| Difference between "Watts" & "Currunts"? HAHHA.... Looks like we were doing this at the same time with both of us writing novels : ) Sean > | |
| Difference between "Watts" & "Currunts"? Wattage is a measurement of how much voltage AND current an amplifier can produce at a specific impedance. Most amps are rated with 8 ohms used as the reference level. This is a common rating for many speakers. While most amps would have no proble... | |
| Fast Amplifier Cornfed pretty much summed it up. The three terms that summarize a "fast" amp to me would be rise time, slew rate and ultra wide bandwidth. You can't have really wide bandwidth without having pretty solid measurements on the other two categories t... | |
| Pipedreams... Any thoughts? It sounds to me like they want to MAKE SURE that their customers are completely satisfied with the product. Part of this would be doing extensive follow up and consultation as needed. After all, you paid quite a chunk for those and they want you t... | |
| Does gauge of speaker cables matter? That would all depend on what frequency range the woofer covers, what specific wires were used and how you configured it. If you want specific answers, you need to provide more specific info. Sean > | |
| Does gauge of speaker cables matter? David, a simple rule of thumb is that doubling the size of the conductore takes you down three wire gauge sizes. In other words, two 16 gauge wires run in parallel = 13 gauge. In order to go measurably heavier than this, you would need four 16 gau... | |
| Internal Speaker Wiring ?? Hey Bob, not to change the thrust of this thread, but what Klipsch do you have ? I have a rather long list of mods that i've used on dozens of Klipsch speakers that many others have followed with great success. I know that at one point in time it ... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Thanks for the follow-up Redkiwi. I know others that use a similar approach as to what you do and they too are quite satisfied with it. While i have never ventured down that path myself, i might end up trying it soon enough. In terms of using the ... | |
| Floor Standing "Warm" Speaker Chalk up another vote for Vandy's. Since you didn't mention price range but did note the associated equipment, i'll leave you with the following comments. While the 2's basically fit your description ( except as noted in terms of efficiency ), i w... | |
| Internal Speaker Wiring ?? Albert's comments are not unique. Most current model speakers that are not "mass production scrap" are voiced using specific components. That includes the wiring. Altering the internal wiring can / does play with the end result of what you hear. T... | |
| High End and Classical Music I grew up listening to what is now referred to as "classic rock" courtesy of my Father and ended up getting into Punk during the first wave in 77. This turned into hardcore and then metal with all of its variations, etc... Getting back into "hi-en... | |
| Dissapating static electricity If you have a threaded rod rack, you can simply ground one of the rods and then touch it before any of your gear. If not, a simple piece of metal like a door handle or knob, etc.. could be attached to the side of the rack and grounded. It's visibi... | |
| Has anyone heard Dynaco tube CD player My brother has been looking for a Dynaco CD-V Pro for over two years now and we can't find one. I have also seen others post wanted ads for this specific model. As far as tubes in the Analog section of a CD player goes, they can make a WORLD of di... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Red, just to clarify something that i've been wondering, have you ever played with "mass loading" any of the equipment ALONG with the various types of isolation / damping type devices ? By this, i mean applying weight to the top of the component (... | |
| Biamplification in Mid-Fi? I'll be making a rather large purchase from Marchand very soon. I need several crossovers and was already planning on using his products. It's good to see others on this forum came to the same conclusions about his products that a few others that ... |
