| What is purpose of a cd transport? CD data is encoded using Reed-Solomon error correction. The job of the transport is to read the bits (1's and 0's pits/no pits) off the disk including the additional data for error correction and place it all into a buffer for software error corre... | |
| woofers gone wild For starters you could simply check the DC voltage at your speaker terminals with a digital voltmeter and see what this reads with power on and power off. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with the results to find out what is an acceptab... | |
| woofers gone wild If the woofers just make a click then you could be Ok ....but if they click and remain off from their center position then you probably have a DC offset as Eldartford correctly points out. | |

| Speaker and amp balance question????? Do you have the volume turned up with no source music playing when making your test?If so, you will be hearing the noise floor of your system. It seems quite possible and accceptable that you could have slightly different noise floor levels/signal... | |
| Need to turn volumn up to break in speaker cable? Gunbei,Actually this should have no effect on your sound at all. Just be wary of any male neighbours who volunteer to help you relieve the musical stiffness in your cables. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? John Deacon. I agree with a lot of the posts already but thought he should be addedJohn Deacon of Queen fame wrote "I want to Break Free" and I believe was largely reponsible for Queen's ability to produce such very memorable/catchy "primordial rh... | |
| your opinion on subwoofers in two channel Depends on your two channel audio objectives, for each objective my suggestions are; Balance of esthetics, quailty & function: get small moderately priced speakers (6" woofers or less, 6 db at 60 to 100 Hz) and a reasonably priced mid-size sub... | |
| Speaker and amp balance question????? Please disregard my previous post. I see from your posted system that you have modified the original crossover of the Hales T-5's and have changed the original aluminium tweeter to a Seas Excel Millenium soft dome fabric tweeter.Your x-over design... | |
| Need to turn volumn up to break in speaker cable? It is a real compromise. Try to burn in with what you like listening to most ...and that will be best.If you burn in with Jazz music then rock will sound funky.If you burn in with a computer signal then all music will sound digital.If you burn in ... | |
| Speaker and amp balance question????? I suspect you have an intermittent problem either with your amp or your speaker....most likely one of the tweeters themselves because they are mechanical and can certainly fail for a variety of reasons (and after all that is what you just got back... | |
| Did I really need a sub woffer in the first place? Bigjoe and Bignerd100,I am confused. Which is better? Putting the sub in Breuning11's listening chair and crawling around on the floor while ajdusting phase and volume for each position.or Sitting in the listening chair and moving the sub all arou... | |
| Did I really need a sub woffer in the first place? This speaker is not designed to work with a sub woofer.The 5 way Veritas 2.4 dual ported design is known for an impressive and weighty base. Energy do not state their THD figures but they do say that 25% THD is acceptable in a high-end speaker and... | |
| Speaker Life I don't think you can generalize....a lot depends on the speaker manufacturer and their design philosophy. It can probably vary from as little as 5 years to much longer.At one extreme are pro studios, where robustness is very important, usage is h... | |
| Gallo Nucleus reference II tweeter not working There was another post about this same issue last week from someone else.Perhaps, you could get together and call the manufacturer of the speaker. A good manufacturer should stock replacement parts even for older models or, at least, an upgrade pa... |
