| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? GeoffPaint by number, flavor of the month, retune your system because you don't like it today, mix and try to match, hodge podge, soup sandwich...greed, great marketing. All based around the misuse and misapplication of the word isolation. Crying ... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Cruz,Thanks for asking..So called mechanical isolation is a kin to cap coupling in electronics. Cap design and their material makeup are coloration devices as are materials and geometry chosen to make so called isolation devices. All of these are ... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Its as if your gear in a mechanical sense is all cap coupled from the inside to the outside environment and back again. In some worlds cap coupled is the color of the day. So called isolation devices are indeed crayons from some kids tool box. Tom | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? I have modded pairs of subs before...one at a time. I always had one to listen to and ran it in mono. I left the sub that played in the the same position as when it was part of the stereo pair. I also have a Velodyne smps digital eq which is mono ... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? I have had a number of people be part of this demonstration some listeners with a great deal of experience others who think an I-Pod is highest of fidelity. None however with just a single sub. Tom | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? No I have never tried that. It would be mixed mono and not stereo and there would't be the close chance of aligning the voice coil of the mains and the subs. I have used a single sub of the same pair while I was doing a mod on its mate. The single... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? An audible and visual floor to ceiling wall to wall sonic presentation. No holds barred and no apprehension of scale or contrast. The 3rd sub may add some weight but I cannot allow it to alter the time and phase coherency I currently have. I would... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? MceljoNo I have not done a single behind the chair sub but I may add a third off to the left side of my room some 14 feet back from my listening chair. I am sure there is a void this 3rd may fill that hole where ever it is. Soundstage presentation... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Rather than stuck in a box I will accept "off the rails" as a compliment. Thanks Tom | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Several first time visitors when hearing the system with their eyes closed were asked to point in both directions where the sound stage ended..it was a foot or two beyond the main stereo pair. When asked to do the same with the same recording the ... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? TimlubBack in the day when I first began to use stereo subs I also used Marcof inner connects the ones that were black. I also had the latter blue ones but the black ones sounded as if they had less phase shift so I sold those off the blues and st... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? And their are those who look beyond what has been published yesterday. The most important word you posted is 'hear' A box has boundaries and so does a room. When pressurized they generate upward harmonics even from applied electrical slopes of 24d... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? KalA room an enclosure and free air are all passive radiators so they all must be incompetent. Tom | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? You can hear where the bass originates even below 40 hz. Again the box/enclosure is a giant passive upward frequency generator. A 40 hz crossover point will not stop the box from being pressurized above that selected frequency. You will increase t... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Dual stereo L/R time aligned subs matched up with the mains is the way to fly. Even if you cross over the subs at 40hz the actual cabinet enclosure acts as a giant passive radiator creating at least 4th order harmonics that need to be blended in t... |
