| Any DIYer s out there ? Ehider, i think that we were posting at the same time. Thanks for sharing your insights with us. I've found pretty much the same things that you stated to be very true.As to your comments about Zobel / impedance compensation networks, they DO have... | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? Just to correct an error or misconception here, i am not an EE and have never been to any formal "school" for electronics. I am pretty much "self taught" via personal study while receiving "insights" from friends that are EE's or folks with their ... | |
| inexpensive room treatment options You have to be REAL careful when doing ANY type of absorption. Due to most "absorbers" not absorbing the entire frequency range in a linear fashion, they can actually do more harm than good.Egg crates, egg crate foam, drapes, etc... will all skew ... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? How is it then that i remember you as being one of the "wire is wire" crowd ? Am i mistaken ? Sean> | |
| I like my Absolute Power Cords HAHAHA.... Now THAT was a testimonial courtesy of Kjg. Sean> | |
| Belles vs Marsh Which Marsh preamp ??? Are you talking about the SS version with remote or the tube version ??? Sean> | |
| Tight Bass In regards to the terminology that you've chosen to use, i would instantly think of "rich / ripe" bass as being a by-product of either a tube amp and sealed speaker or a sturdy ss amp / vented speaker. Many people call this "musical" bass. This me... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? About five years ago i was going round and round with a bunch of "Extra" class amateur radio operators and EE's via the net about a specific subject. They kept quoting me all of this "text", blah, blah, blah, etc... that i was "wrong" or "mistaken... | |
| Stunned by a cable upgrade Thanks. I tend to get wordy ( noooo ???) but try to keep it un der stand able : )From the response that i've gotten from a few others that had similar results, AP's seem to do BAD things to speakers that are point sources. When trying to run a "si... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Steve, your example takes things to an extreme. How much "small gauge" wire would you have to run to increase the line loss to the level that you mentioned ??? I took and measured appr 20' of 21 gauge wire. This would be equivalent to a 10' run of... | |
| Do your Cables migrate thru your system? Sheesh Jim, your in bad shape. Not only did you have to clothe and feed the kids, now your supplying their "audio habit" too : )I'm kind of in the same boat. If it doesn't go into one of my five systems, some of my stuff works its' way into my Bro... | |
| Home theatre and Musical Experience This truly is a good thread. I posted something similar a while back with lesser results. It's good to see that the forum is both growing AND maintaining a high level of usable info. Kudos to all of you for helping out and sharing your experiences... | |
| Unusual Music Recommendation Speaking of Tom Waits, he seems to "taint" everything that he touches. He produced a cut on Primus' last disc and it is QUITE apparent. Not that it's a bad thing, just QUITE different than their normal sound. Sean> | |
| Best Movie Soundtrack Not much on soundtracks. Hi Fidelity & Dazed and Confused ( as listed above ) are good simply for remembering that time / era in my life. I wouldn't really call them "soundtracks" as i would normally think of soundtracks though.Since i do like... | |
| Absolute Power Cord does the trick Sam describes the cords as being 8 ft. in length while Estrnad's ad for them says 6 ft. long. Then someone else states that the current "production" cord no longer has the "green dot" hospital grade wall plug on it ? On top of this, the price has ... |
