| Unusual parallel speaker cables - DIY Rod,I have seen contact problems many times in electronics. From batteries to transformers to plugs and sockets - anyplace that you have a connection. In some cases it is subtle and contact can be intermittent depending on the voltage applied. I r... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter American diner coffee used to taste awful everywhere but along came Starbucks and then everyone else pulled their socks up. You can now find good coffee nearly anywhere. We need a Starbucks speaker....one with good quality ingredients but that is ... | |
| Klipschorn speaker set-up They are designed to go in the corner for the bass. You need false corners otherwise you will lose the bass response.See this for an example. | |
| Unusual parallel speaker cables - DIY BTW - not to blame low cost $5 chinese banana plugs unfairly but in all the messing around it may also be possible that you have bent one of the banana plugs imperceptably and this is what is giving you a contact resistance issue whereby all the c... | |
| Unusual parallel speaker cables - DIY BTW - I'd also get rid of the bananas - I don't like these - it is far better to crush a stranded speaker wire severely in a binding post than rely on a $5 banana pin connector that may or may not be the correct size/tolerance for your binding pos... | |
| Unusual parallel speaker cables - DIY I would check carefully that you do not have a contact problem somewhere. It sure looks as though the additional cable is adding weight and causing a significant bending moment on your banana plugs and binding posts. FWIW - this may be affecting c... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter BTW - I would add that many ordinary tweeters compress quite badly - yes really - even the ones on five figure speakers. FWIW - I would be more concerned with the quality of the transducers producing the all too audible frequencies between 60 Hz a... | |
| Which way to go to built a music server?? Use Apple Airport express and connect APExpress via Toslink cable (with mini jack adapter on one end) to the DAC to get the digital signal into the DAC. Would be the cheapest because I do have the cable, the APExpress and an iPod touch to control... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter is it worth my money... regards forevermusic414 Only you can decide. FWIW There is not much above 15Khz that most adults can hear. If you want to improve on a tweeter that rolls off at 12KHz then by all means go for it - however, for the money, I... | |
| Which component upgrade will produce more BASS? Rauliruegas,Good link. I did not read the entire thread but I realize that I do share your views about the terrible amounts of distortion from typical bass in both subwoofers and most speakers. This is why I recommend large woofers with large moto... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age But this time, I bought the one that was identified as "New," because this discussion makes me wonder to what extent I'm being complicit in unethical behavior when I buy a used CD. There is a difference though. If you own the original media (even... | |
| Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD? "Has anyone noticed that 720p TVs seem to look slightly better on hi def TV and regular DVD? "It is an issue of pixels. If you have a TV with 1920 x 1080 pixels then it will display HD 1080P as perfectly as possibly. If you have a different number... | |
| Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner don't think computers are the culprit here since before the installation of noise destroyers, the sound of my system was actually darker. Right now, it sounds a lot more energetic like it has been given a vitamin drink. What you are describing, h... | |
| Which component upgrade will produce more BASS? Agree with Bill. Change the speakers. By lower mid bass I take it you mean kick drum (rather than a subwoofer) is your main need. If you want to go serious then get something with at least a 10 or 12" woofer (I would add to check the voice coil si... | |
