| alternated method for storing compact discs I use Sony CD Megachangers and Titletrack Jukebox software to control them from my Mac Mini. It is great. I get to browse, search, select, play and cue music from any CD ...it will even stagger music for continuous play. I have the album art also.... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo III break in time? There might be material applied to the inside of the mid range cones in order to dampen them. Hard material cones (ceramic and metallic) have a greater tendency to ring like a bell (=distortion) than fibrous paper cones or fabrics . Paper and fabr... | |
| Speaker Channel Burn-In Offset tweeter and mid is mainly to reduce edge diffraction so that power distribution remains even. Most manufacturers do not specify a left or right (even when tweeter or mid is offset). | |
| Caps as high-pass filters Adjusting the filter between sub and speakers can make small differences and improve the match. Most DSP amps will allow you to do this. (Filter slopes are typically between 24 db/octave and 12 db/octave.) However, adding a capacitor in order to m... | |
| Mixed Results from My Hifi The albums you name sound best in a car but they should still sound very good on your system; they will sound slightly boosted in the mid range and overly compressed. As with many CD's lately, they have been mastered to sound loud (meaning somewha... | |
| Speaker replacement advice SC-V's were a popular mastering monitor. You might want to check out this review>http://mixonline.com/mag/audio_highend_studio_monitor/index.htmlTo summarize, the review says ATC 300's have an advantage in dynamics and SPL levels; rockers liked... | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? Dave_b,I am not surprised something more ordinary from Monster cable sounded better. I have always been suspicious of $20K cable rigs that change the character of the sound. Happy listening with your new cheaper cables. great that you get enjoymen... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Bravo Tvad, Eldartford and WarrenhCould not agree more. I actually use the PEQ from the Behringer (feedback destroyer pro) . It works great. It is even cheaper! I manually set this up and just use it for ultra LF frequency adjustments but there is... | |

| whats your idea of loud music. Old thread here but I agree with Tvad...105db continuous at the listening position is in the range of live music with peaks an extra 10db above that. Above this level I find my ears protesting and I would never listen for long periods at this leve... | |
| Review: EMM Labs DAC6e Signature Edition DA converter Oneobygon,Great review. I enjoyed your enthusiam for EMM Labs gear - no question that this is undeniably some of the best gear on the planet.

| CAN I RUN 50HZ AMP ON 60HZ? I have not had any problems in the US running a 220 Watt per channel power amp and preamp (designed for 50 Hz 220 V)with a step up transformer. The current demand will be roughly double what it would normally use at 230 V, which may be higher than... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Macrojack,Others have answered your question very well and better than I could."Small" can be of the order of a few feet at low frequencies.As Dave points out above, a small amount of EQ (Behringer, Rane, Rives Parc or other PEQ) can help smooth o... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? This question is for those of you that have experienced huge improvements with changing a power cord (and not the objectivists or unbelievers who refuse to hear any difference);Aren't you the least bit concerned that your audio setup might be over... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Jafox,I read your interesting thread on Power Conditioner to the Rescue and how you had very little prior sucess with power cords. This is probably because the Eclipse gave you a proper stable electrical supply and allowed your components to perfo... |
