| Acapella ion tweeters At an audio show years ago John Dahlquist demo-ed a system with Ionovac tweeters. Sounded very cool and open .The hotel room was also cool with the windows open to exhaust the ozone buildup.. | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Hello,Its hard to get your hands around a soup sandwich. Mixing shelves of different thickness and different woods with rubber pucks and points of steel with those of carbon fiber or titanium, brass or lead, sitting on grandmoms girdle between two... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Bob, Two competing theories- dampening vs resonance transfer.Besides believing in one and not the other, a person should not mix the two. If you do mix the two you have no reference point for either one. Yes when I removed all rubber from the bott... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Bob, I have found in using the Sistrum products they work even more effectively when I remove all factory feet, rubber or any other material. I think the rubber slows down the extraction of resonance that Sistrum drains away so well. I wonder how ... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? I was recently challenged by a friend who is a Sistrum Platform non believer to measure in room response of a system consisting of Thiel CS6's Krell amp and pre and Krell cd. All of this sat on a Stand Design audio rack. I used Audiocontrol RTA an... | |
| Sand or Lead shot Micro-bearing steel was chosen for the specific application of transfering resonant energy to ground. Again Sistrum was designed as a high speed transfer agent not as a slow speed blurred focus, time signature distorted ,dynamic dampening device. ... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Micro-bearing around the final dielectric of the new Sonoran cables also makes a big difference. Same increase in blacker backround more detail and better focus as Ken discribed when he added micro-bearing to his rack. Sistrum platforms are benifi... | |
| What type of solder do you use and why? Riehl Copper solder from Starsound, has given me the best sound. NO LEAD..LEAD free highs. This formula is an original not just a re-label! I have 2 sets of cables both assembled by the same tech. One set with silver based solder the other with Ri... | |
| Using subs as speaker stands ? Component quality speaker stands exist! Rubber will only slow and then re-release stored resonant energy back into your speakers, your room, and again your speakers, and then your room again . This continuim does not stop. I would first optimise y... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Fantastic results after installing the largest Sistrum platforms under my almost still Dunlavy SC4's. Bigger speakers or amps require larger, and deserve, larger platforms. Marked improvement in bottom end, larger clearer window on the sound. Most... | |
| Has The Maker ever seen yours? Almost fifty now means I"ve been around awhile. My first home was the most visited.. Late 70's early 80's. Peter Snell late of Snell Accoustics, Jon DahlQuist ya got to remember him. Matt Polk Of Polk Audio. Tom Holman of then Apt Holman and NOW..... | |
| Vibration Tweaks What selected resonances are being dampened that will not interfere with dynamics, transient speed, or coherence..?You succeeded in re-tuning your arm and cartridge by shifting the resonances to a different frequency. They are still attached. | |
| Vibration Tweaks Sistrum and Audiopoints are based on physics and not conjecture. These devices are the only ones I am aware of that were simultaneously designed to evacuate, electrical, mechanical,as well as airborne disturbances. They do not dampen nor do they i... | |
| Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound? The TV is whats interfering with the sound. The fabric could only make it better! You must be experiencing severe reflections off the the TV in between your speakers . If you do build a frame of wood and cloth try taming reflections on the insides... | |
| Vibration Tweaks Let it vibrate. You can't fight mother nature. However you can introduce a high speed condutive path for the Coloumb energy to exit. I have been using Audio Points and Sistrum products for nearly 10 yrs. These devices based on Coloumbs law of phys... |
