| VH Audio AirSine 4yanx: I initially looked at the "raw" cabling that Chris uses as the base for his Flavour 4 power cords when he first came out with it. Some people were also using this by itself as speaker cabling. In the raw form, the cable is phenomenally micr... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Lapaix: I don't doubt that your homebrew air suspension device works quite well. The problem with many homebrew damping / isolation systems is that they either don't take the system / component resonance low enough in frequency ( like yours does )... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? El: The simpler the speaker i.e. the lack of a crossover or less complex of a crossover, the more apparent changes are in speaker cables. The more demanding the load of the speaker on the amp ( i.e. very low impedances ), the more apparent the cha... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Ultraviolet: You are right in the fact that it is not me vs Rsbeck. It is Rsbeck vs himself. If he had "true faith" in his "scientific doctrine", he wouldn't be afraid to put it to a simple test that would cost absolutely nothing. As mentioned, i ... | |
| Speaker distance and tow in?????/ Some speakers are designed to be up against or very near the front wall. As such, one should not assume that their speakers will benefit from doing this as it can drastically alter the tonal balance, etc... Then again, i'm assuming that you knew w... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? Good observation Jadem6 and welcome back. Glad to see a familiar moniker from the past show up again : )Much of what led me down the path to investigate this area of system building were "bad experiences" with a specific rack and timely posts made... | |
| VH Audio AirSine Grant: I emailed Chris about the lack of a link last night and he took care of the problem this morning : ) Sean> | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? El: I don't know if that was meant to be humorous as a comment about modern day technology and how things get "lost in the system" or to say that i'm bullshitting and didn't do any of the work i.e. an excuse. Believe me, i invested a great amount ... | |
| Anyone Tried Audiotop Stylus Cleaner? I would be concerned with using any "unproven" solvent on my stylus. If using too much liquid, the solvent can wick up the cantilever into the suspension components. This can either cause a slow but premature drying / cracking of the elastomers us... | |
| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? When you add mass, you simply lower the resonant frequency. On top of that, you also make it harder to stop the resonance once excited. By lowering the center frequency of the resonance, you also increase the potential to excite this resonance in ... | |
| VH Audio AirSine While i haven't seen or used one of these, it looks like Chris is really doing his homework and trying to offer the best products that he can. One of the biggest problems that i had with his "Flavour 4" cabling was the fact that it was so rigid du... | |
| Speaker upgrade question... Chad, i would recommend digging into the AR section of the forum archives at the Classic Speaker Pages website for specifics. If you've got further questions from there, drop me another line. Quite honestly, you don't have anywhere near enough pow... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Aball: You can't move onto bigger and better things until you can get the fundamentals right, hence the repeat of Kindergarten lessons before we move onto First Grade lessons. Some in the class simply refuse to learn or think / do for themselves. ... | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? I spent quite a long time typing out a very thorough yet somewhat easy to follow response to the above about Qms, loudspeaker design, resonances, the amplifier / speaker power transfer interface, etc... While attempting to perform another function... | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? Cdc: I've got to head out to the ear doctor and then off to work. I'll try to explain why Qms is important later tonight. What i'll have to say is controversial amongst most speaker designers / engineers, but the facts present themselves once one ... |
