| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER Phase coherence or lack there of in just one channel could skew the image balance off to one side. This effect can be caused by either your electronics or an acoustic inbalance in your listening room {a variance in pressure}. Tom | |
| DK Design Review I heard the 10's a few months back with the Statement integrated, Exemplar 5910 on a Sistrum Sp1. Music I had played at home and elsewhere...music detail and cues I had never experienced before. Very cool..Tom | |
| DK Design Review Well I suppose the new owner wants the public to visit in person a dealer whose intention is to demo a properly set up and performing audio system. No more mail order brides,no more sleasze. A business profile that is supportive of all involved, i... | |
| Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V? I agree with Sean..In my experience with SC4's the resistor change I made and the coating of the enclosure walls with V-Bloc from Cascade Engineering made the most difference..The use of non ferrous mounting material and screws in and around the c... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization The removal of ferrous materials in and around circuit boards, crossovers and speakers will result in lower distortion and a more musical presentation. Providing vibration direction,focus and relief in my experience results in a much more natural,... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Brass of course..And then proper mechanical grounding of all the boards, power supply caps, transformers and then the entire chassis. Vibration either self induced or of external influence can be given a positive relief to a higher mass..ground. Tom | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Knowing the real answer to why? may greatly increase the application of the answer. Tom | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Electrons vibrate regardless of mass. If there was no motion their would be no sound. Giving that motion focused direction and relief is the key to better sound and greater efficiency. Tom | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Hey guys my thoughts were that removing the top changed the vibrational pattern and therefore the sound...for the better or for the worse. I am very comfortable with myself knowing that vibration can be given a pattern as well as direction in all ... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization By removing the cover you will have changed the mechanical mass of the entire chassis.Vibration and it effects on the circuitry will also have been changed. Vibration influences can greatly alter the spectral balance. The amp has been retuned with... | |
| Review: Morrow Audio 300B1 Monoblocks Tube amp Mr Morrow I deleted my own post in commenting on the photos of your amp attached here. Trying myself to be less sarcastic these days. So anyway who pulled the photos of your amp and why? Tom | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER Mihalis what is the reference position for all sounds,and where are they supposed to be seen on the landscape of audio recordings? Even with vocals, which you would assume to be placed at perfect center there may be a blur in the acoustic bubble w... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER Much to do with your room geometry. Windows and doors, more pressure, less pressure, absorbtive, reflective, reactive.Look overhead, is there a soffit on one side of the room and not the other. It should all look the same so it all sounds the same... | |
| Should we upgrade high end fuses? Rx I have often thought of solid copper but was always afraid of hurting my family. The house the hi-fi that all can be conjured up once again. One friend I know replaces the fuses with circuit breakers saying they sound much better, you need more... | |
| Ayre C 5xe Universal vs. Cary 306 SACD Always nice to hear from the TWO of you as well..One post covers TWO Bills. A certain gain of efficiency wouldn't you concur twice, in your singular mind, Bill/Bill?..Tom |
