| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Smaller drivers can produce low bass IF the cone is of a high mass design and capable of long excursion. There are several problems here though. That is, why would you want to use a smaller woofer of higher mass? This reduces both transient respon... | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. Tvad: Not to sidetrack the thread, but the logical deduction about your experience with the Denon and the Sistrum was that there was too much "coulomb friction" for the drive to work properly. Glad you were able to solve the issue with something a... | |
| Breaking in power cords Warren: "overcooking" an IC has more to do with the improper design of the cooker being used, not so much the length of cooking. A simple test would be to cook the cable for a period of time and then pull it and listen. Typical signs of "over-cook... | |
| Need Help with Koss CM-1030 speakers Dave, believe it or not, i still have not resolved the problems with these speakers. After trying to get them straightened out and running into one problem after another, i set them off to the side. After sitting for a long period of time, i ended... | |
| Sonic difference 1.0m vs 1.5m digital cable Digital is an RF signal and changing cable length with an RF signal WILL alter the response of the circuit. This is true UNLESS the input, output and cable impedance are all identical. Anybody that tells you differently lacks experience in this sp... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord That's a good point Chris. Bob likes to use the Schurter's, which may be why he wants to solder rather than crimp. As to soldering vs crimping, i think that a lot of this has to do with how good of a connection that one can make with a crimp and t... | |
| where to look,explanation of tube amps, i know If you want to learn about tube circuitry, this should help, even at a discount price : ) Sean> | |
| Breaking in power cords Warren: I too noticed that we agreed on something. It is nto the first time and i'm sure that it won't be the last : )Cooking an interconnect regardless of how many hours of actual use it has on it will typically improve the performance of the cab... | |
| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? Great responses from very level headed Agon members. Sean> | |
| Breaking in power cords Fatparrot's suggestion to use one of those little "ceramic" space heaters should work great. On low power, they pull about 750 watts and on high power, most are up around 1250 - 1500 watts of draw. This is steady state draw too, so there is a lot ... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord Listener: Never worked with the Walker stuff, so i have no idea as to whether it would improve the performance or not. From what i gathered, it is basically some type of conductive grease with silver particles imbedded in it. Given that one would ... | |
| Pass vs. Edge When comparing amps of this quality, you better have AT LEAST a good dedicated 20 amp line just for the amp. As a side note, the newer Pass amps are using better quality rectifiers in the power supply, so the bass should sound both more defined an... | |
| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of Audiomax: I think that we are in the same boat. I read the descriptions of these discs and none of them comes across as exciting to me. That's why i posted the question that i did. I was hoping that someone else was brave enough to go out on that ... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord These cords put to use very simple and commonly understood factors of electrical conductivity. Why other companies have such a hard time of doing or understanding this, i don't know. There are ways to improve the design of this cable even further,... | |
| speaker cable for HT HT is FAR less picky in terms of basic componentry and set-up. This is why many of the "videophiles" find the extremes that "audiophiles" go to quite "silly" or "over the top". Buy good stuff that offers great bang for the buck and be done with it... |
