| Copper Sleeve over IEC About a year ago on another thread, I told of removing the ferrous cover on my ac mains box. That made for a nice improvement and heard by others in my listening room as my system was being played. Tom | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I use brass ac outlet cover faceplates. My power cords use steel bearing fill as a dielectric RFI shield as well as being a drain for micro-vibrations. I love that sound. I will try out the copper end shield over and near the IEC end of my power c... | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? For the best in sound use a reative material such as steel shot or brass. Tom | |
| Digital cable optimal length? 1.42 meters..Tom | |
| Speaker Height - improved bass response. The late Peter Garland Snell has patents from the early 70's on the shape and design of baffles and their relationship to loading to room surfaces. Some may look to the United States Patent Office for guidance, number 3,964,571 issued June 22nd 19... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak Everything is modulated from either it's own inneraction or from some outside source. Motion is endless, as is the modulated distortion that results. Try hanging a stationary hat on that. Tom | |
| Dynaudio sub with C1's George,I first placed the Sp101 platforms so that one leg fell with in the footprint of the stands that hold my mains. This way I could place each sub as close to its partner as possible. I then aligned the sub on its platform so its voice coil wa... | |
| Dynaudio sub with C1's George,I agree with Bob about the use of an external crossover. If you go this route make sure the crossover has a variable phase control. A zero or 180 phase switch just doesn't get it. I know by using and measuring the in room response with a pa... | |
| Dynaudio sub with C1's Xtp16If your Rel sub sounds slow its because of self induced stored energy. There are methods and devices that collect and disapate these resonaces. The stored mechanical energy will blend itself with any note to follow. These methods should be ap... | |
| 2 Channel Sub Woofer, 1 or 2 Sub-woofers? I have used two subs for the last thirty years. Try to wave launch [time align] each sub to its respective left or right main partner. Its all about proper phase control. Tom | |
| The day the music died. Larry,Yes I recall your reaction that day. Funny what we sometimes remember and hold onto.We demo'd on Essence 10's.. 2'3rd's of the way back on the left side of the store. Have several versions of "True Love Ways". One of these versions has a sho... | |
| What should be under my speakers? GentsI can tell you without an audible doubt with my ears and two other pairs in audience that tighter coupling is more benefical than that provided by leveling. Unless you use additional added shim or shims of the same material you will loose cou... | |
| What should be under my speakers? Time warp..Just a few years back the mere written word Audiopoint, Sistrum, coupled, resonance transfer, those words those terms were beaten up on these pages. So now with a little temperance from all involved, myself included those once riddled w... | |
| DIY wood diffusers Buconero,Thanks for the link to see these panels. I made something similar in ways except the inverse. I built angular enclosures around my ceiling mounted video screen and a soffit overhead surrounding the ductwork. The enclousers are built of bi... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak TeajayCongratulations you have sucessfully direct coupled your loudspeakers to the higher mass of ground. You have shortened the delay time and amount of energy storage within the diaphragm and the frame work that tensions the membrane. The wave l... |
