| Stone fireplace wall effects on acoustics? Guarantee you won't like my solution. I had stone fireplace, in my case not flush to side walls, stuck out perhaps two feet from side wall so two pocket one on either side of fireplace. I tried long wall setup with speakers firing into fireplace, ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality For the haters of streaming. I predict you'll all be listening and likely loving streaming at some point. CD's will continue to decline, vinyl limited releases. No wonder a lot of used streamers available, people upgrading streaming equipment, not... | |
| forte 3 crossover build Just watched 'services' link on GR Research site, see Miflex capacitors being used, those also step up from Sonic cap. They should develop kits for all Klipsch Heritage. Jerrygarcia, many of us diy's could wire this up for you, the problem is resp... | |
| Is your now then? Inscrutable, we had a Lafayette store in our neighborhood for a short time when I was a kid, Really had no sense of high end audio, but seeing inside all this electronic equipment brought about sense of wonder. As an adolescent, good friend purcha... | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps All amps require proper matching with speakers to sound best. SET amp won't sound its best with speakers requiring high damping factor, limpid bass. Steep impedance curve not good, unbalanced sound, need easier to drive. And not all SET created eq... | |
| forte 3 crossover build Inductors in GR Research look nice, I'd put better capacitors on that board, sonic caps can be bettered, also mount outside speaker. | |
| forte 3 crossover build So, GR Research will supply you the parts and schematic, all you have to do is wire it up? If true, you only need to develop soldering skills. Don't you also have Crites and ALK Engineering to choose from?I purchased Crites crossover for my Klipsc... | |
| Is your now then? Newfound best friend had Dynaco quad system setup with Linn LP12. No other system I'd heard prior had that sense of realism. I tried to replicate that sound for years with various systems, no dice. Finally figured out I was trying to recreate that... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! I quit using audio stores years ago, seemed less useful as I became more knowledgeable. Brands I'm interested in not available, I'm into SET and high efficiency speakers, not too many dealers into this. Easy availability of buying and selling used... | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps 300B SET no inherent lack of dynamics, proper matching with speakers, quality of power supply and transformers all have role to play. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV For me, mid horn design and construction material extremely critical, Tractrix design and wood construction. Exponential metal or plastic horns cannot provide natural dispersion or timbre. Tweeter and mid drivers need to be in proper physical alig... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I don't get Klipsch Heritage line. Some believe the stock speakers just fine, others have need to modify. As for myself, I'm in the mod camp, how anyone can put up with their timbre anomalies is beyond me (other issues I won't go into, timbre by f... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. There is a good argument to be made that right now is the best time to be a music fan. We now have available all the music made from the beginning of recorded music to now, we have better systems to play it on, with performers in room sense of my ... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? I'd like to hear directly from present production Elrog 300B users. Until I hear about direct experience as to reliability I can't seriously consider purchasing them. | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. You had to be there to experience it, and I was, magical time for sure. Unfortunately, I presume many weren't able to experience the live concert experience based on where they lived. I lived in Ann Arbor Mich. in these decades, really experienced... |
