| Do You Hear Print-Through on Trinity Revisited? It may be pre-echo from the adjacent groove which is common enough on Vinyl and can happen when cutting masters for stamping (print-through is an issue with analog tapes and it can affect BOTH vinyl and digital if the effect has its roots on the A... | |
| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer As several others have correctly pointed out - if you can't easily (& cheaply) get the exact same model driver then it would be sensible to go with Vandersteen for repair in order to keep your speakers standard (better resale as nobody wants t... | |
| JL Audio f112 or f113 sub? FWIW The CS3.4 has a lot of bass already so the main benefit may be to supplement it for two channel and to protect your mains when listening to movies with heavy bass. An F113 should get you around 110 db SPL clean usable LF in your room. That sh... | |
| Using stereo and 5.1 receivers on same speakers? Get a good quality DSP - feed your TV cable box BD or whatever digital to the DSP and use the passthru analog two channel with your CD player.High end DSP's are not all bad like they were 10 years ago and many have dedicated good quality two chann... | |
| JL Audio f112 or f113 sub? It depends mostly on your SPL level needs. 1 F112 might be enough, if not go for 1 F113 and if still not enough go for 2 F112. | |
| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer With cheaper drivers you should simply replace them with new drivers. Make sure you get the same model driver. Only high quality drivers ($500+ each) are usually worth re-coning. | |
| Dynaudio breakin period They won't change much but perhaps your hearing will adjust. Sonic memory takes a while for you to adjust to how your favorites (well known tracks) now sound. | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? See here for plenty of great alternative suggestions with no mention of Wilson Sophia. I like the last suggestion - Active PMC great detail but not fatiguing. | |
| Speaker cabinet construction.. Es347,I missed your reply until today. You make a good point. Actually I have no axe to grind with VSA but, as you point out, perhaps I am overly distrustful of most technical claims made by audio manufacturers...especially given that most designe... | |
| Sub Cable Effect Technically, how is this possible when the only change is the sub cable? Sorry but there is no plausible technical explanation other than perhaps you reversed the phase or the previous connection was faulty or you changed something else like volu... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit Novices can indeed hear differences. They may be less able to describe them and slower to identify errors. However, there is no substitute for training to improve skills. | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Oh and let's not forget Pet Shop Boys, OMD, and Erasure. Great stuff! Ultravox, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Thompson Twins, Thomas Dolby, Yaz, Visage and lets not forget the pretty boys - Duran Duran - their "Strange Behaviour" double CD has some ... | |
| DEQ2496 - Jitter issue Surprinsiggly, I found that the DAC 1 was not sounding as good as the analog output of the DEQ. Then I think you have nothing much to worry about. | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Also, measured distortion is only one among many criteria that determine sonics, whether in loudspeakers or in CDPs Agreed good point - like phase for example - you can get a big difference in soundstage/imaging even though timbre may be the same... | |
| DEQ2496 - Jitter issue I'd suggest to get something like a Benchmark DAC1 on lone froma guitar or music store and experiment. There are so many variables that it is hard to say whether you have jitter or not. For sure it could be a problem depending on your gear, connec... |
