| custom Crossover building service?? Upgrade the parts quality do not change the values.Are there any parts values you can determine...resistors are the cheapest and most bang for your buck...Ohmite non-inductive wire wound available from North Creek Music Systems.Tom | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century As for power cords I use all Sonoran Plateau..The Plateau has the Micro-Bearing steel insulator. Really wokeup my Krell SACD player..Everything is now in the right proportion and with even greater perspective..I have the old Sonoran cable hardwire... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Or, In search of the next level. Tom | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Yep....Tom | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Charlie you are correct. The cabinet is in motion and stores energy and that counteracts the motion of the drivers we only wish to hear. That is why I use the Sistrum stands under all my components as well as speakers. The designer makes claims th... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Sir you are mistaken. The back and forth motion of a 100lb speaker on a carpeted floor while reproducing music is greater than the total excursion of the tweeter in that very same speaker. So much for proper phase response and time alignment..And ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, the most effective way to reach the synergy we all wish to achieve is thru high speed mechanical grounding techniques. Ground is the point of reference,and the most efficient way to reach the reference is direct coupling..Tom | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? You have lost efficiency by hanging the speaker in air.The natural tendency is for the cone to move back and forth. The back emf is swinging the speaker.. The front force of the cone is being cancelled by the back emf. Who wants that? An athlete c... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Sir I beg to differ. In your proposal there is no provision for resonant energy to leave. The resonance will come out the front the back the sides. You will have a 360 degree resonant pattern to augment the music..Tom | |
| Arcam AV8, Krell Showcase or Aragon Stage One I would take the Krell over any that you mentioned even the Lexicon.. Sounds better..On the suface it is not as flexible..It is though and most people do not need 90 dsp modes 4 would be enough..With a URC 800 Remote the Krell works flawlessly and... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? You need to call the boys at Starsound about the use of Sistrum with your speakers..You should be able to position the triangle of the Sistrum in a way that will not interfere with the driver on the bottom..They will help a lot. Even the use of Au... | |
| subwoofers: the bigger the better? I did not place my two subs for most bass output..They certainly have plenty of output for my tastes. I placed my subs for the maximum in intergration with their fullrange brothers..They are about 5 out about inches from the outside edge of each m... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well gentlemen I am a proponent of Sistrum technology..It is everywhere in my system. In side components as well as outside. Under my subs under my Dunlavy's, under my Dunlavy external crossovers. I have an Sp6 rack and 2 Sp101's, one under each o... | |
| subwoofers: the bigger the better? Go for stereo subs if your goal is the best in stereo soundstage reproduction and intergration. I have been bi-amping or have been using stereo subs since 1981. With 2 the soundstage becomes mush wider and much more coherent..I have used 5 differe... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Actually I live in Louisville Kentucky..I know most of the audio crowd in this state..So I was just reaching out...I may have questions concerning the structure of the chassis ..Thanks for the invites..Tom |
