| Hertz Meter Reading Device If I set a sat's level to be 85dB, by SPL meter, at 1K Hz and then set the sub's level to be 85dB at 40 Hz, why don't we attempt to compensate for the loudness curve and set the level higher than 85dB so the perceived level matches not the measur... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets But sales of expensive amplifiers depend on the audiophile's belief that quality/expense of any component is correlated with beautiful sound. In most amplfiers the single most expensive item on the BOM will be be the beautiful thick brushed steel... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets But what, exactly, constitues this "unreliability" of high end audio power supplies that you mention? And how would simlpy changing a household power outlet cause a significant change to the sound (via a change in output to the speakers) from said... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Br3098,Some of the high end audio equipment is so unreliable that almost anything can cause a change in response. In fact some equipment probably never sounds the same twice ever anyway. In this case, every change including the material used in th... | |
| Amp damping factor? An amp doesn't have a damping factor. Damping factor is the ratio of the rated impedance of the loudspeaker to the source impedance. The convention is to report Damping Factor into an 8 ohm load - so for pratical purposes one might say that power... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Yeah Booker's album also rocks with the best of 'em. | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system A PEQ will do the trick if you can't stomach acoustic treatments. | |
| Amp damping factor? This comes up regularly. A factor of 50 is enough. A factor of 500 means very little in terms of added advantage over a factor of 50. (Remember if you impedance drops to 2.6 ohms at the lowest point then 50 will still get you adequate damping but ... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Try Booker T - Neil Young & Drive By Truckers : Potato Hole . Every track is good and the sound is awesome (not compressed like Dave Mathews recent effort) - this is one that can go into heavy rotation. | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day There is really some amazing chemistry going on here. Booker's laid back style seems to really contrast to the aggressive guitar riffs by the Truckers. Raw Funk at it's best. Drummer is rock solid on the beat - Brad propels things along like a jet... | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Booker T. Jones has a new release titled "Potato Hole" check it out. I intend to. Meanwhile check this out WDR Big Band & Maceo | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system Forget cables - just get a PEQ and cut at 2Khz around 3 to 6 db and you'll be a happy camper. (Your room is too bright, your music is probably compressed and harsh sounding etc. - never mind the reason, most harshness comes out around 2 Khz - if y... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit There is an organization fighting the horrible compressed modern sound. So you CAN do something constructive about it. Many artists are becoming aware that their fans don't like the horrid sound of their work. | |
| Speaker cabinet construction.. All the VSA speakers make great music regardless of price point, and tend to outperform speakers costing magnitudes more Agreed - they are indeed exceptional value and that is their main strength. | |
| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer Shadorne, Have you ever dealt with Madisound? Of course they have clerks who take orders, but they also have an excellent technical staff, some who have been in the industry for a long time. No I have not. I get stuff from Solen. You are probably... |
