| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Vicente,I would look at the ESA caps from Clarity Cap. http://www.claritycap.co.uk/products/esa.phpI see these as a great value and are used by several high perception electronic manufacturers. I am sure you are going outboard with the crossover a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil In the past I used 8 and 10 gauge inductors for bass and foils for upper mids and highs. My self and friend thought the round wire sounded best on the low end and the flat for the highs. We tried this on SC4's. The inductors were North Creek and S... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers I have a table that can be used. The alloy I was seeing and hearing in "surround sound" had an additive that was a hardener to increase the wear characteristics. Great if you needed brakes for your race car but this one additive made for some craz... | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/datasheet.asp?PN=HBL5361Side and back mounts for wire. You can clamp just the bare wire. All brass non ferrous. The parts/screws that are magnetic you can replace with brass. 6-8 US on Ebay and then you can hav... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers While picking and choosing and auditioning new materials for the latest platforms this session appeared. There was a variation.. of many tried that was less than 1/2 of 1 percent difference in gross material content. The presentation of this singl... | |
| Paint that helps diffuse sound? Or a store that sells and installs Energy Rooms..no joke. Tom | |
| Paint that helps diffuse sound? I do this inside speaker cabinets and works well. Only thing stopping me from applying the same formula to my dedicated room's wall is my bride. It was built to be my space but over the years that distinction became blended. Tom | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others Once upon a time on a similar thread these words came off my finger tips.I purchased single outlet Hubbell 6361's less resonance I believe, all brass and copper save for some external mounting and one terminal screw which I replaced for brass. I h... | |
| Paint that helps diffuse sound? A rough surface will diffuse the sound. Sound will travel along a smooth wall and a hardwood floor, like a wing it will sail. You can mix your own paint. You just need to know what to add. Tom | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers There is a gain in apparent dynamics with just the Audio Point alone. The shelf between the two points increases the collection area of the tip. When all is mechanically grounded to a much higher mass such as a floor then energy migrates in that d... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Here is what I have encountered.Cables take time to break in and so do mechanical grounding devices such as those we design. Energy is always in search of ground and when that point of contact is broken or moved it takes time to re establish that ... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Agear is correct in using the APCD2 coupling discs on his cork floor. You should also use these discs on hardwood,stone or tile floors. I prefer the sound benefit when using a coupling disc between the point tip and the bottom of the component. Th... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Stanford researchers control light using synthetic magnetism.I haven't been able to replicate this at home in my audio room yet, but I am working on it. Tom | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Buy one and try one. Or several. Your into trying stuff aren't you. Tom | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed How about magnets. Magnets enhance the directionality of ac passing thru them much the same as cryo treatment of metals and conductors enhance and unify the direction of their molecules. Results are better sound. Improved dynamics, lower noise. |
