| Replace Krell Showcase Preamp mode with 280P? David you have a 2 channel preamp that retails for $3500 and a 7 chn preamp with video switching, onscreen display, dsp on board for 4k..Sounds like two totally different critters to me. And two different pieces of equipment directed towards two d... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? If you want to make the stage blacker, quieter and have the music arrive noise free and I believe everyone does, then the most over looked, easiest, most cost effective ,and most fullfilling crossover mod is to replace the resistors.. They are the... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Jayboard the whole approach is to not impede the flow but to allow the flow to happen more easily. If you add a point or mass to the top of a component you will disrupt the speed and have multiple points of exit..none being more coherent or effici... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Fiddler thanks for the nice try the open mind! There may be again, a second round. In the mean time listen and enjoy..Tom | |
| Crossover cap value? I feel Jeff is correct when he says to let the speaker crossover do its job. I would not add any more caps to this scenario..you will be adding phase shift. Why don't you consider upgrading some of the internal passive components of the Studio20's... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Fiddler I have sold or installed many hundreds of Audiopoints and many Sistrum platforms and racks. It has been my experience to only use the APCD protective coupling discs on hard or decorative surfaces such as hardwood floors, wooden speaker sur... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Fiddler your speakers as you described previous were never direct coupled to the floor underneath the carpet and the Persian rug combo. If you had removed the Persian rug and tried the use of Audiopoints under your speakers I feel certain the poin... | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared Hello, I have been a user of Audiopoints since the the Earth cooled and a user of Sistrum since the turn of the century, and I am recently a dealer for both. There is a local Goner here in Louisville who asked me over several months ago to compare... | |
| Hales tweeter? Leave it alone unless your prepared and capable of reworking the crossover to match the tweeter. Swapping drivers and making them blend as one is not just a simple level match. You could be real lucky though. Tom | |
| Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa John, Peter Snell had a speaker [Type 1} that had its drivers near the floor level on an angled baffle tilted back with a ramp in front to reduce the floor bounce effect..He also had a U.S.patent on baffle designs to reduce room boundary effects. ... | |
| Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa Try this: Move your listening chair,place a ladder where your chair use to be. Play a constant test tone at about 60hz. Climb the ladder up to ceiling height, make reference of the 60hz tone with either an spl meter or your audio memory. As you co... | |
| Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa The problem is the variation in the reaction of the woofers to the floor and the ceiling. You have a large differential in boundary effects. The woofer on top is much further from the ceiling than the woofer on the bottom is from the floor. So you... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Bevan great to know that Audiopoints are well heard of half way around the world..Wish we could beam you over a complete Sistrum package duty free..I haven't been a doubting Thomas for many years now..Tom..I am a Starsound dealer. | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? The wave launch and acoustic center point of my room is aimed at my listening chair and away from my audio rack..Does not everyone listen like this? Geometric acoustic devices designed as part of my ceiling further capture frequencies and redirect... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Barry what is the bandwidth of your devices? Have you calculated a refresh rate ..at what point do your devices become saturated and then impede frequencys that follow? Tom |
