| zobal networks ? I have no idea as to where you can find a good yet simple explanation of how or what a zobel does. In layman's terms, it is simply an impedance compensation device typically comprised of a resistor and capacitor wired together in series. This in t... | |
| Cheap Tweak..Mass Loading My findings support Albert's statements. This does not work on all things equally well and the weight needs to be varied somewhat. Doing this in conjunction with other tweaks can add up to a noticeable difference. Sean> | |
| Are Tara Labs cables a good match for me? I basically like most of the Tara's that i've tried. I would suggest contacted the folks at The Cable Company and running your ideas by them. They can offer their thoughts / opinions while PROBABLY providing you with some samples if you intend to ... | |
| Audio Cost Allocations There are various points of view as to whether the source is most important, the speakers, the amplification, etc... My theory is that a chain ( or audio system ) is only as strong as its' weakest link. As such, it has to be built around that prem... | |
| Why does my computer sound better than my CD player? I was a contributor to a thread about the AR cables, possibly the one that Sugarbrie referred to. I found them to be flat and dull sounding in my system but the owner of these cables found them to be VERY bright in his system. Since you are also c... | |
| Help Need to improve front end . . . I have to agree with both Soix and Rackon on two different points that they made. The EVS Millennium II is a fabulous buy for the money. How "great" it is in your system will depend on how good your transport and digital cable is along with other ... | |
| CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed? Their smaller amps were anything BUT "dark" or "rolled on top". I would have called them "lean and bright" if anything. The bigger amps are notably mellower from my experience. Either way, it's like anything else: system synergy and personal prefe... | |
| Any one want a laugh???? Kirk, while i agree with both your and Tim's point of view, i have to say that i don't know of too many people with systems that can do, let alone sustain, 120 db's at their listening position. Brief peaks don't count in my book : ) Sean> | |
| zobal networks ? Zobel networks can be used in several different ways. I assume that you are talking about installing them in the speakers themselves in each section ( woofer, mid, tweeter, etc...) of the crossover network ?I have heard through the grapevine that ... | |
| Speaker placement Duke, do you know how to fix all of the problems associated with a port ? It's really quite simple and cost effective. Stuff a large, wadded up wool sock or old t-shirt into it and then sell it. Buy some speakers that are stuffed and sealed with a... | |
| Sonical differences I would think that you would tend to run into different types of resonances when changing orientation. Vertical orientation would tend to become more susceptible to air-born vibrations whereas horizontal would be more susceptible to the increased ... | |
| Power Conditioners From my limited experience with various PLC's, i think you notice the biggest difference when you take them OUT of the system. Many of the improvements are subtle and take some time to notice / get used to. When you remove them from the system, yo... | |
| Audio Cost Allocations Sheesh Glen, do we have to spell everything out for you ??? Cornfed's system is obviously 126% better than even a 100% system. Do the math : ) Sean> | |
| Players, transports, DACs ?? I agree with all of the statements above. Unfortunately, economics comes into play. Most "one boxes" are built to a price point that is typically a little lower than a seperate DAC and Transport of the same appr retail. The "player" will typically... | |
| best interconnects sub 100 Pick up some Belden 89248 & 89259 along with the RCA's of your choice. Then follow the directions on Jon Risch's website as to what to do. If you do your homework and shop around, you can build a KILLER 1 meter stereo interconnect for about $3... |
