| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @phusis The original topic posed was clearly focused on passive crossovers. Off topic, active crossover as an alternative to passive opinion was introduced and you started pontificating about their unquestionable superiority how active wins o... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Besides: my main intention was to point at the amp to driver interfacing, and how active wins out every day here. This is not debatable - indeed it’s a damn fact. Wins in what specific technical and measurable ways? Trade offs must be honestly... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @bdp24 Very well said summary. For a DIY person crossover modifications or going the amp for each driver route would not be difficult. If one can't handle a soldering iron, stay away from DIY. Passive crossover or all active can result in a s... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @phusis Russbutton describes an active crossover providing signal to an amplifier for each driver. For a three driver speaker, three separate amps required. Six amps total for a typical 2 channel system. That is increased complication. In no ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @russbutton You provide an interesting alternative path that can work if one likes massive over-complication that introduces numerous paths to problems. Unless big bucks are spent, the number of cheap, wide tolerance, low reliability components ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? There is basically nothing new in crossover design, no doubt, as time went on these manufacturers refined their crossovers, just as we can see that Eggleston did. It’s a natural progression. If there is truly nothing new in crossover design, w... | |
| Saving old vintage gear is a lot harder than people make it out to be. ESR of an electrolytic cap in good condition will be less than 0.1 ohm. A poly cap will typically have a lower ESR. The ESR difference between the two cap types is tiny and will make no difference in filter parameters. Just another audio myth r... | |
| Saving old vintage gear is a lot harder than people make it out to be. @jmncbh Glad you are happy. For future reference here is information to consider. The 100 uF cap was likely in the woofer circuit. Finding a reasonably sized 100 uF Poly cap is a challenge. You probably discovered that. Can usually get away w... | |
| Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room Jay didn’t seem too impressed with the sound, and he couldn’t talk his way around it, because you could see it in his facial expressions. Respectfully, to me Jay's behavior was one of thoughtful analysis mixed with some confusion. Was he strugg... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Neither do many of the members. IIRC Amir himself uses old ML class A monos, not high SINAD NCore or Purifi based products. Don't recall many of the faithful taking Amir to task for owning a system well into the 6 figure range. Anyone else spe... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @bobbyloans If you want to go full OCD, don't assume anything about the speakers. Trust, but verify. Push on connectors are bad. Soldered connections better. Anything magnetic at the binding post, replace. Picture of the crossover indicat... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devinplombier Do something besides spewing nonsense. Put forth a little effort and do the research yourself. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devinplombier Now that’s a load of unsubstantiated BS - heavy on innuendo and MIA on facts. All facts. Read many of the threads on ASR. Name calling and personal attacks routine behavior. Your comments follow the ASR model. Amir jumped a ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I believe Amir started with good intentions to provide useful information. The emergence of a vocal, sometimes arrogant and nasty, ASR following turns many off. Amir has done very little to rein in the most offensive ASR faithful. Amir himself ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. If we're gonna question every W/P owner's posting credentials, why don't we bring up Danny Richie's past association with AV123 and its convicted criminal scammer Mark Schifter? Geez. I hate YouTube personalities. @mulveling Nobody is question... |
