| ultra low capacitance cables The spec's on the Bogdan cabling are very misleading due to their construction. The nominal impedance of this cable will vary wildly due to the unequal spacing between the conductors over the length of the cabling. This means that the signal will ... | |
| Speaker repair-need help No "support legs" necessary. I figured that part out long ago ; ) As far as a frequency response of 120 Hz - 22 Khz, "decent" Ohm F will do WAY below 20 Hz up to somewhere between 15-17 KHz. If anything, i'd rather sacrifice some of the bottom end... | |
| ultra low capacitance cables I've done a search for Bogdan cables and can't find anything on the net other than comments in various AV forums. Bogdan Audio as listed in Agon's manufacturers listings only shows turntables and tonearms as products. Any help here??? Sean> | |
| bridging a b&k st202 to mono Bdgregory: I've owned several different B&K amps and never seen that info either. Then again, these were all older amps and B&K was never much on owner's manuals per se, hence my questions to Jeffrey. As to running one channel of an amp, t... | |
| bridging a b&k st202 to mono Jeffrey: I've never tried doing anything like that nor would i ever recommend such a configuration. I can think of a million different reasons why i wouldn't want to try anything like that, especially given the quality control on this type of prod... | |
| bridging a b&k st202 to mono Running the channels in parallel to the same voice coil requires massive circuit re-working, much more than the simple circuit required for bridging. Sean> | |
| bridging a b&k st202 to mono Contact B&K directly and ask for Jerry in Technical support. From what i can remember, they don't recommend doing this with any of their earlier amps. Sean> | |
| How Screwed Am I? This won't solve your bass problems, but it will get you WAY better sound for a very good price. Just going to some small yet "decent" speakers may give you the richer, fuller sound that you desire. Sean>http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?s... | |
| ultra low capacitance cables Brent: You're in a situation that i don't normally deal with. After reviewing it, it has helped me to better understand a few things about mass produced tube based systems and why they sound as they do. I really have to think about this a bit and ... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes Drseid: Based on the content of the original question, the poster didn't own the specific Legacy's mentioned at the time. While i may be making a big assumption here, i would guess that they would like as much info about a potential product as is ... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes I made a BIG mistake here. I confused the design of the Whisper ( multiple stacked and staggered mids ) with that of the Focus ( vertical array ). As such, some of my comments, primarily those about lobing within the horizontal plane of the Focus,... | |
| Speaker repair-need help El: As i mentioned, i've actually contemplated building and marketing such a design from the ground up. I've been thinking about this for quite some time, but it is probably "just a thought". Either way, i've bitten my tongue in this area on purpo... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes Froggerz: People can like whatever they want. Given that this is an open discussion forum where different people share different points of view and exchange ideas, it would be nice to have some idea as to where someone is coming from i.e. having a... | |
| Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps Bob: Nope, never messed with Shalco's but from what you've said, the tension must be pretty high. From what i can gather, you're using the larger diameter knob as sort of a "gear reduction torque multiplier". In this case, form follows function, s... | |
| Speaker repair-need help Joe: When i was talking to Bill, i was going to mention your name, but i ended up getting sidetracked with the conversation that we were having. Needless to say, i was glad to have found someone that shared my love of this speaker and the specific... |
