| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Shadorne, The second speaker system I ever owned was Tympani 3a's tri-amped. Very complex system to get my arms around. I was only 22 then and the imaging imbalances in my room at that time drove me nuts. The room was large and so were those panel... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Shadorne good read,When I went external with my Dunalavy SC4's crossovers I hard mounted all the components on 2024 1/4 inch aluminum plate. This material has a high percentage of copper content and is vibrationaly reactive in a good way. All resi... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR II speaker spikes When the VR4's are properly coupled there is no need to mass load this speaker. In fact when properly coupled it is easy to hear all the negatives of mass loading. The others have provided you with the best suggestion in mechanical coupling. Tom | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow In forty years I have had only one component failure and that was an ARC SP10. The unit flamed out, the fuse didn't blow and the breaker didn't trip. I was there in the room when this happened. I tripped the breaker myself in the closet where the ... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow You need to try the non fuse repalacements from Rick at Virtual Dynamics. They are high power magnets.. They are 3d and sound as if you have an entirely new amp. Tom | |
| CDP Isolation? Sns,I agree with you. What gets me is this.The word isolation is such a poor choice of a descriptive term for a product catagory that fails to function well with one physical state let alone several at the same time. Designers need to look away fr... | |
| CDP Isolation? Isolation? Some isolation? Total isolation? Isolation from what is floorborne? Isolation from what may be airborne. How about isolation from what is internally generated? How would you be able to attain isolation? Tom | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Photon..Exactly..You got it going thats great. The whole idea is not to store excess energy whether it be a musical instrument a speaker cabinet or an electronic device. You want to lessen the time signature much as you would in a capacitor. You w... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Photon,Experiencing the audible advantages that brass has added to floor mounted musical instruments, I believe that the active harmonic structurer of brass fasteners in relation to the mass of a speaker cabinet would be a benefit. The extraneous ... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: PhotonYou are right about those fasteners in use with mdf. I dipped my brass screws in Cascade Audio paste. The paste product is like concrete when it drys and it is drawn into the pores of the wood or mdf. When my Dunlavys were in use I sealed al... | |
| SOTA, soft feet or cones, when to use either? There are Audiopoints available to work with Sota turntables. I use a couple of Starsound products in conjuction with my own designs in the grounding and mechanical coupling of musical instruments. I also use the Audiopoints in unison with my LP12... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Most tweeters use metric size to hold the domes in place. Vifa, Seas, Scanspeak, Peerless all use metric. Brass the metal of music, on a t-shirt coming your way soon. Tom | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? I use cables that have mass loaded non ferrous dielectric insulator to absorb and deflect vibration and emf. Can it get better....always. Tom | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? The Cirkulus is flat black in color to tame light scatter. It also is a lightweight metallic to act as an instantaneous heat sink to counter some of the heat generated by the laser as it reads each pit. You don't want your pits warped do you. Tom | |
| Does coloring the edges of CD's help the sonics? Norm,I found a few extra Cirkulus cd disc enhancers in my stash. I'll send you one to try. I painted the top surface of one of mine with AVM. If I were to paint the inside with AVM it would increase the thickness and may not load properly with my ... |
