| Copy protection Buy a stand alone audio CD burner and you can copy anything you want. The cost of blank CD's are slightly higher, but a portion of that is refunded directly back to the music industry as they know that these specific blank discs WILL be used for m... | |
| Need help on power supply caps Believe it or not, most electrolytics work best if run closer to their voltage ratings. I am NOT saying that you should run them up to their voltage limit, but that a lower voltage rating may actually perform better AND fit where the stock caps we... | |
| will eggleston works andra 2 rock While a smaller baffle size may do great things for imaging and placement within the soundstage, it also typically equates to reduced low frequency output and extension. This means having to push the driver harder to achieve "wallop". This results... | |
| Looking for Bass.... Maggies will never deliver "oomph" type bass. NEVER. It does not matter what they are connected to. Having said that, your amp is plenty powerful ( 600+ wpc @ 4 ohms ), but the bass is somewhat lean or on the "highly controlled" side of neutral. C... | |
| Hi Fi burnout. I think that this is a lot more common than we would like to think. Most of this results from reading too many glossy mags, on-line reviews and audio forums where every product mentioned is "as good or better than anything i've ever heard in my li... | |
| Calling all electricians for advice on wiring home Albert: I cracked up when i read your story. I bet you got "a little excited" when you saw "glow in the dark" eyes coming at you, especially eyes that big. With our minds working the way that they do and you being in such a dark and dirty space, i... | |
| Speaker toe-in & stereo imaging I agree wholeheartedly with Newbee's comments suggestions above.I would also like to add that the wider you space the speakers apart, the more likely you will have to toe them in. The more toe in that you use, the narrower that the sound stage wil... | |
| Slew Rate? While those are good points Steve aka Audioengr, how many "ultra-fast" components have you ever seen that suffer from severe over or under-shoot? This is not to say that all "fast" components are properly designed / stable into every load possible... | |
| Sota Head Amplifer - I need some answers. John Curl responded to some questions about this unit over at Audio Asylum several years ago. You might try doing a forum-wide search there using SOTA phono amp or SOTA head amp as the key words. Sean> | |
| Crackling sound when using a DAC This is a more common problem with newer CD players and most DVD players. From what i can recall, there's "probably" a very simple modification that can be done to your DAC to correct this problem. I had to perform a similar mod to some 24 bit CAL... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued El: One would have to have an equal yet opposite controlled reaction that responded on a phenomenally time sensitive basis in order to cancel the type of resonances that we are discussing here. Given that a tonearm has freedom of movement in both ... | |
| Slew Rate? Talk about confusing !!!!"Frequency response" on an amp is typically rated at 1 watt of output whereas "power bandwidth" is rated at full rated power. An amp that may have a frequency response of 1 MHz at 1 watt may only have a "power bandwidth" a... | |
| Dilemma If you want to take your speakers to the next level, here are some basic tips that will have you shaking your head in disbelief. They aren't listed in any specific order and all work together to form a more complete package.1) Bypass all of the fa... | |
| Dilemma Now we are talking turkey. What parts were restored / upgraded on the 9's? I'm very familiar with the 9's and am interested to see what someone else did to theirs. Most folks that have them are afraid to really go to town on them, yet the speakers... | |
| Multi-Channel Amp questions First of all, 75 dB's is WAY quiet for most movies and is a useless figure based on theory and not reality.Secondly, your power input vs spl output doesn't take into account thermal compression of the speakers. Now add the fact that you are probab... |
