| High End jargon; your take Well I always knew that audiophiles were analytical but this thread seems to have taken a nasty turn. | |
| Smooth treble I like the wine analogy. It is very hard to find good new world wines that do not taste like grape juice - most are just way over the top in flavoring (like some speakers). You are absolutely right about wine being intended to be a balanced drink ... | |
| High End jargon; your take "Tight" as in "the bass became more tight." This is determined by system Q - an overdamped, critically damped or underdamped system. Q of less than 0.5 is tight. (impression is less bass until you turn it up and then it seems like someone is firi... | |
| Smooth treble It is all to do with waterfall...driver resonance is what messes up treble. Soft domes treated with damping material on the fabric work well.It is often a fight between on one hand stunning brochure quality frequency response plots versus a not so... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? I read somewhere that Tweeter was planning a reverse takeover of Hooters. | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way "Far field" is 8' from the speakers? 8 Feet "+" - I think in your haste you missed the "+". If you prefer to draw the line at 10 feet then I would not argue with you. And a two-way just cannot "do it"? Perhaps you missed the conditions I gave for... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way I'd agree with Shadorne in general. Yes - that is exactly what I meant - "in general". It does not mean you can't find something that will work outside this "general" envelope - say in a particular situation or requirement.I'd add that a two way ... | |
| Ultimate test of your system image It all makes perfect sense... | |
| New LPs with CDs inside The Petty release is something of a break-through insofar has he allows that purchasers of audiophile vinyl might also enjoy an uncompressed CD. What a concept! Tom Petty happens to be an audiophile. He is also probably trying to make a statement... | |
| Subwoofer Frequency Response question Conversely, is the idea behind <1m to keep the suckout in the same region as bass peaks in a typical room? Given the variation in peaks from room to room, this strikes me as quite a risky approach. I see I missed this. The idea of going close ... | |
| You've Won the Lottery: Your Dream System, Now. I'd simply hire D'Arcy and Whitaker and tell them to select the equipment and build whatever they wanted without compromise. Make it better than anything else they have done. I'll readily admit I am no expert so given the money I'd let these exper... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way Two way is good for nearfield (3 to 6 feet). Generally three way is needed for far field (8 feet +). A two way just cannot do it all (cover the enormous bandwidth with two drivers and do this with low distortion and even dispersion at the higher S... | |
| like to buy a dac? You need to think carefully. Generally to get BD to what you need for two channel you will need a DSP (something that gets you a "phantom center" and allows for sub or no sub in order to integrate LF info in the 0.1 channel). Most ordinary standal... | |
| Subwoofer Frequency Response question does the size of the suckout change predictably as Fc changes. The suckout will be less as you get further from the rear wall (fall off with distance - double the distance = 6 db SPL drop in the strength of the rear wall reflected wave). Bear in ... | |
| Brass screw tweak, seen in Virtual Dynamics video. I wonder how fantastic your system has to be for you to notice the difference using this tweak. Definitely important on mounting air core inductors where screws are close to the coil.I have my doubts whether a tweeter would be affected audibly fr... |
