| Most accurate sub under 1,500 used JL F113 or SVS PB ultra 13. Take your pick. these are both very good (low distortion) above 40Hz. The SVS will be more musical with at least two of the ports plugged (lower group delay). The JL F113 is musical from the get go. | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot Lightning in a Bottle DVD is worth getting. I'd also recommend Keb 'Mo - excellent quality recordings. Oh and Stones earliest stuff (remastered by Bob Ludwig) | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? I don't own a single Diana Krall album. Any suggestions on where to begin? Good for you! I have several albums and only ever played them once. I find it very puzzling why she is so popular. My loss I guess - try as I might I simply don't get it -... | |
| active X-over I think the only way to tell would be to take some measurements. I don't think I tell purely by ear. Typically the biggest problem in full range free standing speakers is the broad suckout somewhere between 100 and 300 HZ - it can be a real devil ... | |
| Frequency Response Measurement Question I'd suggest to check your bass management - perhaps settings were not identical as you first thought. As for high frequencies, these are quite location dependent - is it possible you moved the meter a few inches between measurements? | |
| Your Favourite Remix Albums/CDs Synthfreek,Did you ever play Myst (the game)- I listened to the links you gave and it immediately made me thing of the Myst soundtrack. Awesome sound. | |
| AC Power Line Conditioners The APC is designed to work with power amps, analog and digital sources (separate AC outlets for each) at $149 it is a no brainer. | |
| Your Favourite Remix Albums/CDs Try also Classic Alternatives 12" Rare Extended Retro Hits which has such a nice selection of rare extended mixes.Any anything from Hi-Bias Records Inc. in Canada - these guys have audiophile ears - very nice mastering. | |
| Emerald Physics: Same as the Quads in the fifties? Shadorne, I like your suggestion a lot. In fact, I own a pair of Piquet-restored ESL 57, which are "only" 35 years old. Exactly my point, if it were still manufactured today then it would be truly revolutionary, as it is i t had a good run! Time ... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system One thing that many of you critics of multi-channel forget is that Mig007 has matched speakers...IMHO, if you use different speakers that were not specifically intended and voiced (matching timbre) to work together in a multi-channel system then y... | |
| Your Favourite Remix Albums/CDs If you are looking for sound quality then Duran Duran "Strange Behaviour" has all the Nile Rodgers & Co extended mixes. The dynamics are nearly on par with Sheffield Labs Drum track CD - so not for any systems that are "faint hearted". (I mean... | |
| Last song on most LP's pressed with compression Reb1208,What you say is a reality. The way you get round it is to put a quiet track on the inner groove so it won't be as noticeable. The other option is to drop additional tracks and make the overall LP shorter. Since it is a physical problem the... | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? ACDC track pack is a hoot. (Live at Donnington) You can be a prude with your kids or gran kids ( huh - silly games - "I don't do that")Try living a little - stretch the envelope - and you might find yourself having fun! | |
| Emerald Physics: Same as the Quads in the fifties? Do you think the analogy is appropriate? Only time will tell whether this is a flash in the pan. There are very few products that stand the test of time. Since you profess an interest in excellent speakers, I'd suggest you try to find a speaker t... | |
| Can you adjust the phase between subs and mains? Ken,The phazer device appears to be just a variable delay. I don't think it does any more than the delay setting in your DSP amp. If you want to perform phase compensation across the bass between the mains and subwoofer then you'll need to examine... |
