| How to go from RCA to XLR? My thanks to Shadorne for calling this paper to my attention. You're welcome - Bill Whitlock used to work at Capitol Records - he is a member of IEEE and AES. What he says is obviously designed to help raise awareness and promote Jensen products ... | |
| JL Audio f112 blown speaker? After sending in my subwoofer to JL Audio they tracked down the problem to a preamplifier component in the sub. I beat the odds and got two of them with the same exact issue in a row. Sounds like they changed supplier or got a bad batch. These th... | |
| High End jargon; your take Now we are getting somwhere! ...somewhere between Grace Jones and Alison Moyet possibly? | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Paul,I understand you prefer two way for all applications because of the one less crossover - less compromise - that makes sense - speakers are often a balance of compromises - like how do you place the crossover away from teh critical midrange if... | |
| High End jargon; your take I third Rodman's comments - spot on - exactly right - that is just how it all sounds! Well said! Although a high Q system (underdamped) can sound pleasant (with plenty of bass for a small WAF friendly design) it will not convey the lower octaves c... | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Harold Faltermeryer, Thomas Dolby, Trevor Horn, Alex Sadkin, Robert Miles...Great thread. | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations I am surprised I don't see Wendy Carlos - now that is going back to synth roots - remember Clockwork Orange! Also no mention of Depeche Mode (Vince Clarke) and his subsequent work Alison Moyet (Yaz). And Human League - classic stuff - especialy th... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Duke,Thanks for your comments. I agree that things have improved since this landmark design. One thing I was curious as to what is the difference between a flat chested bi-radial horn and a Dolly Parton bi-radial horn ;-)Does one horn sound more c... | |
| Basic electrical questions. Al,You are correct about ground loops - usually ground and neutral are connected at the electrical panel. If you have different equipment plugged in to different locations and then chained together for audio purposes there is indeed a greater risk... | |
| budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough? The pixel count is the most important. Not all TV's cover the full 1920 x 1080 which you need for full BD quality.Plasma is way better than LCD ( I have both ) | |
| Smooth treble Ralph has a good point. Non musical added harmonics would not be smooth (Amp xover distortion - clipping etc.) Jitter would also not be smooth. The musically unrelated stuff (just like non musical driver resonance) is generally harsh or "etched" s... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Best 2-way as in.. Biggest-Baddest-Loudest? How about a definite contender for "Best 2-way that can compete with a big bad three way for farfield use?" (seeing as a three ways main advantage over a two way is broad even dispersion and generally a... | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? So both output amplifier sections would still be driven, and therefore the result would be no reduction in output power capability, just a 6db reduction in gain as I and Atmasphere indicated. This is correct. The problem of using RCA to XLR (apar... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions I suspect you are not able to 'dampen' the vibrations from the wood block or corion table. Squash balls was the right idea. Spikes are a bad idea. Personally I'd try memory foam next or a different sized wood block and platter - to me they both lo... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Let's not forget that the 4430/35 was a landmark design that became JBL's most succesful monitor - see this JBL Paper. The 4430/35 replaced many previous three and four way designs - it has extremely impressive even dispersion (power response) AND... |
