copy of the schematic or point you to someone that can. From there, it should be relatively easy to seperate the two sections of t... | |
| anyone else daisy chain "jitterboxes"? Thanks for the follow-up folks. I may give a Super Dip another spin sometime down the road. At the time i tried it, that specific system was in a state of transition ( aren't they always ??? ). Now that i have it dialed in a little better, it migh... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Greg, now you're getting somewhere. One can correct a lot of the problems of a multi-way system simply by getting rid of the passive crossovers or at least minimizing them down to the bare essentials. This is what Israel Bloom does with the Coinci... | |
| HELP Speakers sound brighter and 3D stage is lost Natalie is right about toe-in. That would put Sukhi directly on axis with the tweeters, making them appear to be even brighter than what he is dealing with now. This would also reduce soundstage width and tend to focus imaging to a smaller, but po... | |
| XM Radio home receivers Someone else was talking to me about this, but i can't remember who it was or the specifics. I've been told that they do have XM antennas designed for home installation, so i would imagine that XM tuners are right down the road if they aren't alre... | |
| transaction gone bad Any recourse for me? HELP If you can get the seller, who'll we'll refer to as Mr A. Hole for simplicity sake, to sign a waiver and forward the rights to any claim over to you, you can file a claim with UPS. Since you had already paid for the products, he was simply forward... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? The Bag End design is VERY unique to say the least. The designer was definitely thinking "outside the box" on that one.One of my friends used to work for Bag End and told me stories about them. Besides the cabinet's not being built too sturdily ( ... |
