| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Actually, Shadorne, there is no bass viol on the recording. But, after listening to the track again, it might be a bass trombone, and it does, indeed, read lower than 36 Hz in my room. Bass Trombone won't go below about 60 Hz, as I recall David F... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Haven't there been times when wifey actually helped? Absolutely! She often travels on business. This creates an opportunity to install something new. A few weeks later she asks, "Hey, what's that new box over there in the corner of the basement f... | |
| Equalization and bass traps I agree 100% with Hhiggins.You will find that a parametric equalizer is ineffective above about 80Hz for standing waves room mode equalization. A typical room of 25 feet by 16 feet by 9 feet will have a total of six room modes below 60 Hz. At 120 ... | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first I second Duke. What he says is not nuts at all! You can find many fine integrated amps for $600 that sound very much like many a $6000 amp (only lacking power or some features).....but you will generally find a marked improvement in speakers up to... | |
| Crossover ? Passive Vs. Active I'm with Undertow and Tim196. Active is definitely better from a technical perspective but less flexible than passive for tailoring the sound to individual taste (particularly if you like added harmonics from tube power amps to warm or sweeten the... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Those who listen ---> use Vinyl, those who read datas listen ----> to Digits. Just like dining out, given the choice I will dine at best quality restaurant, (Vinyl) it that's is not available I eat at a midline place (CD). If nothing else ... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Gregm,It may be masochism or something else, or both. But, really, believe me, this ain't no nostalgia:) I think you hit the nail on the head. Nostalgia is for the Vinyl jackets themselves and the length of time they have been owned and when/where... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I am a bit bewildered by all these Vinyl eulogies...rather nostalgic IMHO. If Vinyl was so much better than other mediums then can someone expain why it has never been used as the reference storage medium for the audio industry. I mean why did the... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Paquito D'Rivera's "La Bella Cubana" from his album, Portraits of Cuba, Chesky JD145. With this recording even most of the 'full-range' speakers I've listened to flattened out before Roger Rosenberg's baritone sax hit bottom Thats a Bass Viol not... | |
| B&W 601 dented tweeter repair? Scotch tape will usually do the trick, metal dome may not be repairable...forget the vaccuum cleaner or Lovelace techniques...these don't work on tweeters | |
| What's the frequency response of vinyl? Check this out;RIAA Curve"A record is cut with the low frequencies reduced and the high frequencies boosted, and on playback the opposite occurs. The result is a flat frequency response, but with noise such as hiss and clicks arising from the surf... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Shadorne, yes, I have heard great things about the ATC products before, but they dont seem to be widely distributed or very well known.Could you please give more detail on your experiences with them? Which models? Passive or active? ATC is a UK c... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now ATC's midrange is still made - some 25 years on. So there still are some enduring products which are principally known for their outstanding mid range quality. | |
| RUSH on INHD... I agree wholeheartedly with Boa2 and ChadnLiz. As a Canadian and having lived in Toronto for several years, naturally I'm well familiar with Neil Peart.Neil has one of the best drum solos on the planet and is technically one of the very best ever.... | |
| why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals? When Racerx322 described four mid range drivers and a male vocal problem, I immediately jumped to what may be the wrong conclusion. I'll do more homework next time. Sorry Racer, for giving what may well be incorrect advice even it was well intende... |
