| Krell SACD Standard problem Yes and it also sounds better...I know this first hand and with both ears.Tom | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Jd,Yes I have a list of component values for my SC4's and not 4a's..You have the Focal woofers..So the values I have are probably different.It was for me very easy to unscrew and to slide the crossover out of the back of the speaker.The values wer... | |
| H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied. I am a dealer for Starsound products. Speaker stands are critical to the mass...and the energy that this speaker is designed to transfer out from itself. The dedicated Sistrum stands allow for vertical adjustment. I found that raising the front of... | |
| How U determine first and second reflection points David I suppose you could follow as so many others do the same old pitch of foam and fiberglass that so many companys build..These products often do as much harm as they do good..they reduce energy in the room and often suck out the life..Tom | |
| How U determine first and second reflection points The ceiling wall junctions all around the room should be treated as reflection areas. To me these are the critical areas to treat not to kill but to redirect the pressure back at the listening position. You want the energy that usually flows along... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow I heard the model 2's at Larry's several times over a 5 month period. Even the first prototype pair I heard looked great and sounded great. Very alive and dynamic, excellent bass and tonal balance top to bottom..I heard these speakers with 3 diffe... | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Yes we did talk about crossover upgrades by changing parts..and I also remember us speaking about the angled baffles that I used atop my SC4's to reduce bass cancelation caused by dissimilar distance between upper and lower woofers in relation to ... | |
| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic Just caught this thread..I had back in the day a pair of ESS Translinear2's with the Kef 9/12 oval woofer as Vintage described..These speakers had incredible bass clarity and speed because of the styrofoam material of the woofer made a great linea... | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa If you change the sand cast 10 cent resistors for non inductive type sold under the North Creek Music branded name or better yet a resistor bridge made of multiple Vishay metal film type's you will hear a world of detail released from a black grai... | |
| Sonic inpact of spike/floor protectors Hifistan you work for Adona don't you. Just curious,tell us your thoughts and experiences with various coupling methods,devices and materials versus your experience with isolation methods or materials. I am a Starsound dealer and have been for a c... | |
| Sonic inpact of spike/floor protectors Actually I prefer the sound/performance gains using the APCD coupling discs between the point surface and wood, poly or glass. The fact you have the same material as a intercepting surface collection area actually sounds better to me, than merely ... | |
| Outstanding Speakers, Outstanding Saffy the new dedicated stands are outstanding..Having used the previous 24in Sistrum stands with the Caravelles the new stands allow the speakers to open up even more..The new stands allow the speakers to become invisible with more speed and top ... | |
| Isolation cones. Single piece cones and or points are more effective and sound better than the multi element points described above.You have much superior coupling and energy transfer with a single surface/element device.Tom | |
| Making a Geographic Warren I am using my Caravelles with a pair of James EMB 1200 subs, each on their own Sistrum Sp101 paltforms..With the subs as tight to the outside of the mains as possible and one half inch back the blend is seamless. In fact I was able to loop ... | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies Try and do one thing at a time so you can evaluate any change that may occur. If you take the same path as me,I wouldn't add any absorbent material until you have completed the changes in geometry. You may find you need no other fixes. Much of wha... |
