| klipsch speakers,be honest Marco: Take the top off of your La Scala's, pull the horns & crossovers and then open up the woofer chamber. In the long run, you're going to leave this open and seal the rear of the horn chamber that used to be open. You may have to do some f... | |
| Review: CM Labs 914 Amplifier I remember CM making a motional feedback subwoofer back in the 1970's, which was way ahead of the times. Never heard any of their products, but they always seemed interesting. Sean> | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest My experiences with anything but the "vintage" Klipsch models is less than enthusiastic and even the "vintage" models need a LOT of help in my opinion. The main things that the "vintage" models have going for them is that they are very simple desi... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest I was refering to La Scala's primarily, but the comments apply to any of the "vintage" series Klipsch units in one way, shape or form. Obviously, the smaller non-horn woofer designed Heresy's and Cornwall's would have to be handled differently, bu... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest It's too bad that Villchur and Klipsch didn't work together and solve their differences. We would have had a highly linear speaker that was phenomenally efficient with great dynamics. I've got both "vintage" Klipsch and "vintage" AR's that are bot... | |
| Installing Bucket Magnets I know that Michael Percy sells some shielding kits, but i don't know exactly what he offers or how expensive it is. Doing a search on the web might turn up some "non-audiophile" suppliers with both a wider variety and slightly better pricing. Sea... | |
| Installing Bucket Magnets Why not obtain some mu-metal and install a layer inside the cabinet on the side facing the TV? Minimal changes to driver parameters, less loss of internal space than large magnets ( which nobody else mentioned and will change the tuning of the box... | |
| Installing Bucket Magnets This changes the electrical parameters of the drivers which needs to be accounted for PRIOR to the final design of the speaker. Proceed at your own risk. Sean> | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Line: Most of my comments are based on the "antique" series of Ohm speakers i.e. the ones that used free-standing Walsh drivers, not the regular drivers that are housed in a cage that increases diffractional losses making them sound more "ambient"... | |
| Speaker design myths revealed Placing the driver in the center of a circular baffle will produce increased non-linearities in response. This is due to the consistent spacing in all directions of the baffle and the baffle related diffraction / reflections that take place. If us... | |
| Speaker design myths revealed Thanks for providing a link ; )1) Larger baffles increase bass response, which is what he's after with this specific design. There are trade-off's associated with increased baffle dimensions though, but he's obviously willing to take them in order... | |
| high ac voltage destrucive or not? You're right on the edge of being high enough to cause damage to some gear. Much of this will depend on the individual component and how it is designed.Keep an eye on the voltage for a few days and chart the voltages and the day / time that you ta... | |
| Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed As discussed over at AA, this is at least very similar to a production Eupen power cord that can be purchased in small quantities directly from Eupen's US distributor. There is some controversy as to whether or not it is a stock Eupen model or if ... | |
| Replacement cartridge for a Scott PS-87A turntable Cartridges are either what is called a "Universal" mount or a "P mount". My guess is that your Scott probably uses a "universal" mount. This pretty much leaves the door wide open for you with the only main concerns being budget and the type of pho... | |
| Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed For sake of clarity, are you guys talking about a power cord designed for use with digital products or an interconnect designed for use as a digital link between transport & DAC? Sean> |
