| benchmark and apogee That is a nice tweeter but it rings (like most metal drivers) - see the Cumulative spectral decay at 9000 Hz. Of course a speaker designer will try to notch filter this problem out and being a single frequency that is not hard to do - although at ... | |
| what do you know" David Salz is basically recommending low series resistance and low inductance in speaker cables. This is good advice.In interconnects you would want low parallel capcitance.The pitfall with seeking costly incremental percentage improvements in cab... | |
| Forward sounding speakers that Rock Of course you are not a Rush fanatic. Neither am I. I don't have a long haired wig and large glasses in my closet. I don't even know their secret handshake - . - - - . - - - - . . | |
| what do you know" Cables like capacitors do make a difference....case closed Capacitors indeed make a difference. Especialy when used in passive crossovers or coupling capacitors. There is no doubt that the MIT cable improved the sound MIT cables appear to use man... | |
| what do you know" Baroque_Lover,A suggestion: make sure to mention that you are "tin eared" on any thread that goes in this direction. If you admit to being inferior or just plain average when making these kind of observations then those who are certain of their su... | |
| Forward sounding speakers that Rock There is a world of difference between "sound reinforcement" pro speakers and those used for mastering or main monitoring. It is a valid concern (raised above) that most pro rock speakers are only "fun" and not High-end. Generally this is true.The... | |
| Forward sounding speakers that Rock As John suggests horns are a great idea for rock. Le Studio (Andre Perry & Nick Blagona) in Quebec was where many Rush albums were done including Moving Pictures. In the early 80's, bands like Police and Rush would have heard themselves played... | |
| Forward sounding speakers that Rock The 802D is designed with a hump in the bass and a scooped midrange. It is a great choice for rock. Rush moving pictures is one of their best. Originally mastered on ATC's by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk in NY (if you are like me then you have an old ... | |
| Toyota Camry LE has a Pretty Good Sound System Nice review! I doubt audio matters in determining your choice of vehicle though. FWIW Stock Prius is lousy. Stock 4runner is poor but 4runners have a lot of running noise (latest models are not as bad and sound systems are better). Landcruiser has... | |
| what do you know" Just wanted to say Happy Holidays , hope you get over yourself so that you will hear the music too!! And you guys too - those on both sides of the fence - those with ordinary cables and those with expensive ones - I believe Baroque has installed H... | |
| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? It was a great period - studio productions cost millions - the engineering quality was amazing - I am not sure we will ever get that again - great dynamics. You tend to only get the dynamics with dance genre these days - Kaskade etc. This slams to... | |
| what do you know" Alan uses 79 Strand copper I recommend that too. Great speaker wire - you get nice contact at the binding posts and very flexible - no stress on connectors. | |
| Best jvc xrcds..... Super Analog sound of Three Blind Mice | |
| Best Inexpensive Subwoofer I am not saying these amazing bargains do not sound great and punchy - I am just pointing out that reproducing 20Hz at reasonable SPL without copious amounts of distortion is nigh impossible from a small device -it is usually tough to achieve even... | |
| what do you know" Baroque_Lover,I wonder if anyone will take you up on your offer to make a test with a friend?I recall that Mike Lavigne did this exact type test about a year ago and was unable to pick one good cable over another good cable using his own system wh... |
